Hi all, i know u may have heard this a million times before, and no doubt are sick to the back teeth of hearing this but im new so bare with me. Im looking to start building a ZVH lump, but need a dvice on which parts to go for and where to go about getting them. I Have an idea of what i want but interested in your views and experiences?

Utilising a 2.0 Mondeo Block and crank the parts i was considering are as follows:

Accriltie ZVH Pistons (Burton Power)
Farndon H Section Steel Rods (burton Power)
Escort 1.8 Zetec Sump
CVH Water Pump Adaptor Plate
Felpro Headgasket
ARP Rod end Bolts

Cheers for the advice all

 

some good info on here

http://www.quantums.info/zvh.htm

 

anyway why not go full zetec cost about the same but zetec as alot more power potencial

 

to be honest mate, haven't really looked into full zetec turbo. What kind of power can u get with the right engine managementt?

cheers mate

 

350 bhp max for zvh

500 bhp for zetec

but depends on how far you gonna go will cost the same to get 350 out of the zvh as 500 bhp for the zetec

check this site for zetec turbo

http://www.zetec-turbo.co.uk/

if your just after a cheap bit of extra power then just go zvh imo

 

what power you after ???

 

minimum 300bhp. anything more is a bonus really

 

go full zetec, It'll be reliable and the engine wont be pushed


Use steel rods though, as standard are pushed when they go about 250bhp

 

cheers for the advice. i had budgeted for steel rods anyway so cheers for that. what will i need to make a zetec conversion then?
