I cant get it any smaller b****y thing.

Anyone have any idea how much a 1.6 cvh head is because there is only a few mm differants between the 1.4 and the 1.6 engine also how much are cams for the 1.6 and the 1.4 cause i need for accelaration and BHP

 

61bhp standard

unknown with filter

0-40 9.1 only pipercrss filter without cold air feed

 

HOW CAN I IMPROVE THIS?

61bhp?? is that all, my 1.3 is meant to have 60bhp as standard.

 

No point putting a 1.6 head on, just have your existing head flowed and ported, kent cam kit is around £250, add a good exhaust with a de-cat and 4 branch manifold that should give you an extra 25bhp I should think, then spend some cash on having the bottom end lightened and balanced, strip of the injection and fit dcoe´s and you dhould have about 90 - 100 BHP, you will of spent about 1.5 -2 grand on it

 

you could of course get hold of a carbed 1.6 cvh from and xr2/3 for next to nothing, strip it down and re-build it to snandard for an instant 95bhp and have only spent about 3 - 400 quid on it!!

Hahaha I´ve had this arguement hundreds of times!! Technically mine is a MK6, after all the Mk4 is just a Mk3 facelift and we still call that a mk4.

 

Mk1´s, then there was a change to Mk2, then shape change to 3´s, then 4, then they change shape to 5, then change rear and front grill which is shape 6, then change rear bumper and front lights and bonnet which is shape number 7! (Call it 7 on ESP as easier to differentiate)

 

But Ford say Mk1 Mk2 Mk3 Mk4 Mk5 Mk5b Mk6! :rolleyes:

I think you are wrong there zoe, officialy ford only go up to a mk4, the is the mk1 +2 ( the rwd ones) then the mk3, then the mk3 facelift (mark 4) then the mk4 ( mk5) then the mk4 93-95 ( mk5b) Then the mk4 faclift (Mk6)

 

That is what i have been told any way, as to the reality of it i dont know

eh? a mk4 facelift, when have you ever seen a mk4, circa 1986 to 1990 that looks like a mk6 from 1995/6 onwards?????????

The smiley grille Mk5 is just a facelift!!!!!!!! ;( ;(

 

All I said was that if you count up all the Escorts different shpaes/changes, there were 7 different types... :)

 

The Mk4 wasn´t a facelifted version of the mk3 either ?(

 

Different bumpers, front/back lights, dashboard............

 

Could say that about the Mk6, different rear bumper so isn´t a ´facelift´, I mean the Mk4 wasn´t like the Mk1´s and 2´s which were completely different shapes, the Mk4´ just had a few things changed, basically same shape as Mk3.
