Hellooooooo sorry just seen this!

Brakes are a must

Come on Andew where are you?



Definitely need these and full suspension i.e. Bilstein B12's were great!
I had 328bhp with Cossie spec cams and a big bore milltek exhaust!
If you want to keep you Mountune cams you'll be good for 260bhp but Ben who had his 185 SC'd he had to have them out for more power!
Being SC'd is awesome. I wish I still had my fez as a second car!

Enjoy!

If i'm only going for around 250bhp (at the moment) then there is no need to go up to the 2.5 kit? Perhaps upgrade the SC belt once I have more work done on the engine.

Any ideas what power and boost the 2 kit runs?

Mine ran 10psi to 12psi I think?
They only really fit 2.5 kits so they will talk you into the benefits of one of them!
If I won the lottery I would actually buy back my old car and rebuild it as they are good fun lol

Have you not thought about MR200 then supercharging/Turbo'ing it?

yeah I've had a look at it but its not a big enough boost in power for the money. Are Mountune fitting the kits at their garage still?

Fair enough a little supercharger will scratch your itch!
Yeah

Did you have any gearbox problems on yours running that sort of power?

No as long as you're not silly and drop down to 2nd when you wanna overtake you'll be fine!
Stay in 5th when supercharged! You don't even need to change down lol. If anything you need a 6th gear!

personally i'd wait until Jam sport bring out their refined Turbo package for the fiesta, in my opinion it could well be better then the traditional supercharger.

yup 250 in the fiesta is certainly quick, turbo's are a lot more flexible with other modifications as well.

2.3 turbo..... now that sounds good..

surprised that there isn't an option for using the VCT on the 2.3 engine or at least being able to do so with an aftermarket controller... would certainly make some more N/a Power
