Hello all,

i know before everybody gets on the bandwagon and says go 2.0ltr i am just going to say i wont to learn about the 1.6 Cvh and just generally learn about engines,

I am looking to rebuild this engine but @ the same time i am going to be tuning it,

I have looked into a few parts to purchase for the rebulid/tuning and this is what i have come up with

Kent cam or Piper Cam (Whats better?)
Vernier Pulley
bigger injectors (Which 1's to go for?)
skimmed head
Port and polished head
Power Boost Valve? (is this wise?)
Bigger Air filter

well thats all that i have come up with so far but was posting this as i am sure some people have played around with this engine before and they could help with pointing me in the right direction

Cheers

Will need a lot of work doing to reach that power levels and will be very expensive.
Far cheaper to drop in a zetec.

 

You can tune the 1.6 CVH to give about 130bhp after this point it all get expensive. If you want to go with a Zetec go straight in for the 2.0 as there is minimal benefit in dropping the 1.8 in

 

wild cams, higher comp, alot of porting and polishing and alot of £££ later, you might get the bhp your after

150 for a 2L engine plus a few other zetec bits and you need. 130bhp straight away
