I sent my cylinder head to Devils to get it ported. But on the return delivery UPS lost the head between there depot at Newhaven and there depot near Birmingham.
I then bought a new cylinder head from Devils which had been ported, larger valves and piper cams.
Been one horror story to the next with my build but I’m nearly there now.
In hindsight if I was to do it all again, I’d have gave it to the professional’s at Devils to start with and I wouldn’t have over boosted the original finished build or lost the original cylinder head.                                                Been a costly learning curve.

Out of interest what is the rebuild costs for Devils? Mine is still under ford warranty for another 2 year but from what I hear you would be lucky if they fix it properly if it goes bang.

@nateodog

Which rods and pistons do you have in your setup ?

[white-rs2]

@Brian C

what size overbore on the stroked 2ltr as the size could be 2310cc upto using a +90 almost 2400cc

RS Edition.

The rest of the “M” maps suck

I went down the road of the Mountune parts NOT because their Mountune but they are Carrillo and Mahle.

If their good enough for Ferrari their good enough for a Focus.

Plus they have a slight mod to the factory Carrillo rods with an increased pin diameter from 22.5 to 23 which allows it to run a bit more power than the standard Carrillo rods from around 180 per cylinder to 200bhp per cylinder

To be honest I haven’t had the final bill from Devils as they still have the car and I don’t  even want to know how much I’ve spent so far. Ive wasted a lot of money doing it myself to start with though.
I would need to find out what size piston’s Devils used. They mailed me at the start of the week to say they were now running it in and they had used a 2 litre bottom end for strength and peace of mind plus they said they fitted oversized pistons.
Once I collect it I’ll ask what they used in more detail and I’ll be able to calculate the exact cost of the build.

 

[Brian C]

I take it FJRS are much the same as Devil Developments? I hadn’t heard of them but had a look on the webpage and they seem a big outfit.

[Matt. B]

FJRS took over the mountune workshop so I believe. Mines having the mountune forged option but like white rs2 says they are carrillo and mahle parts.

I bet you won’t get much change from £3000/£4000 maybe more

[robroy]

Devils are £3900 , hendy performance £3998 but I would have to get the deck brace , another £300 I think

This is for the same rods and pistons mahle and bridgeway rods on both quotes

[robroy]

I have decided to go with Hendy performance , cost a bit more but they always have given me good customer service get a courtesy car too.

All parts ordered
