stick to the proper rs turbo specials mate vulcan only build engines they wont fit or tune it for you..

mtechautomotive ive never heard of a good rst with their name on it....

msd are realy good but do more cosworths than rs turbos

dont go near torque of the devil as ive had two rs turbos tuned by the tuner there and both have been shockingly shit

so my advise is to speak to the people at the following companys to see what they can do for you mate

ap tuning ..... build some serious rs turbos in their time

power engineering been building them for years and the good tuner is back (ian ball)

and even google oddkidd creations as there is some very nice cars done by this company...

and theres always jamsport as they have build some fine rs turbos

and try www.norrismotorsport.co.uk and check out the engine tuning section rs turbo stages 1-7 350bhp+ fastest in the country

and you will be in good hands

If you want to use decent engine builders around doncaster or near the i would use norris motorsport in derbyshire or motorsport developments or very close to doncaster area six motorsport . Ian deals with zetec turbos but he invented the zvh and has done cvh turbos as well so he could help you out and he is a very honest and helpful guy . I tried to get in contact through ebay about power conversions but had no joy and have not seen him advertising on ebay for a while

hope this helps

cheers paul

Hi ppl

So just to update this thread!

i´ve been at England since day 30 May, so at this point i´ve been at norris, jamsport, and i got a doubt...

My car is very Mint and tidy car, so should i go to 1.8 ZETEC? or stick at my CVH with EFI???

Max power i want is 220 bhp, the max! in my island, i would like moore torque than BHP

So i leave this questions to some of you that understand my doubts

Imagine... with some money in the pocket, what i should put to make it reliable, very reliable ??

cheers, and thx for all the help

i told you mate go and see ian howell , he has custom forged pistons and rods made for every engine made by cp pistons which are one of the best on the market , he also does big valve heads , custom inlets , tubular exhaust manifolds , pectel management all you need , now this bloke works from home in his garage as he has a full time job but he is honest as they come and what he dont know about cvh and zetec engines aint worth knowing. go and see him and he will sort you out and show you some stuff . to get 220 bhp wont take much to be honest how much are you looking to spend ?

cheers paul

If you have been to NMS and Jamsport then you do not need to ask on here whats best! lol
Zetec or CVH is up to you and what you like, both can be just as reliable if a well built engine is put in with good EFI management
