Default Had my zvh set up today on the rr at mikeanics

Well car has been for a set up its a 2.1 zvh still on mfi (which is a bit crap) its got a pace chargecooler, (plan to fit a good fm ic soon) kent 32 cam, ported head and usual upgrades running approx 1 bar of boost it made 228 bhp with nealy 240 torque,

Im pritty happy with that will be fitting a new cam soon when i decide which one go for

what turbo you running ive got a t34 on mine and was told the engine could make 300bhp without being to stressed even with the 5th inj and mfi but couldnt get it boosing properly on the r/r due to a weak actuator think we got approx 240bhp @11/12 psi

He does work with Omex as you said ,he can supply all thats needed as i was going go that route but decided sell my RS turbo.He did say he can also supply and fit megasquirt to which is alot cheaper if i remember rightly.
