weve got that fit
cvh
zvh
zetec
duratec 2.3

what about focus st 2.5/volvo
honda k20a (type r)

any other half decent engines that might fit?

 

are you asking a question?

 

C20let
Sr20det

 

I take it that you are staying turbo'd?

 

looking for an alternative?

 

yes
just seeing if anyone has attempted or has fitted something different

thought about sticking the vauxhall in the list

dave,gus
just looking at other options at the minute,ive still got one steel cvh to go back in and the other one is still down marks

 

if you have the money any engine will fit

cosworth yb or v6

ls1 vxr8 thing

2.2 tdci

 

Anything will fit, But how bigs your wallet?


Depending on what power your after really?

 

tommy has always said duratec would be good


easy to get the power out of one

 

You'd never catch me doing stuff like that

 

whats yours running tony?

 

think it's a 2 litre rover engine but am sure tony will enlighten us

 

For class rules its a NA 1.6 VVC twin cam Lotus Elise lump but its mated to my Ford straight cut S1 gearbox so it still runs all Ford standard shafts etc.

 

add to list:
rs2000 + 2.3 galaxy hybrids
st24 v6
(im assuming your still thinking fwd?)

 

why look for something different? whats wrong with the tried and tested cossie conversion for good power?

 

i would imagine the steel cvh would do for starters!
as far as a very fast driveable motor goes i'm guessing the 2.3 duratec would be a very good option as it would need minimal psi to see good power when in a lightweight S1

 

if i wanted cossie power id buy a sierra or escort cossie

ive got 2 steel cvh engines anyway

fonfe
yes still fwd

i just reckon with a properly sorted car it will laugh at 300bhp

 

just use a steel cvh and spend money on making sure all bits are top notch, get a good turbo and good management with a good cam/port. you could get close to 300bhp easily.
as for cost, a 2.1zvh would make 300bhp pretty easily, or better a full zetec conversion.

 

got all that already

 

i have just done the interior for a rally'd esort mk 2, it has a rx7 rotary engine in it n carbs,its running 230bhp at the mo but is going tobe running 300 when finished. The engine is tiny and one person can lift it in there own!! you would have to go rwd but it would bevery different. The performance/bhp per weight is awsome, it came second in its 1sr rally! would of won but the clutch was slippin
