Default Which EFI Flywheels Can I use?

Hi All,

Doing the ST170/Blacktop Zetec Turbo conversion and I am having some trouble sourcing an EFI flywheel.

Is it just the Fiesta RS Turbo one I can use or can i use the Zetec RS1800 one? or the xr2i one? or even an xr3i 16v?

Are they all the same or is it only CVH one I can use.

I am mating it to a Ka Gearbox hence the need for the flywheel

thanks

But if you use a cvh flywheel you'll have to open the mounting bolt holes up by a mm or so so that the Zetec bolts fit through it

My query was because Its an ST170 bottom end so I would have thought any zetec 2.0 litre flywheel would have done, connecting to an ib5 ka box? Or is there a specific reason it needs to be a CVH one? Confused.com lol

Thanks for your help folks

Should be fine then, you use an RST clutch too which is why a 220mm flywheel is also needed.

Yup just need to organize a clutch and I can start building it all up.

Going to give it a good clean and a paint first though
