ive got a 2.0 ghia focus totally standard and want about 170 bhp out of it what do i need to do to get that.

 

st 170 engine should do it.

 

I've got an ST170 and I wouldn't say it would be worth the difference in performance going to all that trouble.

My advice would be to save the cash and buy a quicker car when you can afford it instead of ploughing money into something that isn't going to get much quicker.

Just my opinion.

 

You still got that RS Turbo mate? Never seen you on here before! Your not that far from me either

 

get a k/n filter,decat,chip

 

aye mate still got her. where about you from im hardly on here nowadays.

im just looking for a wee bit more power for my everyday car and spend my cash on my escort

 

Im from Kilmarnock. My bird stays in Auchinleck though and some mates. Car looks nice from the resto page, how is it gettin on?

 

same aas you see i havent had time to do much to her recently cant wait to get it finished

 

I took mine off the road then ended up selling it. Wish i never did now

 

Focus RS engine would do the trick.Is your car nippy as it is now.

 

Supercharger

 

Weight saving!
Rip out all your interior. Stop eating pies. Ditch the spare.. etc..etc..

100% free upgrade to your BHP/Ton figure.

st170 exhuast, manifold and cat for a start.
also fit the st170 air feed(snorkel) and box along with a bluefin and you'll have a nice motor with around 150bhp and 150ft lbs of torque.
maybe even see more if you tweak the bluefin using RR data as they will adjust your map to suit for free if you give them sufficient info
to actually see a proper 170bhp i think you'd be talking cams and flowed head etc

 

cheers mate that the sort of power i want the now its standard and no to bad i can keep up with mk3 gsi astras but need that extra power,

Need the interior as we have a wee one coming and i like pies to much!!!

 

forgot to ask is that the standard st170 exhaust and is the snorkel the thing that goes under the battery to feed air to the box

 

Yes the snorkel is an enlarged air feed, some say the 2.0 auto snorkel soes the same?

With the ST mailfold, exhaust, airbox 140 is a more realistic bhp. After that a chip.

Spend a couple of hundred on some good brakes, some ebiech (bad spelling) springs. BHP isn't everything.

 

Sell it and buy an st170, you've then got a car with better brakes, better suspension, better anti roll bars, a better interior, oh and it's also got the 170bhp you want
