 Zee-VH Turbo conversion
There's a popular engine conversion available in the UK, called the Zee-VH.
This involves combining the Ford Zetec engine block and crankshaft, and the
Ford CVH cylinder head and water pump. Sounds strange? Well, its popular
amongst the Ford Escort and Fiesta Turbo owners. It allows them to build a
higher capacity engine than the original CVH engine (1600 cc) and it also
allows them to retain the original manifolds and Turbo system. Figures of up
to 270 BHP have been quoted with this straight forward modification. Jim
Hearne is currently producing some information on the Zee-VH and rather than
re-invent the wheel, follow this link to Jim's site for all the technical
details Zee-VH information page.

Another engine conversion that follows the Turbo route, is of course the
Zetec Turbo, where the 16V head is retained. An excellent website that
concentrates on this conversion is www.zetecturbo.com. Well worth a visit.
Sunny Khalsa's Zetec Turbo powered Mk3 Fiesta recorded 178MPH at
Bruntingthorpe in September 2003, and he is planning to break the 180MPH
barrier for a front wheel drive car in 2004
