Default zvh tuning...

hi guys, been doing a fair bit of reading on the zvh turbo, seems the main issue is the torque dropping off early. is there any way around it?

i know a zetec turbo is better but at the minute i`ve not got funds for it. so that and the mtx will have to wait.

at the minute ive got a big valve ported head with t2 cam and thinking of knocking up a 1.8 bottom end as i cant see the 1.6 lasting that long.

its all about the head and cam

speak to simon and nick at sitech racing, they have some example graphs of what you can expect with a combination/spec by them

Hope this helps mate

thanks dude, hear so many mixed things about them. all depends on how the cvh lasts but temping to chuck on in to hike the power up a bit.

new blocks are cheap as chips nowadays.
