Hello, thank you for the membership! I am from Denmark, I have a escort mk2 with a 108 bhp 2,1 pinto engine. I have owned the car in about one month, and now I want to se if I can get 180-190 bhp out of the engine. So I ther will be a lot of questions from me in the future, and Im looking forward to learn a lot.

interesting post, 108bhp isnt much but 180-190 is a lot!
yes 180-190 is a lot. I have ordered a burton stage 3 head, and 45 mm weber dcoes. And Im thinking about what cam and manifold I should use to reach my goal....
Do you think it is impossible ?
no but it needs building right, dont use a short inlet manifold, an rl31 cam and 11:1 compression should get you over 175 maybe even in the 190's on 38 chokes, that all depends on how well the head actually works.
step up to an HT1 cam and yes you should make your target, but you wont have any power below 4k.
whats the engines intended use? road, race, rally?
Thanks for your answer. I would like to use the car for road, trackday and hillclimbs. and yes I know that im not building a everyday roadcar....
I just ordered a weber dcoe kit from burton racing. I dont know if its short or long inlet........ I belive that they only have one lenght...
It will probably be long, but there are various length manifolds available
Ok thank you. I really appreciate your input and help. I maybe ask some stupid questions sometime ,but I like to learn.... Do you also sell parts , or ?
i run a car repair business as well as building engines and doing dyno testing but i dont sell parts on there own.
Did you buy this?

It is a normal length manifold, not short. The short ones are meant for kitcar use only because of the space needed.
Yes I bought this one. Thank you wery much. Now I know that I got the right part.
welcome
