What spec would i need for 280 BHP out of a 1.6? I did plan on building a zetec turbo but as im getting a house soon i was thinkin it would be much cheaper to build a 1.6!

Also how reliable would it be for say head-gaskets and cooling etc? Il be running EFI managment!

Thanks!

you could build a zetec which wont break the bank a 280bhp cvh not going to be cheap what have you got at the moment spec wise

Basically im restoring my S2 so its a bare shell,but soon(hopefuly) the shell will be done and the engine is next!

When i rebuild it i plan on fitting EFI and already have my loom,OFAB ECU,EFI inlet!

Also i have a GRS Front mount,alloy radiator,stage 2 t3!

Also if i fit a zetec block will i still be able to use my rad etc?

Thanks!

you can use all the parts you currently have.. could go bigger with the turbo if you go down the zetec turbo route. what is your budget

A big power engine is expensive mate - CVH or Zetec. My advice ? Put the money into your house.............honest

Sensible, your moneys safe in bricks mate. Or you could look it another way. You can live in your car, but you cant smoke a suxo in ya house!

......or buy the ready-built engine that we have. £4k and it's roughly the same spec as mine. (just needs a good turbo, which I can spec).

Yes, so we are keen to sell it for £4k.

It has Ross Racing Custom Forged Pistons, Farndon Steel H-Section Rods, Custom Ported Big-Valve Head with Newman Cam fitted etc etc.

Has all new parts throughout including a brand new Genuine Ford Oil and Water Pump and a brand new Ford Sump.
