as my other thread im looking at getting a Escort Cosworth, but want to know whats what in the tuning world? Had a 400bhp + EVO 8 for 3 years and loved.
So what mods can you do with the cossie with out changing pistons and rods??
Quiet handy with the spanners

Cheers

look around and read and search, topic was often on here, roughly 450 if well mapped and surroundings like cooling and head gasket is okay....

380/400 on std internals just a uprated h/gasket is not difficult imo

U just need the correct mix of components and stick to 1 tuners advice as they all do things differently

wrc steel gasket set(good for taking big boost),siemans black injectors,sweedish style plenuim,ported and polished,t4,air injectors,3 bar map sensor,group a coil or better with waisted spark(msd)uprated cams,ss exhaust on most cossies anyway and get Stu at msd to do a chip for itthats the best way or if your wanting to spend big mony the limits are near endlessuprated pistons,crank,rods etc etc

Ok thanks for the tips, I stay just out of Aberdeen, any tuners up my neck of the woods??

gearbox................4x4 cossie boxes are the weak link fella....but then again if u dont launch it and get it mapped "smooth" they can last.......ps 400 bhp on a cossie is easy.......

taylor8

So what kinda cost will it be to get 400bhp??

alrite mate go on www.norrismotorsport.co.uk
and look at engine tuning stages 1-6 and it will give you the full low down on whats needed for each power level but as above 450bhp with the right bits can be had with the standard internals but get it mapped properley

Taylor, you get everywhere......

the escort cossie 4x4 gearbox are good up until about the 350bhp mark bud after that you will need to get a uprated box etc etc

.....they can go at less than that....but i've been running mine at 400bhp for 3 year and only broke 1 box........

....pick a tuner and ask them...........also what have u got to start with will also help with the cost....zorst,injectors,turbo etc......and a warning to ya.......BRAKES are the best upgrade u'll ever do.....

Yup big brakes all the way waste of time having big power and having nothing to stop it

taylor8

350bhp would do nice!! Dont fancy spending loads of £££ on gearboxes and clutches really, and yeah Big breaks is a must, you gota stop!!

Thanks very much for the advice though lads..

Not sure if I should trade in the wifes 57 ST2 and get a new RS or keep the St and get a cossie as a toy!!
Have been really impressed with the ST have a Superchips remap and makes for a nice drive!
