They used to be called edenperformance or something like that mate had a ZVH built there lasted 500 miles then cracked the pistons because the pistons was not installed properly

Here's one of the zvh's ive built still running mfi, it made over 200 but on the rollers the standard clutch started slipping and this dyno printout was the only one we had saved, cluch was ditched for a 4 paddle kit so i would reccomend one to start with.

i bought a zvh bottom end of a guy who used to advertise on ebay going buy the name of turbo buildz or something like that, 2l converted to fit the cvh head, new oil and water pump, bearings and the other bits done, standard pistons skimmed, my cvh head bolted straight on, got the zvh head gasket from burton power had it set up on rollers with chip, charge cooler, pipercam and vernier, exhaust, air filter and made 208bhp @ 11psi, only cluth let go week after and turbo week after that so fitted AP 4 paddle and turbo technics stage 3 t3, had it set up again @ 14psi max for standard pistons and it made 220bhp still running mfi done over 2000 miles and its still going

tbh efi is the way forward in my opinion when your spending good money on an engine. if your not looking to build it yourself ian howell @ area six has a great reputaion for big power zvh engines and im sure can help you

Powerconversions is not renamed from edenperformance. I was there for about a year, the owner was called Dave; my name is Chris and i am fed up with being associated with him, and also the RS centre in rotherham which has nothing to do with me. I left edenperformance due to the lack of work ethics from Dave. Our opinions clashed on the quality of workmanship he was providing to the customers and the lack of good customer service. I have started powerconversions and provide both top quality parts and reliable engine builds. I care about what I do.
Sorry to have a rant !!!!!

I know Chris and I know the effort that goes into putting these engines together. All his customers I've spoke to have been more than happy with the work he's done for them and a few have since sold their cars and got back in touch for him to build another...

Which car was it that cracked it's pistons?

Had mine done by http://devil-developments.co.uk/default.aspx

I had a heck of a lot of work done from these guys, engine, management, everything basically, and it goes very well
