My Turbo Lumps Gone Bang In My Mk5 Escort, And My Intentions Are To Rip It Out, Throw It In The Bin, And Source A Standard Engine And Start Again.

Whats My Best Options Regarding Tuning For Good Reliable Power? I'm Not Looking To Break Any Records, I Just Want A Reasonably Quick Motor.

I Intend To Build The Engine Up Myself, As I'm A Toyota Techie, Is There Anything Notoriously Difficult To Do On The CVH Lump, As I;ve Never Turned A Spanner On One Before

Cheers

Steve

 

Depending on how badly bang your engine has gone you may be better to rebuild what you have. Rebuild to standard spec but add a decent intercooler and exhaust along with a chip and -31 actuator. Get it setup by a reputable tuner and you should have a nice healthy 170bhp to play with.

 

Your budget is going to play a part in how good/bad an engine you are going to end up with. How much you looking at spending?

 

Beleive Me When I Say Its Gone Bang Pretty Badly Its One For The ScrapYard In The Sky Mate To Be Honest.

As For Budget, I Dont Know, I Could Spend Loads And Loads, But Just A Reasonable Amount For A Fairly Standard Reliable Lump Will Be Fine.
