Just trying for find out as me and a mate are almost at each other necks about it he say so much bhp and i say another so what do you think?

1.6CVH N/A
1.6CVH Turbo

2.0Zetec N/A
2.0Zetec Turbo

Cosworth YB N/A
Cosworth YB Turbo

Duratec N/A
Duratec Turbo

ZVH N/A
ZVH Turbo

2.0 Pinto

 

i can see this causing arguments lol

cosworth turbo about 800bhp is the most i seen think 779 or something like that

 

"How fast can you afford to go sir??"

 

If i could i would

If its money no object with the above engines how much power could be had...

 

its hard to answer realy as danny says its how much you can spend and i suppose mods are never ending realy imo so bit hard to put figures on them

 

if you had endless money pit then you could R and D new parts using new technologies and make summit out of this world, Look at the power a F1 engine puts out for its size,

Money makes the wheels go round, The more money, the faster they go

 

Has it got to be drivable on the road or a full race YB engine.
Mine is a road engine with ports , valves, cams all well off race spec it will be circa 700bhp on race Fuel. Assume over 800bhp abtainable if a few more comprimises are made with roadability.
You can always cheat , mine also has a 200bhp Nitrous capability. A 1000bhp YB engine exists in Cyprus using Nitrous.

 

 

i think just saying how fast can you afford to go isnt right. You cant just keep extracting bhp out of say a CVH without it becoming 'not' a cvh.

 

Is it on a particular size of turbo? Like "how much from a YB with a T3" would be a better starting point.

 

Plynchy.....thats not what he means. I think he means the most possible out of the engine full stop....wether it has a t34 or a jumbo jet engine blowing into the fooker

 

Maximum budget?

1.6CVH N/A - 200 BHP
1.6CVH Turbo - 450 BHP (stand to be corrected)

2.0Zetec N/A - 220 BHP
2.0Zetec Turbo - 500 BHP (but more torque than 1.6 CVH turbo)

Cosworth YB N/A - 340 BHP (£££££)
Cosworth YB Turbo - answers above from more knowledgeables

Duratec N/A - have heard 300 BHP, not sure about more???
Duratec Turbo - FUCK KNOWS

ZVH N/A - 200 BHP (but more torque than 1.6 CVH)
ZVH Turbo - 400???

2.0 Pinto - have to add to this - aspirated 240 BHP (££££), supercharged 450 BHP, turbocharged 600 BHP - this was achieved years ago in the states!!!
