Looking at options for some more power.
Current setup is 2lt Zetec Blacktop with bike carbs and Megajolt .
Megajolt map and carbs were set up for a 1.8Ltr Zetec.
Looking at St170 engine swap with the new chip option to control the VVT for full range control rather the switch a set revs.
Or some work on my engine .... Cams etc
Looking for some feedback and costs involved ...

Hi Jim
I had the same quandary a couple of years ago
when I looked into the ST170 option it became too costly there's the cost of the engine itself refitting it
the ST170 is a blacktop with VVTI
as apposed to the set up I went for
2Lt blacktop Kawasaki ZXSR650 bike carbs with Megajolt 285 Piper cams and stage three gas-flow head this is now producing 205BHP or 174BHP at the wheels with 380pf torque all told £1200 for head £350 for the cams £650 for the carbs
A ST170 will give you l55BHP to 164BHP at the fly unless you spend some more dosh.
Hope this helps
Trev.

Instead of an ST 170 engine have you not thought about a MK1 Focus RS engine from a crashed car? With a
stage 2 MAP and a Nortec manifold you'll see +330bhp and lots of turbo fun.
If I'd not had a Toyota 4 AGE engine in the car I bought that's the route I'd be going, and may still do.
