Guest murcus Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 there are a few you could use, e.g mondeo 2.0, or possibly the v6, or granada one ive never actually looked at the v6, but the 2.0 does fit with very little modding are you running n/a zvh or turbo?

Guest murcus Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 as n/a aint forced induction, its better to port the inlet manifold aswell, in order to fit the mondeo throttle body, i think all you need to modify if i remember correctly, is the arm to the other side, so that the throttle cable can connect is it a std cam? if so i'd consider changing it for the ultimate road 285 id also stick in some mondeo injectors, along with the throttle body, then adjust the standard fuel regulator just to increase the presure but just keep the std ford springs , you dont need the double valve springs , fords are strong enought to cope with 8000rpm also check ebay for a cheap bluefin, i paid around 100 a few years back for mine, what gearbox are you using?

Guest benny Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 its got the best kent cam init you could with out it cuttin out, its had some 5th injector work done at msd in blackpool and iv e still got the original 1.6 box, im not sure what injectors are init, im presuming its still a 1.6 head, the guy that built it at road and ralley told me nothing, its like a big secret and im not allowed to know! i do know its 150 bhp and i think thats pretty crap for a 2.1 with a cam, k+n and full system! oh and whats a bluefin? im feelin a little dumb now! lol cheers for all your help, really apriacate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ady Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i allways like the noise twin 40s make but not sure u will get them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest murcus Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 40's or 45's would go but that would mean ditching the efi and getting a manifold and fuel pump but instead you could get throttle boddies, but it all depends on how much you want to spend, the bluefin, is the superchip, but it installs on the side of the ecu, you unscrew the plate off the side, disconnect the battery, plug it in, reconnect battery, job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benny Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 its mfi injection though? didnt think they had a ecu of such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest murcus Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 its mfi injection though? didnt think they had a ecu of such nope, this cant be chipped, i thought you had efi you can still change the manifold etc, i would be looking at swapping to carbs that would be the easiest option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benny Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 exhaust manifold or inlet? if its exhaust already got a magnex one on, does all the other advice still apply ei changing the injectors and stuff even though its mfi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eggsy Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 dont think you can change them benny, thats probably why you've had 5th injector work done for the extra fuel, the way forward from here m8 is twin 40/45's or an efi coversion I reckon, either way - I reckon it'll be costly, but reckon you'd be better off woth carbs??

Guest murcus Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 for the efi you would need to drill a hole in the block to fit crank sensor, change the loom and a few sensors, along with inlet etc where as if you go for carbs, id prob go 45's since you have the bigger bottom end, all you need is fuel pump with regulator , manifold and twin 40's - 45's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benny Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 i had a set of 40's once and the manifold, but a mechanic that builds race engines told me i'd properly gain nothing by sticking them on, he even offered to fit them! so i sold them lol r1 throttle bodies? hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest murcus Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 you could do that aswell, but you would have to drill out the jets a bit to get the correct fuelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest murcus Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 or you could just use a decompression plate, change the manifold to turbo, put on a t2 of fiesta turbo add an oil cooler, a small intercooler and then you have turbo running low boost you shouldnt melt or pop anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benny Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 all food for though, not really a fan of turbos, like normally asperated power cheers for all you help bud, gonna go with a 2l mondeo throttle body get it set up and see what money i got shame the mfi is so restricting!

Guest murcus Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 turbo is the way forward, its cheap power, n/a is ok, but from the grin a turbo will give you , also help to challenge the speedo vs revcounter to see which one gets around quickest and you can double your power for not alot of coin!

Guest benny Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 wouldnt fuelling be an issue though with it only being an mfi? really need to remove that rev limiter too, wheres the spring on the dizzy? its hitting the red line before full power deleviery, thats what the rollin road guy said, and its hits the rev limiter before it its top end! its now fun bouncing of the limiter at cough cough!
