Hi Ian, Thank you for your reaction. I shall try and follow your suggestions. The fan seems to operate normally. It starts running when engine reaches a certain temperature and stops automatically when temperature comes down, also when ignition is switched off. Furthermore, there is an override swit...

Recently I tried to understand the management of the temperature control of my engine. The engine is a 4.0 litre V8 manufactured by TVR Power and installed in a Ginetta G33. The radiator is a Ford Sierra Cosworth radiator (V86BB-8005-AB), which has the following connections: 1. The lower hose connec...

Indeed, the engine is fine now. However, reading articles about TVR 400 SE I noticed a power figure of 275 bhp is quoted for this type of engine ('(Budget) Blackpool Bombers - Buyers Guide' from Performance Car - July, 1994). That would be my ultimate goal to reach for my engine. Was it the same eng...

Most TVR400SE will produce 230-250BHP on the rollers. (so within 10% of quoted TVR figures) Main mods was Ported heads, Better Cam, Higher compression, with flat pistons. Thanks for your reply! It seems difficult to find out the specs of my engine; the only way to kow i.e.what type of cam is being ...

Ask TVR Power they will know exactly what they built. Hi Dave, I have sent an email through the website of TVR (http://www.tvr.co.uk/). This site shows 'website launches soon' and when you click that item one is able to send an email to sales@tvr.co.uk. Unfortunately that mail has to date not yet b...

Hi BV is Big Valve engine, ie stage 3 heads (well ish if the rest of the flow work has been done) If they are a semi production engine as this one probably is they will be stage 2 1/2 in that the big valves will have been fitted and a basic opening out of the area behind the valves done but probabl...

Can you please explain to me what BV version is?

Thanks!

Miel, Power output is what I would expect from a 3.9 engine with fast road cam and stage 3 big valve heads and possibly a rechip on the ECU. And yes TVR were notorius at overstating power outputs on the Rover engines. Although it states the compression ratio as 9.35/1 on the block the head mods may...

This is my first message on this forum and hopefully someone may be able to shed some more light on the engine specs of my V8. Since last year I own a Ginetta G33 and I enjoy my car very much. I try to find out the specs of my engine and while surfing on the internet I found many different specs for...
