Naylor2006 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Car looks nice. I've always had a soft spot for those wheels, especially on rs turbos. I think at best the chip may give you a couple of horsepower more, but the induction kit may be losing that power, so probably sitting around standard power with that low mileage engine. it was the folk im buying it off of that said it has 150bhp, i shall be getting it on the rollers to see for myself when it comes home, either way im just chuffed to bits i own it . . . Firstly, welcome to evo, nice to see a new joiner when everyone's moaning about lack of interest here. Touching on what stu has said though, I have learnt recently that in order to get 20hp extra your gonna need carbs or throttle bodies which are well expensive so if it's been done by a super chip then I want that super chip too! Anyways, welcome and lovely motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defcon2 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Car looks good mate, and if the mileage is right thats a rare find! Defo bang the RS2k wheels on though, they look the part. Here's my XR very nice xr you have there, i love this model in blue, its smart as . . . as for the wheels . . . rs2k wheels do look imense, but almost everyone puts 5 spokers on their escorts, i really want to try something different . . . but not ruin the look of the car . . . still un sure what direction to take it in . . .

Are you serial? Lol My first tip, having just bought a new scort would be to take lots of things apart and put back together again to try and learn the car! And tell me what power you are actually running and what the superchip has given you please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottg17 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Looks Really Tidy! resistor chips don't work tho, All they do is fool the engine management to make the fuel air mix richer Edited August 10, 2011 by scottg17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naylor2006 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Looks Really Tidy! resistor chips don't work tho, All they do is fool the engine management to make the fuel air mix richer I almost feel bad moaning about this but a chip isn't going to give 20hp even with the other mods, ive taken so much abuse for thinking i could screw more horses out of my 1.6 zetec I cant let a 20hp chip slip through. Anyway, fk all that, any more progress, we need more PICS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If you ever want to sell that rubber K&N pipe going from the throttle body to maf/air filter, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Si Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I had one of those, when I removed the k&n and fitted an airbox I think I banned it! Will have a look though. Car looks cool by the way, those wheels are kinda growing on me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I had one of those, when I removed the k&n and fitted an airbox I think I banned it! Will have a look though. Thanks, it has to be the 130ps version though, not 105/115 - they're different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
