NC Turbo
 

Hello , im in the very early stages of planning & purchaseing components to turbo charge my Mk3 nc 1800cc for racing purposes.
The spech is going to be based around a 9.2:1 comp ratio motor , using external waste gate actuation, forged internals , MS2 ems & have a target out put of around 300 bhp/320lb/ft .
Relativly conservative .
Im realy intrested to see whats been going off " state side" with the Mk3 as we call them in England.
I see Begi do something off the shelf but it dosent suit my RHD situation.
At the end of the day its just a ford duratec lump & ive seen them forced induced to great effect.
Cant be that difficult.:idea:
Im very curious to hear about your experiences and wonder what the achilies heal of this engine type may have become apparent.
Personaly i think its a crying shame that the Cosworth super charger kits were released .
It seems to of created abit of inertia to FI"ing the nc as quite a few of them failed. Certainly in the UK anyway.

I do not know that much about NC, but for an ECU I would go with an MS3X over the MS2.

The NC has VVT. I'd expect MS3X to be a given between the two.

i was under the impression the mzr in the nc was direct injection
if so ms can't control di

Thanks for the response chaps,
I think the MS2 has all the features i need for racing,however i had a MS3x equipped car in the workshop yesterday & can appriciate what your saying. Cops , sequential ,etc.
Im actualy running "microsuirt with a Bosch/Aud external amp to run my Cops.

Only the 2.0ltr version of the NC is VVT in the UK, mines a humble little 1.8.

I belive the very latest MX5 is going to be direct gasoline injection & possibly featuring the very exciting 14: 1 compression type engine with stop/ start tech , but isnt available in the UK right now.
On that note , i wonder when stand alone ECU"s for controlling DI will be with us ?
Been looking at the simular post at the bottom of the page.
Just what i was looking for. That Good-Win 2.3 turbo car looks the dogs bollox.
