Well seeing as my turbo gave up on me a few weeks ago i came to the decision that its time for abit more power so a zetec turbo engine is called for, i dont want stupid amounts of power but a nice reliable 300bhp would be nice, so today i set about stripping the cooler and rad as i had a few spare hours, the engine will be coming out next weekend and then it will be a case of stripping the engine bay bare as im doing a full engine bay resto whilst its empty, not many pics but you get the idea.... oh yeh going to get a cover for it later whilst im doing it

Not wanting to diss anyone, have a good check of the jamsprt engine. Heard a horror story about the use of wrong head bolts (too short) on a ZVH conversion.

As I said didnt want to diss anyone, I had heard a story from a mate I have never been to Jamsport so cant really say!

well just to let you lot know whats happening, the zetec turbo engine i was supposed to be buying fell thru so i have brought a zetec block and new eagle steel rods and je forged pistons off BIG WILL 85 , i hopefully will be picking them up this weekend so i can start the engine build, i spent most of the day on sunday striping the loom out the car, what a nightmare but its done now, sorry did`nt get chance to get pics but will be finishing stripping the bay this weekend so will get lots of pics of bay and the engine bits.

just a quicky to keep ya posted

Craig - if you've got £2000 i've actually got a Power Engineering built 2.0 Zetec Turbo engine with 5000 miles on

Made 300bhp VERY nicely

If not - i'll look forward to hearing from you about picking the rods and pistons up!

You're in for a treat

unfortunatly m8 i aint got 2k at the mo as im saving as i go, to be honest i think i`d rather build one myself anyway, thats half the fun

Very nice mate looks like my mates turbo
