HAVE YOU GOT 400BHP cvh

 

they can make 400 bhp

 

anything is possible depending on how deep your pockets are

 

I think NMS would be able to do it if they wanted to. I also believe if Christian had carried on with his, he would have got very close, or even got it

 

what did christian get,was his the biggest powered cvh about? i though someone else had that title,seem to remeber numberplate on a white series2 with rat or dan on the end,few years ago though.

 

How many of these topics do you want to start?

 

NMS seem to be oversizing theirs a little, more like 1700cc I think.

I think 400bhp is VERY VERY difficult on a 1600CVH and with the greatest of respect d4 rst, I don't think you're in a position to do it. You either need good access to tuning facilities or VERY VERY VERY deep pockets.

It just seems to be that as soon as someone cracks a certain power figure, the world and his wife think they can get further. All this talk of people wanting 350bhp/400bhp/170mph from their 1600CVH's at the moment, I'd like to see some PROPERLY proven 300bhp CVH's to be honest and some more people cracking 160mph, let alone 170mph or 180mph!!

350bhp and 170mph from 1600 (or thereaboouts) CC's is a VERY Elite club and you'll notice that the only RST's that are there, or even close to being there have VERY strong tuner links.

 

what power was you at when you all cracked the 160mph mark

 

lol I was thinking the same thing

 

what would be the point?imho any over 240bhp in a escort rs turbo is a waste of time!even at 200 they start to struggle to get the power down

 

I don't agree with that, whilst the sheer grunt mine had made getting off the line tricky, you couldn't argue with the 30-150mph absolutely fucking insane power delivery. You can't get that from 240bhp. Don't get me wrong, 240bhp is still a VERY fast car.

Gus - Mine was over 300bhp when it broke 160mph. Possibly even 320bhp. The same for Tony.

 

I wouldn't bother with trying to get 400 out of a CVH. to be honest, and I know i'm liable to get abuse for this but the CVH never really was a great engine in my opinion, i'd prefer to go down the zetec turbo route to achieve that, or YB cossie running gear. Think you would want 4 wheel drive for that, or at least rear wheel drive, like the post above says, you would struggle to get the power down.

 

For the cost and availability I think they are an inmense engine.

 

 

i tend to agree that a cvh aint the best of engines,but i see your point that they are quite cheap compared to say cossie's

 

Yeah i agree really, no offence to the owners of CVH's but ive just never been a fan of that engine. but yeah for cost yeah.. as we all know your looking at a mint to go zetec turbo or YB, let alone converting to 4 wheel drive an stuff if ya wanted it.. have to be honest though, i've had a few nice xr2's in the past but i wouldnt mind a go in a 300bhp + CVH, I'm interested really to see what they drive like being front wheel drive... i've always loved RWD.. think I always will

 

Cheers boys all i can do is try my best to get 300bhp+

 

What spec are you actually going to use to achieve this?

 

O AND 160+

 

.5mm oversize pistons 7 5 1 steel bottom end stage 4 head kent cvh 36 cam big valves gas flowed cts stage 2+ box gotech pro x management turbo?

 

when your at the wheel of a car that weighs less than a ton and is a true 300+whp car, its utter bonkers

proper stoppers and a good suspension setup are a must have!

 

i think 250 bhp in a escort would be a quick car due to power to weight ratio.

 

When I went in Tims car, think it was around 300bhp at the time, it was truely insane!!

 

mine made just over 240bhp and was fast! I'd love a go in a true 300+ RST

 

Well ive been in the 200+ zt off gregor and i think its proper fast tho. But its still no 300hp really let alone a cvh But then again for those who say the cvh is crap? Well maybe with tuning but i like the way it takes abuse again and again. I never had a cvh letting me down. Its most the bits that surround the engine

 

Watch this space

 

my fiesta puts down over 300hp with no fuss !! .

 

^^ snap with help from my new 888s

 

Out of all the cars ive had the s2 is more fun and on occasions more scary than any previous cars ive owned...that includes my r33gtr (bearing in mind standard) and my 350hp rwd saff.

 

i find that most people and not just rst's owners tend to build a engine that is to powerfull for the rest of the car and all it does is make it a dog to drive and unreliable .

 

RAT on the end is dan arrowsmiths car thats not cvh

thing is why would you want that power? bit different if ur a tuner and its a demo car

 

You can have a 4 stage boost seting.

 

just imagine a car getting to 130mph+ down a private road you know and spinning the wheels while it does that! it is fcuking so amazing you just can't stop laughing!
i can get the car drifting across the road but still controllable!

 

that to me sounds like your car drives poorly
i dont get them problems in mine

as said above people are worried about alot of power and dont do the running gear

 

you speedo might be showing 130 but i bet with your wheel spin and with the shit hot ford speedos i reckon your true speed is prob closer to 100mph if that

 

ive owned a 240hp cvh and that was quick,back in summer some time i went in a 280hp cvh and that did feel mad

 

MY WAS 233bhp AND THAT WAS FAST.

 

wait till you plant your foot down with 350+ then lol .

 

LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET 300bhp

 

i'd be happy with anything if it did not break in any case
