what power is the head and block good for before you need to pull it to bits for head work cam pistons rods ect ,ive got one its going in a fiesta on gotech and a t34 thanks

 

I was told 280bhp?

 

dont these have steel rods standerd???

 

Taken from my reply in main message area

I've got one of the tuned SCC tuned FRS and mine is currently running 386bhp on a SCC spec gt28 turbo setup and custom Mike Gurney autronic sm4 ecu setup / map

However this power is right on the limit for the standard engines pistons rods, etc - to push past 400 safely you will need very good quality uprated pistons, rods as well as headwork, improved inlet manifold, etc - i would suggest Ian Howell for any headwork or custom inlet manifold - the bottom end however shouldnt require any work though - ideally cams should be uprated as part of the original batch of mods

 

thank you that what i wanted to here,ive been offerd a low mileage engine for my fiesta

 

Deffo a good engine and well capable of good power Alongside any custom mapping/management you have just make sure there is a quality fuel pump setup on there so the cars not running lean, as that was my first problem when pushing past 350 originally

 

ive got a uprated escort cossie on at the min not sure if it will do 350 need to talk to jamie @jamsport he does my mapping .do you need any head work or differant injectors for 350 many thanks

 

The head on mine is still standard from factory although Ian Howell will be working his magic when i go for more power this year.

Rob @ SCC fitted 750cc injectors on mine to cope with the power - apparantly good for over 400 too

hi mate i read your post what does the car run like on gotech when driving the car normally thanks

 

really nice off boost in any gear at any speed and good on fuel but if you put the boot down you can see the needle go down
