How much bhp increase??

[Rob_GTi]

Ive got a standard Escort 1.8 GTi, is there standard bhp 115?

 

if so how much bhp increase will i get by fitting a cat back powerflow system and a pipercross induction which ive just purchased but not fitted?

anything between 0bhp and about 10bhp. Zetec engines are amazing in the fact that they all seem different. some gain 3bhp from mods u list were as Paul's gained 7bhp alone from just a K&N

[Rob_GTi]

fair enough, wer talkin minimul increase. cheers for the info

[Trig]

for the money you have spent it probably wont be a bad increase.

 

mine felt alot better after fitting an induction kit and backbox and its only a 1.6.

[geordie_aaron]

i wouldn't say 7bhp was minimal on a N/A engine

really?

well in that case i feel its time to tell you i love you,

and how much would a bog standard 1.8 gain

[foxdie]

The GTi is 113bhp (115ps)

 

it'll make no difference to the actual performance of the car. you might make a up 10bhp and be very noisey, but it'll be micky mouse power increase. Best thing you can do, and get best £ per Brake, is NOS. Otherwise your just thowing away your money on mods like exhausts and airfilters.

 

If you want proper increase in performance think outside maxpower box for sec. Decent set of cams, gas flowed head, bored out throttle body panel, proper 4-2-1 manifold, filter & drilled box and proper fully dyno tunable chip (none of this superchips balls). All that and you should see around 135 maybe 140 on a decent engine and cool day.

[sortedford]

it should take your car to 130ps

so dependant on your engine being a 105 or a 115 15-25ps

its accually a bigger head too foxdie

bigger throttle bodie etc...

i thought the 130ps xr3i did it in 8.8 sec. thats wot it says in fast ford. if u got a car with more power and torque (in this case) and everything else standard, surely it will be quicker no?
