Well, here's some pics of my ZVH rst project.

Work done so far include full respray , bigger brakes , 2.0 ZVH turbo engine but still running MFI

Just started to convert to EFI using megasquirt yesterday.

Here's some pics

 

looks pretti kool tha!

they rondels?

 

Very nice ,saw this at landgraaf

 

Took off the head and all the MFI stuff already...

Waiting for the EFI head i'm working on at the moment




So much space over the gearbox... so finally some room for my oilcooler..

 

Borbet's

 

Inletports On the EFI head are ready to go.... Have to find me some time to do the exhaustports this week and order a new gasker and bolts to put the head on .

 

Nice job m8!

 

Thnx

Received the MS kit last week.

The brains...with boostcontrol, launchcontrol an 4 bar mapsensor




Inovate Wideband lambda kit with display..




Nice wiring loom...




boostcontrolvalve, AIT sensor and TPS...




I won't be getting bored the upcoming weeks

 

Nice project Gregor.

 

finally......

It's about time
The space near the gearbox is great!!! I know!!! Plenty of room for a big filter and oil-cooler!
And how are things with the downpipe??

Cheers Berry

 

Wow after all that time a topic hehe. Good luck with the build mate

 

Looks perfect on the Borbet's! Lovely wheel! Really suit the car

 

Hiya mate, wots involved in swapping to efi, and what are the advantages, other than space above the gearbox?

 

all the best with it m8

 

The advantage is you can run far more boost because you have the abitily to put in much more fuel.

Involved is : you need a efi head, injectors, fuel rail, frst/efi or stand alone management, wiring loom adapted, efi inlet, EFI flywheel with cps and some more .... lots of Mfi--> Efi comversion topics here on PF ..

 

Downpipe has yet to be constructed, first alll the headwork and then the downpipe.
Have to work on it anyways because of the fitment of thme lambda sensor..

 

injectors to be used....

380 cc rover injectors





anyone know to what power these can be used??

 

Gregor,

so wots the spec of yours?? what management were you using etc...

also just out of interest, wot gearbox do you use??

thanks

 

Hej,

spec was : 2.0 ZVH with accrelite pistons CR 8:1
standard head with kent 35
MDS chip, k&n, scorpion 2.5"
Samco's, alu rad, cos intercooler
adj cam poulie, -31 acruator.
AP fast road clutch.

New spec: As old but with AP paddle clutch
Megasquirt 1V3 ecu with wide band lambda
2wd cosworth turbo
13 row oil cooler
At home ported and polished efi head.
hopefully a grs intercooler if i ever get it send here,,, :S

Already driving it with a stage 1 box from the gearboxman but wondering how long it wil cope with the increased power..

cheers

 

good topic I'm doing the same thing? ZVH with MS
Will be interesting to read your thread

 

Exhaust side of the head all done now... zo waiting for bolts and gastket to put it on..




Also made some bonnet spacers to help cool the engine... and looks nice as wel

 

What bolts and gasket are you planing to use?
I've used felpro and standard RST head bolts as I was advised to use stretch ones, but to use them I had to machine the head in the place where bolts sit to go deeper by 8 mm

 

I'm Going to use a felpro gasket and cougar stretch bolts wich have to be shortened by about an inch or so.
Had it like this the last 2 years on my mfi ZVH.

 

Hm, never heard of that way, but should be OK

By the way did you study MS wiring already?

 

@ maki.

The wiring for the MS isnt that difficult mate. They are al marked.

 

It's not that simple when you have no marked wire harnes I'm making it from old EFI loom and I'm using no relay board
And at the moment I'm stuck with fidle valve so was wondering maybe Gregor has thought about it already.

 

Ah ok. Why didn't you bought the MS loom then? it isnt that expensive.

 

This way thinking I should have bought cossie and get everything sorted in one package ... but that wasn't the point if you know what I mean

 

I bought the MS loom so its all marked....

 

What fidle valve are you gonna use?

 

i'll use the 2i valve....

 

Did some work again...

reground the valves/valveseats, put on new valvestemseals, put on the springs+valves,cam, thermostathousing and adj pulley.





Weird thing is the cam looks a littte off-set... but seems to have ran like this the whole time so shouldn't be a problem.

Got the bolts for the head and some other gaskets and nuts from the ford dealer.
Now waiting for the headgasket from burton so all can go on the bottom end

 

It is like that for one simple reason, this way lifters rotate all the time and don't wear in one place

 

 

Reason why i asked is because with my old mfi head with kent 35 cam the lobes were about in the middle of the follower holes so recconed it should be like that...... but learned something again..

 

greggie, wel done mate when wil it be finest..??

keep up the good work

 

looking good

 

Worked on the ports off the inlet manifold to match the head and placed it on the head together with e fuelrail and injectors ....

 

Is this car still not finished


















Nice work. Now get that thing runnig

 

While waiting for the headgastket , started to renew the brakelines as something wasn't right in the lines that were there.... the brakes didn't respond verry well so all new lines in there with a wilwood brake bias valve for the rear..

some pics..









When the cos brakes are reconditioned they're coming back on with the braided hodes
