hi all,i got me series 2 zvh in for a setup and power run on sat and was woundering if people have a idea what power i should expect to see.it is a 2.0 bottom end with pistons skimmed,standard head,2wd cossie t3 turbo,piper 285t cam,full stainless system,-31 ,full front mount intercooler,chipped ecu and k,n panel filter,cheers adam

 

170 ATW

 

If you can get the fuel into it if its still mfi!!!!

 

yeah its still mfi for now.at what boost would i be at to get 170, i know this is all approx but it just to get me an idea of what to expect it to be.im not goin for big power,would like to be around 200 at some point so what do people recomened i need next to bring it to around that bhp,a decent head maybe?

 

170 @ the wheels will be around 200 @ fly

The MFI should be ok with the fueling at this stage.

16 psi should see this power

 

well had the car in today for the set up and power run and it made 170bhp at the wheels at 10psi.does that sound ok,he was going to run it at 15 but he said the injectors were leaking causing it not to run as it should.he said they werent misting as they should so left it at 10psi for now untill they get changed,does that sound right to you.cheers adam

 

alright mate what sort of intake temps was you getting

thanks

 

all he said was that there wasnt any problems with any high acts but didnt say what it was exactly.i took it to well lane turbos he did a great job with it,hope to get the boost up to 14-15psi when i sort out the injector problem. does 170 sound about right for 10psi. also does anyone know the best place to get a stage 2 or 3 head and how much they are going to cost,cheers

 

try jam sport or nws as for cost not to sure £400-500 big valve ported with cam

 

with skimmed pistons? i thourght 1 bar of boost was all you could run with pistons like this

 

im hoping to get the pistons changed in the next month or two.any one got any recomendations to what pistons are best,it will stay a 2.0 not a 2.1.So what is the maximum psi i can run safely at the mo,is 14psi ok.cheers

 

1 BAR = 14.5 PSi

1.5 PSI isnt going to kill it if he gets it set up and has sufficient fuel getting into the engine

 

a well set up engine will be fine,i was just thinking of piston strengh,i thourght 1 bar was the safe max

 

had my 2l zvh set up at well lane few months ago it made 208bhp @ 11psi, with a chip, air filter, charge cooler, exhaust, 285t2 cam with vernier and standard turbo and actuator, he did say that the turbo will let go shortly thou and it has along with the standard clutch

 

that made good power,i took mine to be set up aswell as it was running really bad like having a missfire and not reving past 3 grand.he did manage to sort the problem but said there problems with my injectors leaking,would this cause my power to be down.also is urs still on mfi or is it running efi.

 

Wul yong off of here took his 2.1 ZVH to AVA and all they could get out of it it was 180 @ the wheels (not 100% but within 10 bhp of this figure) as they couldnt get anymore fuel out of the MFI system

It all comes down to the rolling road as some recommend them and others dont.

You could make 210 at one and 180 at another

Who do you believe

If your after a check up to see the cars running perfect then its ideal, the power bit is alright if you keep going back to the same rolling road if you have modified the car to check the differences in the parts.

 

mines still running mfi, only i bought new injectors last year when i had my previous engine set up as he said there were leaking and could cause problems,

 

anyone know where to get some new injectors at a decent price then as it looks as tho im going to need to try them,cheers

 

got mine from andrew page cost about 90ish quid, although i have seen the odd set on ebay
