... But who by?

Been thinking this over for a while now.

Hasn't got to be massive power, but i would like around 280bhp (flywheel)

The reason i want this sort of power, is that i went in a mates car with a 2.0 zvh 280bhp @ fly and it was fucking stupid! I loved it.

Yes it had loads of wheel spin but i couldn't give a shit! The pull though 3rd gear was ridiculus!

Anyway. Who should i choose to build me one?

Who did you use/would you recomend? Why?

Also, if you are not into the idea of ZVH and would rather do a Full zetec turbo, i would rather you didnt post as it will turn into a big argument post.



Thanks Billy

 

dont BSW do mega ZVH builds..

Ian Howell.. Area Six..??

 

ian howell mate, one of the best in the uk

BSW? Who's that mate?

 

Ian Howell / area six is your very man I reckon.

 

Karl Norris rebuilt Stu H's, he seems pretty pleased with it...


If not then Area Six



PS: Go 16v

 

Anyone else. Closer to London?

Ian Howell has a great name for building these

 

Yeah I was gonna say Stu H's seems great, and Karl is a great builder too

 

Is Norris in Nottingham?

Area six is in ?????

 

How about you sort your budget out first...


What are you expecting and for what?

 

I beleive area 6 is in lincoln mate, Thats where fiesta frenzy used to be

 

Thanks.

Anywhere else closer to London?

 

Anyone else?

 

Mate without a doubt Ian Howell is best.

 

Looking that way.

Ian on passionford is he?

If not i'll give him a bell soon

 

Go with the majority... I wouldnt be bothered if they was close to home or not.

Get it done right and right first time, You'll only pay in the long run


What jake says too, Sort a budget out first, as things always lead astray if you dont

 

TBH mate, If the best engine builder is miles away, wouldn't you rather go to him than someone closer who might not be as good?
There's good reason why everyone is naming the same person!!

 

True, but if you dont ask, you dont get. You never know if somone is not that far away and really good at this sort of thing.

I've emailed Karl Norris so lets see what happens from here on

 

I have got a budget, but it wont be an issue as im not going over top with it.

 

Fiar doo's! Keep us updated then

 

If you are serious i'd give NMS a call, there's a good chance that emails are last priority if they are still as busy as they have been.

 

do i need to say

 

ive been told fms are good
arnt they in london?

 

Remember the Majority also voted in the Labour party its not always a good thing to go with them

 

Not sure where Field Motorsport are? Essex/East London i think.

 

280 is relatively over the top for a zvh in most people's eyes. lol

Why not just get from whoever your mate got his from if you are pleased with that one?

Thats the thing, the bloke with this car worked at a certain tuning company near by. Built it himself. If i take the car to said company i may never see it again

Anyway, i might get him to build it but thought id see what else is on offer as my mate is snowed under with work at the mo.

What do you mean 280 is over the top? I've 300+ knocking about!

 

Cheers Bruv

 

280 is still alot to get from a 2.0 8v, head will need alot of work, rods if staying standard might need some work, pistons, block work to accept manifold unless going tubular, management/injectors...


wont be 'cheap', not if you want it done right.. I know you dont want 16v, but there are people on here with ZVH's who say, if they would do it again, they'd go 16v instead of ZVH

 

True, but for now id like to see if i can replicate my mates, it was mad!

 

Wannabe

 

It might be, But Im sure a decent 16v would be better

 

With either skimmed pistons or a de-comp plate yeah, Id sooner have different pistons though

 

I swear i said at the top, if you dont like zvh and prefer full zetec please keep it to yourself. Cos the post will start to wander from a company you recomend to why it "better" to do a full zetec.

Thanks

 

why not do the block so it can be chnaged back to 16v at a later date so if you want the change the choice is there seen some one just tap the oil ways and put flush sittin bolts in there ! as for your buget only one place to get parts from for a zetec bottom end and thats the usa ! your lookin £500 pistions and rods deliverd to your door ! sure some one on here has them in a ZVH runnin 400+bhp the ZOO fiesta? as for the head work i would talk to C&B hes gettin 350bhp out his 1.6 sure he could work wounders or can point you in the right direction the just take it to the man him self at area six and have him build it all up proply

hope thats some help lol

 

If I posted a topic on here "how do I undo wheel nuts with an apple, please dont mention wheel braces" I would be limiting the usefullness of the replies I get to my dilema of taking my wheels off I suspect, maybe you have done the same?
Might be worth at least saying WHY you dont like 16v heads, as it might be something you are mistaken about?

 

I didn't know that was a possibility mate. That sounds like a good idea. I have been looking at Pistons and rods from the u.s.a. Most kits come with rings, arp bolts etc...

Area six or norris would be doing the head work, with a decent cam (newmans) using my T34.63 turbo and a custom inlet plenum, put together properly and who knows what will happen!

 

sounds like a good build, yeah to do the 8v head im sure its the 4 oil ways on the front of the block thats is blocked up as there not needed , so you could just tap in to the oil ways with then use some flat bolts and some sorta sealent ? then if u wanted to go full blown zt just take the head off remove the 4 bolts and put the 16v head on sorted
