Hi all,

I want to get my new engine sorted over the winter. But I am in a right pickle as to what route to go down and where to begin....to put u in the picture my current engine in the S2 is standard, bar a zorst and runs 10ish psi unchipped and never been chipped 54K

I also have sitting in my garage a 2.0 mondeo block, had all the work done to make it a 2.1, has calibra turbo low comp pistons etc, so could be good? I want to go ZVH not full blown 16V, but I have been told that the pistons are no good for the ZVH and the compression ratio would not be correct for the CVH head ?

I dont want to have to start getting it all together only to find it will be scrap after a short time...

Wot do you suggest I do, sort the standard 1600 out, have it played about with, or go with the zetec block?

Tuners propper opinions would be nice or someone who really CAN give me a genuine answer

Cheers

Adam.

 

Buy martoooons rover metro engine

 

If your engine is that good, I would go ot somewhere like M.A.D (not too farfor you) get it chipped to about 14/15psi and get the fuel set up properly by Mark, add a decent air filter (keep the air box tho and drill it out, not a cone), -31 actuator, cam kit and your set for 180

Then cooler upgrade - bit more boost (17/18), headwork, decent leads and plugs and depending on Zorst your good for 210-215

 

Na, dont want to fuck around, plus I have most bits ready for EFI conversion (sorry I forgot to mention I am going efi ) So, it is use my current engine, get it stripped and put some mad pistons and rods in it or slap a stage 3 head on the zetec and be done with it, but what I am asking is WILL THE CR be incorrect with the zetec setup I have?

 

get it checked ( comp ratio) if its too high ya can get the head bowls ( sorry not techy) machined to lower the comp too if ya pistons aint got no meat on em

 

OK then, any more opinions........?
