Hello all.... Firstly i know its not an escort but its still a CVH.....

I am going to be looking to rebuild my EFI engine in my fiesta...

The Current spec is as follows.

Stg3 T3
Pro Alloy Front Mount Intercooler
Stg3 P&P Head
Std Cam
Esc Cossie Fuel Pump
Chip
Beiges
std bottom end which is now fcuked.... so getting rid of it for my old N/A bottom end

Basically i had my 1.6Cvh N/A bottom end rebuilt 12k ago and now im looking to use that to swap pistons and rods to forged turbo items or something that can handl the power, mod the sump for the turbo oil return and possibly baffle the sump for when i track the car. of cause with all new oil pump, water pump etc...

Also whilst the engine is in bits im looking for a decent cam to use... Been told either Kent or Newman... Any ideas...?

Im looking ideally builing the engine to cope with 250bhp but run it @ 220-230bhp i know i will be limted to start with by the injectors and managment but they are on the list after i have built the engine...

So i basically asking what sort of bottom end work will needed to be done to cope with the power i would like to achive..





Look forward to hearing your opinions

Cheers

I think with chip and beiges your top limit is just above a genuine 200bhp.
I assume your old engine snapped a rod or something causing block damage?
your other items should easily pass 250bhp with a decent map/injectors along with a good rod/piston combo
lastly i'd say newman and solids are the only really good option for someone wanting a reliable cvh top end.

 

Agree with Chris, and to add iirc beiges are right on the limit at 200bhp, I personally wouldnt use them.

 

So what would you recommend piston and rod wise....??

I know beiges are maxed out by 200bhp but I was going to use them until I sourced something else to up rate too until I changed to aftermarket management...

Thanks

PEC rods, Wossner pistons, seem to be the best value for money, OKC did have the best price on these.

 

as above, newmans cam, solids,and if your going for a rebuild you may aswell get some forged pistons and rods,lightened+balanced bottom end. i believe you can run lancia green injectors on your fez management and tbh is underated gear
