Hi iv owned my escort rs turbo for three years now and iv just reshell the car i bought christian and beccy shell. I was just wondering what power bhp can i get out from this?

Mfi
rebore block 0.5mm for o/s mahle low comp pistons
crank regrinded + new shell kit
arp con rod bolts
competition head gasket
complete engine gasket set
polished and ported head
full engine balance
piper 285t2 cam kit
piper vernier pulley
new cambet kit
new distributer
pro ally front mount intercooler
fit ahmed bayjoo chip
stage 2 t3 hybrid turbo
baileys breather tank

 

the mfi will be the main problem, could use a 5th injector for more fuel

 

Around 220bhp if the old MFI can fuel for it.

 

tbh i'd say 200ish and as above the mfi is you limiter, maybe a little bit more. If you want more then its 5th injector or efi.

The 285T2 is less than ideal too as far as i've been told.

Rob,

 

i heard the t2 is a high boost cam and the normal 285 is better

 

Same here, the 285 isn't bad, but all the comments people have made about the t2 say how laggy it is, seems to make good power though.

 

the 285T2 cam is suited to 14psi plus boost, laggy little thing too and made from soft cheese lol!
as for power, 200bhp or there abouts with a big kick in the rear once on cam.
ditch the mfi, get some efi goodness on and you're good for more and better power delivery and economy.

 

i never liked my t2, found it very laggy when i wanted power most
