Need Some Advice
i currently have a erst s2 setup which is running 180+ at the wheels with a pace chargecooler setup.
as i now want more power, would i benefit any extra power by installing a intercooler system and a uprated turbo?
my setup is as follows:
standard bottom end with new mahle pistons and arp bolts
stage 3 head (ported, polished etc)
standard factory t3 turbo with a new -31 actuator
original ford head gasket
kent cvh 34 cam setup with KA pulley
k&n airfilter
everything else is standard i.e metering head, no fifth injector.
is it anyhow possible to achieve more power or torque with the current setup as i dont want to spend alot of money in doing so.

yes you would benefit from a front mount loads better than a chargecooler dont need a new turbo stick with the one you have till you have funds for a bigger one then do that aswell

what would be the best turbo upgrade to look into mate, if i were to get a large i/c and turbo together?
also dnt forget that i dont intend to change the fueling system so would i be ok installing a larger i/c and turbo with the standard mfi fuel system?

Sorry guys, but 180@ the wheels on a Standard T3 and with a standard Pace Chargecooler??
I'd be very surprised if that car makes 180 at the flywheel, let alone the wheels.
Also, 105epwr, a few years ago, my RST made 220@ wheels on SCS Dyno, but was only actually 180 at the flywheel (proved this on more than one other dyno).
180@the wheels is a much harder figure to reach than I think people realise.
In answer to your question though, a uprated Intercooler is a must. Those Chargecoolers are no good for beyond 18psi IMO, even that far is a push.

Your mods are
Chargecooler
stage 3 head (ported, polished etc)
kent cvh 34 cam setup
Obviously a chip and exhaust of some sort.
BTW how much boost were you using to get 180 ATW

Dyno printout @ Torque of Devil
boost was measured 18psi max with a new -31 actuator, so wat i/c is best for the escort as i have a pro alloy one on my fiesta turbo and find it suitable for the that setup

A recent RR set up @SCS i saw 241.7 bhp@4949 rpm @flywheel and 274.1 lbft @4439 so wot u saying?i should maybe try another rolling road?? it has a 5 or so second spike of 26PSI to be honest sounds good to me plus thats why SCS are one of the best known tuners.

Blimey...274 foot pounds of torque is a hell of alot, big boost spike but even so, wouldn't have thought it would make those figures with that spec, which is basically a standard engine runnin alot of boost!! As c+b said above don't know if u'd achieve those figures at every rolling road! Not tryin to be negative, i just know how much needs to go into makin a genuine 250 ish bhp cvh running a T3, if i could have got those figures on a standard engine i wouldn't have bothered!

Assuming that Harvery's dyno is still the same one as he had when I used to go there (5+ years ago), he used to tell me to take the figures with a pinch of salt back then.
As I said earlier, my car made 220@Wheels there and went on to make 180odd at the Flywheel on a newer Dyno.

i see wot u all are saying,its a stge 3 hybrid with 55trim comp wheel,cossie 2wd ex housinge ect, c/r of 7.6:1...steel rods,crank etc etc wont give me more power i no.thats why i didnt opp for these
the rollers harvey has now are different to that analoge one u prob are talking about its a later one plugged up to a lap top etc with a printer which i have!
how do u post pics?so i can show u?i emit the torque curve peaks very quick @4000rpm(wen 26psi comes through)274lbft then by 5200rpm its tails off then 6300rpm its like 220lbft
harvey did drive it and sed its fucking lethal!!which it is the g/box will agree.ring harvey (01733576614)he no's the car (black mk3cab)ask him how and why
APT (c+b )is that your tuning shop?do u have a rr as your not far from me
and will have ago on it if so!!!cheers

trust me your figures from harvey are too high for the spec. i used to use harvey and my car was making something stupid like 240bhp at fly with minimal mods!! i couldnt see how it could make that power so went somewhere else. on APT's rollers it made a much more believeble 186bhp at fly.

well,as i said will try another RR wheres APT?
how do u no 186bhp or so is right or not this could apply to any R/R in the contry?std rst is 132 @like 6psi or so
my broter has a skoda vrs the ONLY mods are air filter,sports cat and remap(progressive boost)243bhp@ fly R/R@ jabba sport.(or not)
my cab sat with my dads 312bhp skyline so sumthings working sumwere.fuck it i love, the car and will do most things on the road!
