Ok,if i go for a 1.8,or 2.1 ZVH conversion...What else am i looking at,bar buying a built bottom end???

What turbo?
Do i need to do anything to the head?
What chip?
What injectors?

And anything else you can think of,off the top of your heads???

Cheers in advance..

depends how mad you want to go?

but you could just bang on a t3 & run it on standard management if you liked?

or you could go the mad route of custom manifolds, gt turbos, expensive management etc etc?

its up to you

warleydaddy

So a T3,set of Beiges,fuel pump,and some 1 to do me a chip is all i need?

Only as,as i cant really see a T2 being up to much on a 2.1ZVH!!1 IF i go that route of corse

Pete..

smitsturbo

pretty much yes

have you got a bottom end already like? what pistons are in it?

warleydaddy

No not yet...

Still weighing up what to do,what to go for,and where from...

Had some good offers so far,but wanna be 100% before i do... As im more bodywork minded,than mechanicaly minded!!

Id stay with the CVH tbh, cossie T3, beiges, cooler and a decent set up

Stu.H

as smit says, how mad do you want to go..

My bottleneck is the 2.5" bore from turbo, restricting the breathing, and the turbo needs to be a .63 t34 with cut back blades, and exhaust a 3".

I would see a reliable 320+bhp and the high 300's with torque.

But then, what else will break

warleydaddy

But Stu,yor main aim was to go for that sort or power,mines not though

AND every fuckin cunt in the midlands has drove your car now,and i aint even fuckin sat in it!!! Whats the fuckin deal there you bell end!!!!!!!!

I'd go ZVH, better bottom end amongst other things to start with, and not much dearer to build if your not wanting to go mental

I know a couple of water or oil ports need blanking of to meet the CVH head but not sue what ones or on the block or the head.

Stu.H

You have sat in it, remember when we were at the side of the motorway for umpteen hours cos ur AA bloke stitched u!

I *promise* you can have a drive before it goes

warleydaddy

Getting the bottom end done isnt a prob,got the offers to do it for me,and info..

Its what else i need for the car,to make it worth while,is what im after.. But cheers for the reply

Pete...

smitsturbo

id go full zetec turbo, less work than a zvh with more scope for power

warleydaddy

A,thaks the 100% originality out the car when you pop the bonnet,ok i know a ZVH is too,but not as bad a ful ZETEC.

AND

B,i dont want stupid power...

Ollie MK5 Turbo

My old 2.1 ZVH setup was a t3 turbo with .63, Green Weber IW 031 330ccmin Injectors (flow lots more than Beiges) and a 2.5 Bar Map Sensor running on OFAB.

Thats a pucker setup and will see you well over a real 230 bhp.

P.S and all for sale https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...asc&highlight=

If you only want 200bhp stick with cvh i recon my old 1.6 ran 240bhp like having a holiday in the park never went wrong If you want more power and to spend more money then go zvh

Sexy-RS

Another thought zvh's have silly amounts of torque no matter what bhp so you will be blowing gearboxes so would need to upgrade that as well

Bungle

Oh bollocks that means my standard box won't take long to shit its self then

warleydaddy

Well i REALLY AM fucked now....

CVH or ZVH!!!!!!!!!! I cant decide!!!!!!!!!

Pete...

Stu.H

Look at my engine pete, my engine made 267.7bhp and 325ft/lb of torque, christians made the exact opposite

depends what u want

Bungle

Go zvh and 1800 fuck the power freaks

vroooom ptssssh

Whats point in doing a 1800 zvh if you can do a 2litre ? assuming for the same price
