Max BHP on a S2 ERST? What would you need for it?

 

On what engine mate? 1600CVH, 1900CVH, 2.1ZVH, 2.0ZT, 2.1ZT..........

If you mean what I think, then I think Christian & Beccys S2 is the most powerful on a 1600CVH which is about 300bhp It tips 161mph too!

 

Whats Christian & Beccys got done to it?

 

Alot mate, alot!

There's a full feature on their car in Performance Ford within the last 2 months magazines, that gives a full spec of the car From memory tho, I think it run a GT28 Turbo, Screamer Pipe and obviously alot of other goodies!

What route are you planning then mate, your S2 is a 1600 at the mo isnt it? HTH

 

Yeah its a 1600. running 220BHP+

 

If you want to stick to a 1600cvh then either PM him on here or speak to a company called APT, I think its where Christian works and they also advertise on here so shouldnt be too hard to find!

 

Is that deffo 300bhp? Cos the 1/4 mile and 0-60 time printed in PF was not that outstanding? As for most powerfull 1600 with no overboring etc I belive its Jim (SVM 286) which was built by seven valley motrosport almost 10 years ago and is still going strong. Was also Max power featured back in the day

 

I think he probably struggled with traction with reference to the 1/4 and 0-60 times mate, I'm not sure on the exact power output of the car, but it is the fastest 1600cvh engine'd RS Turbo top speed wise, 161.1mph at Brunters!

You'd have to speak to APT or Christian himself but this IMO is one of the best around, not a bad car to aim for i'm sure you'll agree

Who is SVM 286 aswell mate

 

This is SVM 286:






Its quite an unheard about car as i believe Jim who owns it is quite modest about it and doesnt really bring it out much. Although when it does come out it gets a lot of inteest.

This is my fave S2 on the basis its still the original 1600 block with super rare pistons (race spec i believe maintaining original capacity} full steel bottom end and is running standard management @ 286 BHP. Also you go to think that this was built nearly 10 years ago, has never detonated and still kicks ass today

This is the only S2 i would consider over getting an S1

 

Has it been rebuilt since its original build then mate? Its probably so strong due to the capacity not being increased!

Looks bloody hard actually, almost abit 'sleeper'!

JIM RS, whereabouts are you in Southampton mate, and near the West Quay and Ocean Village etc, am up quite regular!

 

Fad, is that on MFI aswell mate, not EFI! Bloody hell, even more impressed!

 

I'm in Shirley mate!

 

Which end is that then, i only know West Quay etc etc! I'm around Bournemouth BTW!

 

Basically im 2minute drive away from West Quay!

 

Oh right, cool! If I get a Series 1 soon enough (or when not if ) I'll come on up, your S2 looks hard mate, I remember the feature!

 

No Sweat!

 

Thats when i find the fookin one i want tho mate! Could be some time!

Is you car on the road at the mo or you got it in bits now?

 

Still in bits mate, will b on road July (Maybe)

Try this mate, its Karl Norris' website, Stages 1-7 for tuning of the 1600cvh!

 

Nope not been rebuilt since it was first developed, IIRC he mentioned some formula one engine building guru did this build. And yes thats the original MFI which suprised me and all Think it ran 27psi at one time

 

Thats alot of boost mate! Thats like nearly 2 bar aint it!

 

The engine is a 1600CVH 8 Valve with a GT Series Roller Bearing Turbo (28psi Boost). Its on Omex 700 Series Management.

The engine is currently in pieces. I am waiting for some pistons from the US. I plan to start a thread in the Rebuilds section when there is something new to see. But there is a few changes planned.

As for the Sprint times, the car is geared for Top Speed. The 161.1mph record that was set at Brunters was at a time when the car had a nasty missfire at 5800rpm. I had to change gear at 5800, then drive through it in 5th, so once its sorted I know its gonna go faster. I have always been shite at 1/4 Mile and 0-60.

 

I will be wathchin this thread then.I always wondered what you had done to your motor.

 

Christian and Beccy: more pictures

 

Certainly pulls really well, Id definatly agree with you as to there being more power/speed to come and with revised spec am sure 170mph from a 1600 is only a matter of months away

Best of luck M8, hope its back on the road soon

 

I have loads of great pics of the car courtesy of Performance Ford. I think I may start my rebuild thread off with a selection of these pics. I just have to resize them first as they are around 10meg each!!!

 

CheeRS Andy.

Perhaps one day I can get a spin in yours.

 

Christian and Beccy, I would love to see a thread explaining exactly what youve done,what it cost and where you got the bits.

 

whicked setups

we got a 2000cc spi cvh here @ 9.7:1 na cr running 20psi on a custom log t3 manifold, stock internals, and megasquirt ultra spark and fuel timing. (his car doesnt look it from the outside much, but that just appeals moreover to the sleeper look )

2000cc spi cvh's are whicked, you guys should think about importing them over the 1.9's

 

bradsescort, so how much brad?and how difficult to get?

 

well i can get them low milage for 250-350 us dollars, that's not including the import to you fee, i dont know how much it would be on a full low end (block, crankshaft, pistons, tie rods, etc) 170lbs or so I'd say on weight

very easy to get, have about 20 easily accessible here in this very town/city

it might be more reasonable to ship over the head/intake manifold/imrc/tb assembly and you guys just use a 2.0zetec bottom end, since it's just about the same.. you can boost the spi much more with much less trouble than the dohc zetec

i can get them with both return line style fuel rail (mechanical, vacuum controlled fpr) found only on 97 or returnless style fuel rail setup, 98-02
i dont know what you guys use over there but the return style is what we use, much easier to work with as well

 

and that 170 might come from a s2 north of the border!
