what involved in a 1.9 conversion chaps?

 

i asked this question and i have had next to no response

so either 1.9's arent that commonly used, or no-one likes me

 

there are a few ways to go about a 1.9 conversion, i bought a 1.9 bottom end from specialised engines to do mine, everything from the 1.6 bolts straight on . from what i can gather though alot of people dont rate the specialised engines bottom end very highly but i have had mine for a few years now and cant fault it, obviousely (sp) with more cc the fueling will need setting up by somebody that knows what they are doing i think also a turbo with a .48 exhaust housing is adviseable but could be wrong? apart from that... nout to it

 

what spec you running?

 

S.E lightened ballenced bottom end, cylinder head developements big valve head, kent cam, polish, port ect, stage 2 hybrid, baby pace cooler ofab efi management with red 330cc ford racing injectors, all usual other stuff (induction kit, breather, exhaust) & mapped by msd.

 

sounds good, shame bout the pace lol, wots it putting out (bhp wise)?

 

i honestly have no idea. had it dyno'd when i first put the 1.9 in at interpro in bristol and came away with 198bhp @16psi but the efi conversion has been done since then so your guess is as good as mine, it pulls like a train and personally i think if it had much more power it would spoil the enjoyment of driving it

 

How can you say more power would spoil the enjoyment

The more power i get, the more enjoyment i get

 

ring Jamie @ Jamsport, he'll sort you out with a top 1.9

 

ok i probably would enjoy a bit more power but it can become a bit anoying at times when you plant your right foot down and do nothing but spin the wheels fwd, i suppose it cant be helped!

 

get a cts stage2 then that mite not happen

 

like mine
