And and some pics of my old 2.1ZVH engine fer a blow up at 8500rpms

[adz]

looks nice! dont know alot about engines but those last few pics dont look healthy

engine bay looks sexy.

[pornstar!]

seen this car before, did it used to have 1800 on throttle bodies in it? nice motor good to see something different and 200+ of N/A powers gatta be a scream

It had a 2.1 ZVH in it with twin 40's throttle bodies
but now has 2.1 16v Zetec with twin 48's throttle bodies plus loads more

[heeman10]

Very nice indeed. You did a proper job of lunching the ZVH from the looks of things!

My dad's 2.0 N/A Zetec makes 227bhp, so even at 2.1 yours must be on about a 10.5:1 ratio is it? Must be one hell of a drive

[freak power]

so even at 2.1 yours must be on about a 10.5:1 ratio is it?

13.1 compression ratio

[heeman10]

wtf?! You can clearly get much more power from it then! Are you willing to tell more? Valve sizes etc? Perhaps that's all that's left, but with a 2.1 at 13.1:1 it could be making 260 odd! Mad!

[freak power]

Head is the works you name it its been done, bigger valves, oversize soild 32mm liftres, race cams, titanium valve train, doulble valve springs, fully flowed, 86.5mm forged high comp pistons ( 2070cc ) and 13.1 C/R, steel rods, twin 48 throttle bodies, balanced bottom end, baffled sump, 1.7/8 bore 4 into 1 manifold going down into a 2.5 inch bore plus loads more

[heeman10]

Oh right I see, sounds like a top notch engine, who built it and did the head work etc? Must be some more power to come in mapping then? Or maybe it's the lack of harness pads and spinner hub caps I'm not saying 240bhp is a crap figure, just wondering why there are such differences between the two engines

[freak power]

I built the engine and Andy weston @ cylinder head developments did all the machine work on the head.
More to come with mapping and at a later date the management will be swapped for something like a MoToC, Pectel or Omex to run 8 injectors

[heeman10]

Sounds like a cracking engine, one to switch from car to car I reckon Let us know what figures you get with better management, should be a beauty

[freak power]

Will do hope to crak the 300bhp mark i wish

[heeman10]

You won't be so far off Nitrous and a couple of turbo's oughta do it

[Sunil_FiestaRS_16V]

now that sounds like a proper engine , hows it drive is there usable torque low down?

Don't know haven't drivrn her yet, should be ok to drive as the 2.1 and high compression should make it drive ok, just waiting fo my manifold

[heeman10]

It'll be sweet. My dad's pulls from about 1,250 rpm, pulls strongly from 2,000+, very driveable motors.

[freak power]

I built one for my mate to a same spec but with smaller throttle bodies and tamer cams and that was great to drive,
Just not looking forward to the fuel bills as my old ZVH engine did 250 miles to a full tank round town.

[Andy.B]

Glad to see its comming on really well Looks like a cracking engine, gunna be wickid to drive when its finnished.

James did ya get my PM????

[heeman10]

Yeah Andy I did, you Banker Will post it out tonight/tomorrow

[krsi]

Wicked car mate. How can you moan at 250 mile to a tank

[ianFRST]

now put that in a fiesta, weighs less

[freak power]

Wicked car mate. How can you moan at 250 mile to a tank

That was with my old ZVH Its now got moe power and twin 48mm throttle bodies with 803 ( drack greens ) fuel injectors to it not going to be the best on the fuel

[freak power]

now put that in a fiesta, weighs less

I was going to do that some time ago but it didn't want to get rid of my good orion shell

[Sunil_FiestaRS_16V]

It'll be sweet. My dad's pulls from about 1,250 rpm, pulls strongly from 2,000+, very driveable motors.

sounds good, wish id gone for a madder spec now. I was gonna but was put off cause its my every day car and it needed to be good in traffic.

[heeman10]

TBH the Caterham's an utterly driveable car. It's never overheated, doesn't judder, pulls away fine, pulls from low revs...not too sure about economy, but in terms of reliability it's been solid.

[krsi]

Just out of interest, what RON fuel would have to be used at 13:1 compression? Would optimax be OK?

[freak power]

Super or Opimax with some octane booster

[chumkila]

Absolutely awesome!!

I've been awaiting this unveiling for ages now!!

[Sphinx]

Amazing!

[andyhardy]

Awesome - fancy selling me the engine cheap, I'd like to stick it in a mk2 Escort!

[freak power]

Chumkila.. Would of got it done alot sooner but i've been doing other peoples cars

andyhardy... I'll let you know when i come to sell it as i would like to put a N/A Cossie lump, ST170 or Duratec lump in it at a later date when i've finished with the Zetec, just want to see what time the zetec makes

[freak power]

My mate's car has just come off the rolling road this morning with almost the same spec but with smaller throttle bodies (45's) less wilder cams and a fast road manifold 1 5/8 when mine is 1 7/8 and 2.25 bore zorst when mine is 2.5in.

His made 249.2bhp

The spaz didn't get a torque print out

[heeman10]

Ooh are we looking for 270bhp then?

[freak power]

[heeman10]

I claim 272bhp, guess away ppl
