hi guys my small turbo escos is off the road at the moment due to head gasket being blown and radiator leaking and thought now would be a good time to up the power. car already has full ss exhaust with de cat, induction kit and rs500 spec intercooler. ive ordered a reinz group A headgasket set. ive been keeping my eye on msd 350 bhp conversion and liking the sound of this. what headbolts fuel pump and other bits would you recomend.

thanks scott

 

grp a in tank pump new std head bolt kit b igger turbo and siemens injectors..
will do 400 bhp then

cheers danny

 

It`s not so easy on st escos, eec4 ecu is more complicate to map for bigger injectors, i think msd still working on it, it`s another tread about it here some place

 

whats the best fuel pump to go for. places and prices to check
what is standard head bolts good for bhp wise.
thanks scott

 

I use this pump, i bought it other place, but Matt have great prices

Many Cosworth whit 400-450hp whit standar headbolts, i use 12.9 bolts fore years

 

forgot to mention you can or need to change the ecu...theres an after market ecu from sweden that fits straight to the st escos and its live mapapple with lots of features,its called civinco...

ps iv had and modified lots of escos mate..


cheers danny

 

Hehe, it was something missing there yes

Cheers

 

The head on the EECIV is limited to around 350bhp as standard as well .

 

Around a bit more than that

Interesting. What limits the power out of curiousity? How do they differ to a t34 head?

 

Can the ST head be improved upon or is it just its not as good as a BT head as standard ??

 

what sort of mods are needed for this mark ?

is it just ecu change

 

What has changed?

 

Turbo/intercooler/Ecu.

It can be improved - the ports are just smaller than a BT head, so it becomes restrictive beyond 350bhp.
