Apart from Myself, Mr C and Tim....

What other 1600 CVH powdered Escorts have broken into the 160+mph bracket at Bruntingthrope, what was their "spec" and what speed did they achieve?

 

Ollie in his S1??

 

That's a 1900 mate

 

can't be to many of you out there really

 

Oddkids car ?

 

Mine

 

dont think Jano has broke 160

 

Im sure if any other 1600s had done it you would know.

Steve.

 

Did the Severn Valley one from years ago crack 160mph? Sorry mate don't know the spec

 

Yeah we're in a league of our own

Lots of Zeteqs have done it now I think? But very few cvh's!

 

Wasn't that a ZVH?

 

Sure that was a ZVH Chap!

 

Doh! Tony beat me to it!

TBH Tony, don't think there is anymore at the moment, sure Stuart Collins' will come close!

 

I reckon stuart is going to smash 160.

Aparently Tim is properly going to push the envelope with his new engine.

 

I know mine never got to 160, but I was well chuffed with my 153

Karl helped spec it and I built it:

std crank - blanced
Farndon Steel rods
Cosworth Forged pistons
std head gasket, oil and water pump
Karl Norris Stg 3 head with matching manifolds
Stg 3 T3 turbo on a 0.48 exh housing
Mongoose exh
GRS i/c
Std KE with the fuel mod
NMS chip

Engine was probably good for a genuine 230bhp. It was a cracking little engine

 

Havent heard of any other 1600 CVH's do 160mph+ as i looked into it before

i know back in the day the Black Severn Vally RST did 158 or 159 though though

 

I get scared if mine goes above 110!!!

 

Paul Eggleton Any pics of your old car mate?

 

anybody know the most torque ever proven on a turbo 1.6cvh???

have asked before but nobody answered

 

xxx

 

Yours I reckon fella!

 

Dont think anyone is beating your engine MK

 

what about stevie rw cant mind what his was but was quick in its day

 

Was jamsports car a 1.9?

 

Here you go

 

Mark, has yours been re-run yet?

Mine has made 290lb/ft and that feels like it want's to rearrange internal organs, so I can't imagine what a more torquey 1600 would feel like.

 

Tony has yours not had a rebore since it was created....chances of it being a genuine 1600 are slim

 

 

 

paul what is the fueling mod? as when i took mine to karl for a setup he didnt mention any mods he could do to the ke, he insisted on a fifth or cossie management i was maxing out the ke!

 

AROFL



What makes you think it has been re-bored?

 

It's secret He took the metering head out and took it to the back of his garage, fiddled for 10 minutes and then refitted it. Hey presto fueling for 22psi

 

Actually spat tea at that one.. so fooking Apt

 

Cause its an old bean tin...

See C&B is mighty behind the ivory as per normal LOL....

Stu & Andy it was a light hearted joke at tony so take your digs at me and fuck off

 

I don't think you will find that there are any more people other than you three who are stupid enough to chuck £20k at a bean-tin .

 

That picture looks like a pretty light hearted reply to you from Andy, so why dont you fook off instead eh? Fooking Drainer.

 

You got that right

 

So based on your train of thought, it is pretty safe to assume that Tim and Ollie have? Interesting

 

Drainer AFPMSL - man are you a first class cock - Why don't u keep it up just like your ring arguments

ding expecting life time ban any sec

 

Your a sadcase Dingy, pure and fooking simple. ALL you ever seem to do is argue with people, even your friends tread carefully around you cos of your attitude probem.

Example:
Telling someone to fuck off, just for laughing at a picture on the internet, eyah, what a star personality you have.

Go get a life you waste of fooking oxygen.
