i have a standard series 2 escort 1990 i want to go FASTER i have 1500 to spend i also have just purchased a t3 hybrid roller bearing turbo stage 3 anyone any ideas what would be good and reliable

 

Whats done to it now?

With your £1500 you want to look at the following areas

Front mount IC
Performance exhaust system
Turbo (which you already have)
Chip
A set up with a reputable tuner (often overlooked after fitting upgrades)

You may also be able to afford some head work or buy an uprated head.

 

have a stainless exh looking at a stage 3 head just now what sort of chip cheers

 

Well the chips on these cars don't really do a fantastic amount because its only on the ignition side of things so there isn't a great deal of difference. however if i were to recommend anyone to you to get a chip from it would have to be either Stu @ MSD or Christian @ APT (both traders on here)

A stage 3 head isn't really going to see you any benefits unless you're going to be running high boost levels and really have a turbo worthy of it.

A front mount really is your next best step and is probably some of the best money you could ever spend.

 

ok thanks mate cheers what about a 2.0 zetec turbo there one for sale could i just drop that in get it remapped at a place like ava in glasgow

 

i like your "drop it in" thoughts

Has it crossed your mind what management you would run a zetec turbo off??

 

a was going to leave that up the mapper mate ava in glasgow mate what sort of managment is best

 

well yea but what i mean is.......if you buy a zetec turbo you can't run that off the the MFI you have now.

You would need EFI and unless it comes with everything its going to get expensive!
