My 3 door is currently on greens with a tt t34.55, 500 cooler, fresh rebuild but standard engine and head e.t.c. Still on l1 i believe with msd chip.

Thinking of changing spec slightly in winter. Just wondering which injectors are the next ones from greens which are readily available and how much cost wise?

Also would i benifit from an inlet cam at this stage? Bearing in mind ive standard pistons?

Lastly with a new spec of t34.55, injectors and possible cam what would i expect to see power wise? I understand they will be guestimates and i will select a tuner and discuss just wanting some ideas upfront. Thanks.

 

que the 4i

 

Ab07 i take it then?

Is i worth the hasstle on a standard head?

 

Lol at u Tony.

Thanks.Lee.

 

where is the tall one today? i'd have thought he'd be all over this like a bad rash.

 

Im saying nothing, im just a train driver not a cossie tuner

Steve

 

and low and behold as if by magic he appears

 

that spec with a abo7 will be brilliant for a fast road car id say a honest 370bhp and 340/350lb
steve will tell you that his is was brilliant at the spec BUT he went number chasing and the rest is history but im sure if you did a indepth search on here you can find his exploits

 

An ab 07 inlet cam with a spacer in the inlet if its a 2wd one or even better a 4x4 inlet plenum with a pf09 tps and a level 8 ecu upgrade and some 55lb siemens injectors with a decent live map would see a geniune 380 hp and 400 ft lb
Lovely all round fast road conversion !

 

Thanks for that useful info mate.

With a change if cam would it need live mapping or will a new chip do the trick?

 

Yes mate as answered above !!!lol

 

Cheers man. Not going to see much change of 2k for that you reckon?

 

Ross have you drove it enough yet mate.. As it might be wise to get used to it first...as the spec above is similar to mine and is a Wilde card in the wrong hands...in wish you all the best mate... Or and mine is in standard cams mate

 

Hey Matt.

Ive not drove it yet, 18th June. I know its crazy asking as it will be rapid for me in its current tune but i just like to know what the next steps are thats all. Im going to enjoy it for what is is this year for sure.

 

it would be closer to a grand than 2 grand but you can give me 2 k if you like

 

No danger mate... As I'd hate you to crash it as its lovely mate...

If I was you I would just get it on 55's and live mapped.

 

Haha. I was talking all parts including fitment like.

 

so was I

 

Yeah cheers man.

Should the time come, and lets face it it will, i will obv choose a tuner and go with their recommendations i just thought id ask on here just to have some knowledge myself.

Cannot wait to get in her now like, done 5 month waiting now, less than 1 to go!

 

Really?

So id get an ab07 cam, 55's, l8 mapped all fitted for less than 2000. Seems good.

 

That was a great set up i had

It was running a mild head port, standard cams and a 4x4 inlet along with light blue injectors (400s) T34.55 and a 500 spec intercooler.

The car made 371.7bhp and 350lb/ft peaking @ 1.7bar boost.

I would have the same sort of spec again (55lb injectors and the AB07 inlet cam).

The cam would just help it rev a bit better, no need for valve cutouts.

It was a very nice drive, and done the 1/4 in 12.91 sec @ 114.77mph

Steve

 

we can run it on an l1 l6 or l8 what ever you prefer
the l8 is the best of the 3 for well under 2 k
if we use your L1 it will be closer to 1k

 

Good 2nd hand l8...Ł200

set of 55lbers Ł250

Inlet cam to same spec as ab 07 Ł160

4x4 inlet plenum complete Ł130

couple of hours live map on a good base map Ł200 ish depending on who you use??

So yeah around a Ł1000 should be achieved no problem..


If you do what matt says tho and get a live map on some 55lbers for now it will be awesome and then later all your need are the bits above and the map re tweaked

 

Sounds good. Thanks mate. What advantages would i see on an l8 over and l1. I know it will be technically different but would i as an end user see a difference?

Perfect help mate. Cheers.

Ive had my fiesta custom mapped over 2 days at MSD for 300 i think so though live mapping a cosworth would be more than that.

 

If you buy a good base map ie an msd one then someone who works well with weber like turbosystems or nms etc can do the adjustments very quick so wont be alot more than Ł200 imo if not less..

 

When you say buy a good base map off msd do you mean buy a chip off them which has been specced for my mods?

 

far less than 2 grand

 

Only reason to go for L8, is if you require extra functions, such as C/L, Anti-lag, launch control etc.

The only reason you would need to change your injectors is if they could not flow enough, I should think just by changing the cam they would still be able to flow for it.

Tbh, imo, it's pointless changing cams on a standard Cosworth, i.e. T3 turbo, as the cams/head etc can consume more than the airflow you have.

just speak to tnoy at turbo systems he will run you all through it pro's and con's ect

 

Yes if you tell MSD your spec they can tweak there map/write you a custom chip to suit.

Martin

 

Thanks for everyones input.

I will speak to Tony at somepoint in the future and get some advice. Sooner rather than later.

 

2 words: Transient Fuelling.

Why would you waste your time buying a base map from a different tuner? If you're taking it to Tony you may aswell let him supply and tweek one of his own well established maps.

 

One if you read above i already said one of tonys or say msds base maps for example..

Two,who said he was deffo going to tonys??

At the end of the day anyone who can use a spanner can do the said conversion above and any one who can map out there with webber software can download a t34 55lb base map and go from there..

 

You are sounding more and more Like Danny Danny every day
