Seen one on Autotrader for sale which has been 'chipped' to run 330bhp with a dyno sheet to prove!?

I thought as a general rule of thumb they were difficult to tune to more than 300bhp really?

 

330bhp..yeah right...with a t34 conversion...

with small turbo and ford ecu its hardly possible to get over 300bhp...

 

You would be WAYYYYY off the compressor map at about 32 lbs/min like that!

If it does make that power, it wont for long

 

Thats what I thought, anyone heard of Performance Tuning? It says in the Ad their 'The Best'!?

I'll try and find the link if you want?

Dumbass, did you miss that bit!

 

does the (LT) in the description not mean large turbo
i know its a small turbo model but could have been converted at some stage

 

Quite possibly, I don't know really!

Chip,

 

With std ECU and if it's running stock injectors, I doubt it would be much over 300bhp

 

Chris, we've now established it got an upgraded Turbo which I missed in the ad!

 

How much bhp was this convertion of yours with different cams and stuff?

 

It doesnt say what injectors it has, and it says the ECU has a chip in it, so no reason for it not to be a 330chip with a set of greens.

all seems fair enough to me having read the advert

 

whats the car at top for 8k..

Price of Escos Cos seem cheap

 

IF it's EEC-IV it's not so simple to upgrade injectors. If it was my car would be 330bhp already.

 

Whats your then Jakob, Small Turbo?

Westy, That the Mk2!

 

LHD ones are always cheaper (the ones above, not this one)

The white one at J28 looks a bargain though.

 

Yep.


But it's quick enough engine-wise. I don't think there are that many people around who can fully use ~300bhp.

 

Such LHD Escos maybe a good idea some day

 

You gotta be kidding, 300bhp in an escos feels pretty tame really in most situations.

Unless you roads over there are a lot worse condition than here?

 

I am not kidding. I really do think that there aren't many people who can really use that quick cars. And I don't mean motorway/streight line use.


There was some post by "Hooligan" I think about condition of out roads. I don't know such words in English to describe it.

 

A standard chipped EEC 4 ECU does n't run greens

I could probably express a few for you mate!

 

Can you? Well this is a job for a sailor or somebody like that. Roads in POland would be called forest paths, or walkways in other places.

 

I'm alot of things but i'm no Sailor!

Forest Paths make more sense, not good then!

 

where does it say small turbo anyways? Or have i missed that bit?

It may be a late registered big turbo. There are many late registered escort cosworths

 

The date is not production date but registation date??? I don't know about british customs but in most countries you put production date into adverts.

 

ok i take that back now ive seen the pics PMSL

Got to have had a big t conversion for 330 surely?

 

No mate we have date of first registration!

 

Theoretically with upgraded turbo, injectors and maf sensor one could map EEC IV to run 330bhp. But untill now I didn't see a company which would offer such kit.

 

Look at the pics of the engine bay Lee It certainly started out as a ST model judging by the cam cover, MAF etc... Shame it's got no heatshield though, wouldn't fancy test driving it, lol



Lee, another possibility - the RR lied

 

It still has EDIS module.



I don't have heatshield too.


You're worried about brakes or what?

 

Jakub, yes - brake reservoir is next to turbo on RHD cars

Thought it still had EDIS on it, but wasn't 100% - wouldn't be running that if on L8/P8 unless 'the best' haven't removed redundant wiring.

Over optimistic RR probably......

 

I went to poland at the beginning of the year, and the roads are absolutely terrible. Pot holes everywhere, and before you know it, its pretty easy to end up ditched. he lives near Zakopane at the bottom of the mountains.

 

I always knew RHD was bad idea I dont have place for the heat shield because breather separator is there - do I need one?


There isn't any coil visible I think. So it's still runing coil-on plug. If it is a convertion it must be somethingmore advanced like stand-alone, or S8ECU, or some new marelli mod that alows it to run coil-on plug (Stu said something taht their coilpack drivers will allow that soon)

Lot's of those around.

 

Still you saw some really beautyfull parrts...

 

Jakub, as far as I know, main reason on our cars is brake fluid reservoir, clutch and throttle cables are that side - yours is possibly ok without one, but at least one benefit would be to protect paint on bonnet which can react to the high temperatures.

 

EDIT: double post.

 

I still have that sound proofing material on the boonet and it isn't burned or anything.


There still is ABS modulator on the turbo side but it's quite far from turbo and not working in fact Nobody in POland can repair my ABS and I am not very wanting to do that as I would have it swtched of either way.
