So whats the best route to go down?
1.6 CVH MFI
1.6 CVH EFI
1.6 CVH on Cossie Management
ZVH?
ZT?
I'd be looking for something with a reliable 250BHP for now probably and I think a full zetec turbo would be overkill for what I'd want. What would the best route to take bearing in mind I'd idealy want to cut cost a little and use my turbo as its got no play in the shaft etc.
1.6 CVH MFI --> Good when it works, but getting old and often unreliable.
1.6 CVH EFI ---> Good system but not many people can live map it
1.6 CVH Cossie Management ---> Great system with a lot of knowledge and experience behind it, reliable and well tested.
ZVH ---> Take of a decent flowing 16v head and do machining to enable fitment of a inferior 8v head (tuners love it, makes them lots of money)
ZT ---> A Great Engine, but takes big money to make the most of it. (I would not run your turbo on it) it would also need after market management to make the most from the engine
