ok lets have the pros, cons, prices, power outputs, and originality of either:

1: Puttin a RST lump in my fez... or
2: Gettin another 1.6 cvh from a breakers and goin balls out on it? and i mean cam, head & bottom end work, twin 45's... the lot.

[ERRR] do ya'll recon? the twin 45's might be fun

[AndyBlackFRST]

hmmm I have a spare engine somewhere... And not in that 2i oputside yours

[chumkila]

turbo.

[Andy Si]

Turbo

[Mexi]

why dont you go the twin 40 route on an 1800 zvh or zetec?

nothing like a sweet n/a engine

[Mr Jungle]

I like the sound of the Twin 40 route, thinking about it myself !!!!!! Juyst imagine the blast of power you will get, right on the second you need it!! And the noiseeeeeee.

Be different, go Tiwn 40's

(Sounds like an Advert iknow)

[Robin]

Ah tom m8 u can't have twin 40s on a zvh m8 [ERRR] its a turbo'd engine

[Mr Jungle]

I was under the impression a ZVH is a CVH with a Zetec bottom end, used for Twin 40 coversion ?!?!?

the zvh is used with a turbo'd cvh head [ERRR] the zetec bottom end is stronger than the standord 1 letting u run more power with a bigger capasatie (spelling)

i may be wrong but u wouldn't need to have a stronger bottom end if u are running a non turbo as u are only lickly to be pushing 145bhp out of a cvh engine

[spen]

I don't understand!!!!
Aren't twin 40s carburettors?
Don't engines either have carbs or injection? If so how can you put carbs on an engine with injection? Whats the difference between 40s and 45s? I'm not too clued uphere guys!!!

[Robin]

yes 40s are for carbs but u can run them on an injection car but u remove the managment side of things. But not on a zvh convertion

the difference between 40s and 45s is the size of them.

[xr2i 1649]

i have a balls out 1.6 cvh (but no 45's) and i think it was not the way 2 go as if u go 4 the 2.0L zvh and alpha thottle bodies its we still give u (175bhp ) o i get from 1649 and all the bit u can get (but no 45's)132bhp but thats wot i think

[Mr Jungle]

All i wanna know is, can i take away the Efi side of things, and easily fit a pair of 45 Webbers.

[chumkila]

yes.

[AdrianFRST]

You can run carbs on a ZVH, ZVH is just a CVH head and Zetec bottom end. If you don't want it turbo'd you just keep the std compression Zetec pistons.

You can junk the EFi and fit carbs but it's a bit of a backward step.

Carbs sound nice but they are expensive and drink fuel. They also idle and run roughly in winter and need setting up perfectly.

Carbs are great for old skool motors but in such a modern car an RST lump will be cheaper, easier to tune, faster and more fun!

[Choosey]

the master has spoken

Couple of other things to think about;

Dump valves
Turbo burble
Very large bore exhausts
Being able to start the car first time in the morning (remote start alarms )
Vrooom-ptiiiiishhhhhhhh

[Ian C70T5]

Andi..

Just something to think about..

Remember driving to Doncaster.. Remember me pulling next to you at 70mph and dropping the gear as you did at same time.. remember where i went..

Enough remembering.. DO IT!

[Mr Jungle]

Im just worried about how much a Turbo Conversion would be as i dont wanna buy a whole new RST, i wanna stick with my XR as its so sweet
