hi im intrested in going further with my escort cossie after getting bored of the stage 3 and not wanting to add silly things on for small gains id rather start a fresh build.thats what i want your advise on.the ideal engine power and spec for an excellent fast road and occasional track day engine??i know that over 500hp will be laggy and useless or so i presume?i recon ive got around 360hp at the moment.ive big brakes and coilovers etc.can i have the details and views on this please?the power limit youd recommend and the best spec.its just a toy but it still has to be sumwhat reliable.and ive got a stronger box and diffs.i was also thinking of adding anti-lag to the next unit so id hopefully get alot less lag.

i think you have a good all round car now by the sound of it.

Can you already outdrive your 360bhp with big brakes and coilovers out on track ? Is even that spec beginning to get boring out on track now ?

Better off looking at a different car if it is IMHO

for all round....u've proberly got a good mix....but more for track imho would mean smallr turbo(less power) and less spool up....but for the road... the world iz ur lobster...!!!!!..it's ur car...so what do u think???? as long as u drive a big power car in the right gear...it's as good on the track/road as any small turbo car.....if it's lagy...change gear

I always thought that the Stage 3 was realistically only 330bhp.

What injectors do you have?

to me stage 3 is t34 and greens...stage 2 is standard turbo and greens...330bhp..that why they dont use light greens any more

baba

its a stage castle performance t34b,low comped,mahle pistons,new rods fresh crank blahedey blah.....greys,26psi,bd 10 and standard cam.i just want a bit more surge like a bit more animal like.i would prefer being a bit scared of the car to be honest.

get it set up to run 31 psi peak 28 held gives you a nice kick in the ass

baba

hi dan p.is that what your is running?what power do you think its making?i was thinking of getting this engine mapped and coil packs fitted at the same time.

Redkop

Mine is set up by Karl @ NMS to the same, but running light blues.

baba

hi redkop and what did you think of it before and efter the remap?was it night and day?what spec is it the same?what power and performance figures should it do?
