Ranj, go have a cup of coffee and a sit down, then come back and read the thread.

288.2bhp @ 5864 still 283 @ 6120 to where the graph cuts off.
265lb/ft @ 5403 still got 240lb/ft at 6120 to where the graph cuts off.

Also, the RR operator will normally abort the run where the car stops producing power, which is why it ends at 6120.
Hope I don't sound too critical!!
well many many many (ie 6 or so!) i remember a 1.9 or 2litre bottomended white S2 around that had a RR graph for about that power, but not seen it for years.
cant think of a Red S2 with that kinda power, but thats a fuckload of power for a FWD

1618cc CVH, stage 2 head, newman cam, solid lifters, piper vernier, wire ringed block, lowered compression, ARP conrod Bolts, AVA ecu, AVA modified fuel system, AVA high flow tubular manifold, T28 turbo, 360 bearing, reshaped front pipe, AVA Large capacity intercooler, magnex exhaust.
205.1 @ the wheels
Far too many people generalise.....point being I have seen some seriously pathetic excuses of ZVH engines as I have Zetec and CVH. There have been some CVH engines that have been properly engineered and produced results that would blow the doors of most ZVH or Zetec Turbo's however CVH boys wait until you've seen a proper dyno not RR graph from a properly engineered ZVH engine. I am on the case and should have something posted soon.
Thanks - Sunny.
Thanks - Sunny.
Heres some i collected over the years when i had mine........
2.1 ZVH
Stg T3 .63
Mega Head (Ian Howell spec)
Mfi with 5th inj
Piper T2 Cam
This one is at Well Lane running 14psi.....

Nobles running std head and 14psi and no 5th inj.....

The next 2 are at SCA running a bar......


This one is at nobles running a bar also......

I've seen sids graph and its impressive for running 20psi but he won't show it to anyone till its completed

Keith, it isn't going back on the dyno so when you say completed the dyno graph will never be completed. Besides, I am sure Sid's dyno graph will open alot of peoples eyes even with it running just 20psi.

they don't do many fords any more, more into jap stuff. they have a gorgeous skyline they are building up , expected to be circa 800bhp
i popped into see them a few weeks back and found them to be really good, friendly and helpful. very knowledgable too. i had asked them to tune my engine and when it couldn't be done because of an air leak ( after they had looked at it for a while) thay did it the following day and charged me nothing
pretty good when your paying for peoples time and knowledge that they be so accomodating. would recommend them to anyone
they also built my engine so if the figures are good then

Yes mate....what i meant was he won't be showing any graphs until he is happy to do so when its totally complete which will be never....lol

Not at all. Karl speced the cam and timing so as to make it more progressive delivery and get the power up high(er)
I think things would have improved if I'd have had one of Karls big valve heads. Mine was ported etc and had wasted stem valves, not larger in size though.
Yes, looks like it lacks the low-down torque normally associated with 2.1 ZVH.
Also, the RR operator will normally abort the run where the car stops producing power, which is why it ends at 6120.
