o.k as most may know i blew my engine on way to cumbria rsoc last month and ive been offerd a 1.8 zetec bottom end now what would need to be done to run 190bhp on it as the engine that was last in the car was 240bhp 1.6 cvh so the turbo and top end is a very good spec
the block has been in a s2 before but for that power do i need low comp pistons e.t.c
cheers guys looking for as much power that i can safely get with keeping all my own stuff and spending very little
cheers guys help is apreciated just need the car back on the road asap

i'm rinning a 1.8 zvh with skimmed standard pistons at about 14 psi of boost...and it flys.my spec is piper 285 t2 cam,5th inj,stg2 turbo,grs fmic,k/n 57i,185 chip...a guy up our way had a similar spec but with out the 5th inj. and only had a double capacity pace 'cooler and he got a 240 odd on the rollers
the torque is amazing

as already said, put he crank and rods in anothercvh block if the forgeed,
other wise, order forged pistons and rods from america, bout 400 quiid these days, can run as much boost as you head will flow then
turbo boss is making 4000bhp + with this set up (think he uses omexmanagement though)

not sure about your old spec but if you was to go zvh the best route to go is to get the sump,pick up pipe & flywheel of that 1800 & bolt it onto a 2.0l then get a set of pistons from a calibra/cavalier turbo engine(LET) & send the rods & pistons to area six as he charges £90 to fix them together as they need modifieng then bang it all together & there you have it, some may say you need steel rods but severn valley ran a zvh to 300bhp+ on standard rods so its up to yourself realy
