Title: Tuning 24v
Post by conoflex on Nov 18^th, 2005, 5:36pm

Hi all,
Anyone know a good garage in South Wales around Cardiff/Swansea area for tuning a 24v scorp.

When you say tuning what kind of extra power you thinking of 50, 100, 200. 300+ :o ?

well i wasn't really, just a run o' mill crypton tuning etc, as it has started running lumpy around 30 mph when the engine is cold. It had a full service about 3 weeks ago but i was told the plugs etc were fine so they didn't change em, and was wondering if doing a tune could find out if anything was wrong with it.

Oh :-X

O.K first thing I would do is get the car scanned to see if any fault codes come up, maybe a sensor is playig up?
Maybe some kind soul on here near you can do it for you ;)

As we are nearing completion of my own 24v rebuild, I would also be looking for a similar kind soul to come and scan my car for error codes. Car is currently in Luton Bedfordshire, but I live just outside Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire,...anyone available with the necessary equipment in those areas?

What would be a good way to go to get an extra 100bhp from the 24v without going turbo boosted?

An extra 100Bhp??? ;D

When I started driving the car of the moment was the Escort RS2000 which pushed out the grand total of 100Bhp... How times change ;D

DJ with out boost mate the only route to 100 extra horses is extra capacity & I guess you don't want to rebuild your engine just yet ;D
A maxed out 2.9 block to 3657 cc with extra little tweaks will just give you 100 bhp extra at a push.
Only other way is laughing gas but people have there own views on it. You either like it or you don't }{

Thinking about it you would get close to 100 bhp if you could up the revs, you would need a girdle & a new E.C.U system thow & some porting:(
Engine was used in touring cars & they got 300 bhp out of it as a 2.9?

Want more bhp from your Cossie? Take a look at this:

Its a shame they had to de-tune it and so much more fun if they hadn't.

Hmm well Top boss only really do the Mk3 engine & the write up at the start is a bit of hype but have produced some good engines for people.
Have had mixed recomendations from people as it appears some times they cut corners.
