VVC head on 120bhp bottom end

[turbo159]

HI GUYS!

Just bought C&B vvc head 170, anyone has an idea if this head would fit my std elise engine, and what will I need to get it running on vvc?

You can get it to work but you will need to junk the VVC system.

With a solid cam conversion, and the other bits you mention, you should be looking at upto 200bhp with the right cams. I am just finishing the very same conversion myself!! Just hope you are better at wiring the new ecu than I am!!

Where did you get your cams from? And what else do I need to get for this head? Did you came across many problems??

Thanks for your time to reply matt.

Piper do a cam kit for the VVC head (solid cams and blanking plate).
The only problems I am still having is trying to keep all the wiring and pipe work tidy under the throttle bodies. The cable fit to the TB's is a bit of a pain, but a nifty welded bracket will sort this out.
The only other thing to do is to run a large bore hose from the air vent to the TB's air filter for some cooler air.
All in all, it was quite an esay swap.

Let me know if you need any more help (or perhaps help each other!!)
