Title: Capacity increase?
Post by tve on Feb 22^nd, 2009, 8:15pm

Greetings to all. Prompt as to increase capacity on 2.3. The turbine or a supercharger. Thanks.

Superchipping the ECU may be the cheaper & easier option but I don't think it will give you huge increase in power :)

Can the 2.3 engine & drive actually handle a turbo or supercharger without....as they say....blowing a gasket ? :-/

fit a 2.0 16v diff

Will give you nearly 10% faster acceleration

I've heard about fitting RS2000 camshafts and modded ECU somewhere.

remove the cat internals, that'll give you a few more bhp :)

It is possible more in detail about 2.0 16

Hi,

the 2.0 16v diff has a ratio of 4.27

ie prop shaft turns 4.27 times to turn the rear wheels one complete cycle.

your 2.3 should have a 3.9 diff, prop turns 3.9 times to turn the rear wheels once.

so the 4.27 diff gives a lower gearing through all the gears giving better acceleration.

You will find your engine revs around 10% higher for the same speed than it did with the 3.9 diff and your speedo will read 10% faster unless you change the toothed drive pinion on the VSS for the 4.27 version.

Your mpg will be lower on a motorway run as your engine is revving higher but i think it actually improves the mpg around town as its lower geared.

But its a straight swap, I can do them in around 1-2 hours easily depending on the bolts :)

I've done it on a few 24v's, they have a 3.6 diff so the 4.27 makes a big difference, about 2 secs off the 0-60 time ;)

Highlander...what kind of RPM is a 24v doing fitted with a 4.27diff @ 60mph?? are the 24v saloon and estates same axle ratios??

Title: Re: Capacity increase?
Post by Highlander on Mar 3^rd, 2009, 9:17pm

Yep saloon and estate use the same ratio.

There is some Ford literature out there that says otherwise but its wrong ;)

the RPM sits about 1000 higher with the 4.27 diff on a 24v than it does with the 3.64.

Havent got a note about it at 60 but at 70 the 4.27 will show 3500 instead of 2500 with the standard 3.64
