You will not do 230bhp on a chip if you ask me. You need management and live mapping.

Its achieveable if you throw alot more money on modifying but as Christian said, management is the way forward for power & reliability

You can have 260 or even 300bhp but how long do you think the accuracy of the metering head will be? device that was designed to take less than 11psi and you will need to be using
23-25psi or thereabouts! better to run a safe 18 psi and be happy with near to 200bhp and then get the car indo managed when funds allow.

cheers for telling me that useless info that i already knew,but it said u will not do 230 on std management with a chip,which is bollox

i was runnin 214@wheels,well above 230 flywheel fig with 17psi of boost,why u would need to run 23-25psi is beyond me

my car is running 227bhp on standard injection and its given the same ish power figure on a few rolling roads, all i've done is use a ahmed chip, hybrid turbo and a chargecooler and its at 22psi

I had a 1900 american tall block, cosworth fuel pump, stage 3 big valve head by chd, kent cvh 35cam, unlimited boost chip (which is pretty much what they all do) drilled airbox, stage 3 turbo with cossy compressor wheel by cr turbos, 14psi of boost, got it set up by msd and they reconed it was leaning off at about 190bhp, they dropped the boost down to 14psi and they advised it was pushing a strong 180bhp. Some metering heads will flow the fuel but I wouldnt advise it imo, get gotech mfi on it with the injector manifold from jam and you could hit that bhp figure with no hedaches

hope that helps matey

Cheapest/easiest option is to fit a 5th injector, this will take a lot of the strain off the metering unit and give you a small amount of fuel mapping control.
ie: Metering unit fuels for up to say 12psi (random figure) and then 5th injector provides mapable fuelling for anything over that.

hhhhm ok,my cars:-88 spec mfi
stage 1 genuine superchipped
s/s turbo oil feed
k&n induction kit
-31 actuator
2.5 inch exhaust
bailey dump valve

i estimate that the car runs a good strong 170bhp.the turbo spools up at just over 2k and pulls strong through the rev range without any problems.i have purchased a sytec mini bullet fuel filter and a bosch 0542 fuel pump but not yet fitted as am on a long time project.i would suggest gotech mfi from jamsport with the mf2 injector if you realistically want 2 run over 200bhp as mfi is sh*t!mine starts like a bag of shit when cold.but once warm is lovely.although a cheaper mod is magnecpr leads,grp a coil and a good set of plugs,if u want reliable.spend the money and get management,thats what im going to do.
good luck everyone

Its embarrassing owning a Fast Ford sometimes..being tarred with the same brush as you lot..
Around 10psi ??????????

Going by previous threads you only either need to run 10psi or get it chipped and run 10psi to get 180 - 200bhp on a standard car.

Pmsl at some of the bhp figures bein banded about in this thread! I don't need to start an argument with anyone about their figures, all i'll say is ain't quite as easy as all that to get 'genuine' figures, 200bhp ain't just a chip and boost hike away! Soo many of these false/misguided claims are the reasons rst's get renowned for being slow beantins!

i agree.200bhp in an RST is not an easy task,but its quite achievable.i wanted to get 230bhp from mine with similar torque.after chatting to a motorsport/rally guy where i buy my parts,he reckoned the fastest ones he ever went in were around 200bhp.he said he used to have a customer,who had a lovely rs @ 200bhp,came in one day,said wanted 240bhp money no object,and after he put all the parts on he hated it.torquesteer all the time and wheelspininng to shit.so im going to get to 200bhp and go from there.

IMO for reliable 200bhp u need:-

chip,ind kit,exhaust system,-31 actuator,uprated head gasket,cam.15-16psi an that may only get u 2 190-195 bhp and thats without the things u 4get,like new brakes 2 stop u,better suspension to handle the power,and your clutch/gearbox wont last long.your gonna be straining your conrods and pistons after 220 so if ur batterin it all the time its not gonna last.
and that little lot above will set u back bout 3k an i no il have forgot loadsa things.just to point out to all the people claiming silly figures with fuck all on their car.at least ive got most of the above to achieve my 200bhp lol
