BaileyMex Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Just out of curiosity, what would a standard YB lump have power wise out of the box with no Mods? a low compression turbo spec YB without a turbo would be crap , you have to change the cams , pistons and port the head Quite possibly, but I was just curious what Ford's BHP figures would have been for say standard Escort Cossie or Sierra Cossie

Guest MK1gaz Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 The YB head porting is cheaper than buying a conversion kit to fit a duratec into an Escort This is a thread about Cosworths... so when loosing dont bring up the Duratec versus Cossie argument .. Bailey mex... i may be wrong but i've heard around 120 -140 odd.. maybe WPE would know.. What exactly am i losing then . i know all about atmo cossies because I'VE GOT ONE and you HAVEN'T
