I've been thinking about my 2+2, it's probably the quickest Quantum I've owned. The last one I had was running a 1.6 CVH with twin 40 DCNFs and a Kent CVH22, which was OK, but still a bit slow. The current one is a 1.6 CVH turbo EFi, with a 165 chip and standard injectors. I think it'd

Hi Andy, I too had a CVH with twin DCNFS and Kent cam. It produced around 120 and I had it for 8 years. It was great fun although lacked out and out power for overtaking. I was fortunate to buy a Zetec turbo powered 2+2 in May this year. Those who have been on here for a good few years will

I had, now with Rob, a 2.0 Zetec turbo. About 250 bhp and more than enough for a FWD. Matt On 23 Sep 2014, at 10:18, AndyH andy.hawo...@gmail.commailto:andy.hawo...@gmail.com wrote: I've been thinking about my 2+2, it's probably the quickest Quantum I've owned. The last one I had was running

Sorry if I have miss lead anyone? my car has a Zetec engine. I know it had a 1.8 in and now a 2ltr because I have two separate rolling road print out carried out by Quantum themselves. The latter 2ltr shows it as 188.3bhp. It has m/cycle throttle bodies but to make this bhp it must also have

The speedo was pretty accurate compared to standard as I changed the drive cog although still 5% over read. Ahem how do you know the speedo goes off the end ;-) Miss her, but realisation I have no time for two cars alas. Still trying to decide if I buy an m135i as my every day car. Heart says

My 2+2 was putting out 260bp about 10 years ago when it was last on a rolling road. That’s from a 2.0 ZVH with a standard 2.0 Zetec bottom end, custom CVH head from the same person that did Mathews, a Piper 285T cam and a standard T3 turbo. Most of that power is coming from the big valve head.

At these powers, the power I think would make no real difference, it will come down to driver skill in getting the power down and the gear changes. I struggle getting quick gear changes in my diesel BMW these days and that has a much better box than the old fords. Next car will be an 8 speed

I mostly drive on the low boost as on anything other than a very dry road it just spins the wheels. It certainly has surprised a few people that I've taken for a run. They never believe me when I tell them how quick it is until they experience it. It's being well used Matthew. Another 300

from my general understanding and asking a mate '165-170 with standard head and sports exhaust and MTB throttle bodies or carbs. Maybe a bit more with head porting matching to manifold' I reckon that is a bit hight about 150 - 160 is more reasonable for standard cam all at the flywheel..
