neil.cavanagh Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 http://213-04.com/t.asp?Id=74809 cheap engine upgrade for you? at £600 for 160bhp engine I'd get in there quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 That won't give you 160 bhp with a standard head. PSC should make 160 with a VVC plenum (if I can ever fit it) - and that's with pretty-meaty Piper 285H equivalent-cams and a DVA'd head. Project Scope-Creep is underway...

neil.cavanagh Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Myles, the MG trophy engine gives 160bhp (quoted) when installed in ZF, ZT etc etc. With its bogo standard head. Why shouldn't it give that in a Caterham, or more once you've the powerspeed exhaust on that Ewen already has??? Now PSC will give you a better upgrade path I'm sure, but bang for buck this 'nearly new' 1.8 trophy looks good. Especialyl as Ewens current 1.6 has 80K miles on it... time for a new one! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Trophy is VVC IIRC. PP bought one as his project engine. It's not a bad bottom-end. I paid almost that much to DVA - and although I had to grind it myself for the starter and it didn't have the OP, crank-seals or pulley, it *did* have a new crank and bearings.

Debert Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 no such thing as a cheap upgrade you always spend wot u save on more upgrades 😬 Albert Einstein: The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
