1) can i use an old 1800 cvh from a sierra if so what do i have to do?
2) whats the best cam to have?
3) is there a 6speed box that will fit a s2erst?

hopefuly you lot will help me get my rs to where i want it to be!

 

Where do you want your RS to be??

1. Why?
2. That's a difficult one, most aftermarket cams are made from Toffee.
3. No, not without MAJOR fabrication. Again, Why?

 

You from Norfolk?

 

i am mate

 

1) i was told its about cc!
2)what would recomend then?
3)just fancied a 6speed

 

correct me if im wrong but isent the 1800 cvh a rwd so would need a fair bit of fabrication to fit in for starters?

i have no idea about cam pullys

a 6 speed box just means your changing gear alot more than normal so i hope u enjoy using ya left foot rather than your right

hope this helps lol

 

a) Rubbish engine....forget it! Stick with the 1.6CVH unless you want to go 16v Zetec imo

b) Piper 285 or a new standard cam!

c) Forget it

 

what about a 1.9 CVH?

 

a) Stick with the 1.6 or go full Zetec Turbo

b) Either a Kent CVH35 or a Newman

c) Buy a Bernie box www.gearboxman.co.uk and worry no more. 6 speeder is a bit of a non starter.

 

only to the sump and pick up pipe need modded mate,engine mount holes are already there for some reason,not really worth doing for turbo anyway imo,pistons might be a problem too,but for na just slap the head on change the pulleys and bobs your dads brother
briefly had one in my old rs1600i and it was shit anyway

 

thanks lad think im going to stick with the 1600 and do a rebuild! but there are so many things to think about! could anyone tell me whats needed to get around the 180bhp mark? id be happy with that sort of power!

 

Chip
Cam
K&N Filter
Exhaust

and maybe some thing like a pace cooler

 

ive got a pace intercooler but not fitted yet! whats the best chip then? id like a bayjoo one and one of these newmen cams i keep hearing about
