Hi

I'm currently building a 1.8 ZVH engine with forged pistons and rods and I cant decide what compression ratio to go for. I have no issues working it out.

I'm not interested in going zetec turbo, I have done that previously with a 2ltr and found too much stuff had to be modified with the wider head, this is going in a series 1 so I do not want anything cut and I like the look of a cvh rocker cover. Keeping it 1.8 as I don't really need the extra torque you get with the 2ltr.

I not going for all out power, initially looking around the 250bhp mark but want a nice power curve with the torque as flat as possible.

Spec will be:
1.8 zvh
stage 3 t3 turbo (rs turbo)
omex ecu
Accralite pistons
PEC rods
Fiesta turbo inlet
standard exhaust manifold
385cc injectors
Piper 285T cam
stage 1 head

Thanks
Phil
