Im not in anyway slating the ZVH. In many ways it is better for some people. It looks more original and many of the original CVH parts can be retained. Im just saying not to expect massive power from it although im sure some people have done this successfully with the 2.0 bottom end.
Thanks for the reply mate!
I saw a na 2ltr zvh in fastford make 176 bhp on cam, 4 branchen and itbs, and headwork .. thats pretty solid, no idear if it was at the fly tho, it was just stated as "BHP"
Tbh i startede to think about either paying the money and progress with a zvh turbo in the long run. They easy run 200+ bhp and that will be pretty damn fast in a 850kg car
On the other side i love the sounds of carbs/itbs,(never heard a zvh tho) and i can tune my cvh efi in n/a form and eventually progressive to a full 2.1 zvh n/a at a later stage, and reuse the 4 branch, cam, carbs and megajolt.
People are telling me itbs/carbs sucks for daily drivning tho?
