Hi mates, i know this have been discussed a 100 times before, as i read everything there is to read on the net, but im still curious


Im converting my 1.6 cvh xr3i EFi to zvh one of these days. Im pretty set on doing it NA, since turboing it will cost around over 1000 in legal permits alone (I live in Denmark), and i cant get it motted with a full zetec under the hood.

So i got 2 questions:

What is the BHP potiental in a 2.0 zvh? I was considering running somekind of faster cam with solid lifter, 4 branch manifold and throttlebodies of a motorbike, or maybe bike carbs.

How high can you rev on of these and can you get around 160-170 bhp without getting a ridicolous shitty car in the low revs?

Also, can you run bike carbs and the edis or alone, or should i go for ITB and spend some money on a standalone ECU ?
