Does any one know the max bhp I could get out of the would I be able to hit 450ish with right injectors??

And what would I have to use to make it fit to a zetec ??

shalon

i have one with the adapter plate if your interested not sure if over 400 is possible on one but cant see why as they match the zetec ports perfectly

Witch inlet would be good for 450ish what about the efi ??

And I found two on eBay nearly finishing and at 99p lol but maybe interested is either of yours lol

lol mine isnt on ebay, i honestly could not tell you what power they are good for bud

Pockets2012

Do u have any idea on the efi one ??

SBT83

I'm running one but doubt you'd get 400 on a stock inlet or the rover. Custom plenum would be the way forward. But I will say a cossie throttle body fits the rover inlet. Get some Siemens injectors and a decent management sorted and it won't be too bad. Go forged internals not budget decomp plate if your chasing that much power

Pockets2012

I see

I have put up a list on here some where on what ideas I want to do but not many people posted on it so I'm kinda trying to resurch my self lol

I feel stupid asking silly questions

I just need pointing in right direction lol

SBT83

rsmark86 and karlosG would be telling you to go st170 bottom end and blacktop head for easy 300 which is excellent advice and much more realistic for the price. But I really couldn't tell you what you would need on that setup to reach 400

This what I git in mind

SBT83

What about an uprated fuel pump? Vac lines? Breather set up? Oil feeds oil returns? Turbo lines? Temp sensors? Gaskets?

Personally I wouldn't bother with the trouble of boring to 2.1. I just think you'll struggle, seriously with a silvertop going 400

Ask Karlos about parts required for th st170 route. Your more than likely gonna end up going that way in all fairness. And for a lot less money I'd think about settling for 300. But I'm all for people trying so give it ago. Only person that's gonna stop you is yourself

Pockets2012

I'm gettin black top

Pockets2012

The silver top only one cam of I rember rightly

Black top has twin

SBT83

Silver and blacktop are double overhead cam. Just black top being slightly newer and revised but even then lacks some attributes of the silvertop. And as for oil pumps, it's either fit a brand new ford item or go dry sump.
Really is a shame no ones built a stronger unit

SBT83

You mY be thinking about the cvh single cam

CrOwSoN15

Only way you'll safely see 400+ is with a steel bottom end, standard crank is fine bar getting everything balanced up. I don't think a HO inlet can flow it but I may be wrong, better off to just go with a plenum from Crazycage or one of the big tuners.

gjh

Does any rover turbo inlet fir the zetec or does it have to be from the 800 series?

SBT83

420 600 800 820 iirc. As long as it's from a t series it will be fine. They're all the same except for the logo on top

gjh

Cool, cheers

Ill be ripping the engine out this week coming just finding away to get it to work

The previous owner of the car i bought said his mate is running just over 550bhp on a rover t series inlet and races it in a rover saloon championship (not sure on which engine though).

SBT83

There's no mistaking it is a very very good inlet! Perfect length runners good size plenum and very free flowing. Plus I love the way it looks on the zetec

luke19790_3

Got crazy cage to replace the top section on mine, looked a lot better

SBT83

What's it like now? Got a pic?

luke19790_3

luke19790_3

SBT83

luke19790_3

SBT83
