Parts from america
hey all me again
Ive just been presented with an opportunity, a friend of mine who lives in the states will be coming and going across the pond once or twice a month
and has agreed to bring a few parts across for me.
So before the opportunity disappears does anyone know any good American companies to get parts for a Zetec engine?
Im thinking...
camshafts/springs?
Light weight pulleys and crank wheel?
anything else u recommend?
John

A lot of bike parts seem quite cheap in the US. Maybe get him to bring back a few sets of throttle bodies to punt on.

If you need an ECU it may be worth getting him to bring a megasquirt kit or built unit over, there are a few suppliers of kits for them in the US but
postage and import tax adds a fair bit to them if importing.

Vortech do a supercharger kit for the Zetec; pound is still fairly strong so could be a good buy...

lol the pounds not that strong, im planning a locost build. i do wunder how hard it would be to make one of those kits though. ive got a procharge
booklet here and its just a pulley wheel geared up at 4.7:1 to the charger on a T6 compressor. so if i can gt my hands on a cheap S/H turbo i may
have a go at it.
Also there kit boosts up to 8PSI without an intercooler, ive always been told past 6 u need one?
Thanx for all your help guys
John

The 1900 CVH was used extensively here from the mid-eighties to present. A crank and rods, possibly even a complete engine would be dirt cheap and as
I understand it, the CVH is the foundation for the Zetec engine.
