run standed oil and water pump, oil returns i have put mine in the block, u can use c20let calibra turbo pistons

[dean richardson]

thanks mate i was told about calibra turbo pistons but didnt no if they would work . and does it matter if i was to put the oil returns into the sump . cheers

you can put the oil return in the sump just make sure its as high as you can get it ok

[danny_boy699]

the block needs reboreing for them and rods need modfielding, (sorry for crap spelling) i would put them in the block my self then they are high a nuff and not under oil, all if see jacko on here, he sells them then all u need is a 18mm drill bit

i already have it mate in my engine now as my bottom end is zetec . but i was told to put it in the sump . but just found out that you put them in tthe sump if its a dry sump or summat . so think i will jut put it strait in the block again .

another thing every body is using rover inlets . will i be ok to use mine its off a fiesta turbo

[danny_boy699]

fiesta 1 is fine, i only used rover as i have 2, or u can use a plastic 1 like a focus rs.

use what u can mate, whats up with your old 1.8 zvh mate

it keeps shitting the bottom end mate . so it needs a crank regrind and the lot now and set of shells but other then that its a mint car with a tidy shell its had a fair bit of money spent on it i just want it a bit more reliable so opted for a full zetec turbo . just seen your project and ust want to no have you got yours up and running yet looking a good thing mate

[rst in breaking]

i believe calibra pistons are only suitable for silvertops to get the right c/r

[dean richardson]

thanks mate have you any idea on what pistons and rods i should use . any help would be great cos i dont want to start ripping it to bits till i have all the parts cheers

[danny_boy699]

not yet mate got no spark

your best off using a silver top zetec engine mate, with the black top you'l need to mod the mount, get a front mount alternator kit, mod the sump(as it get's in the way of fitting the starter motor, and fitting the o/s driveshaft.
alot easier using a silvertop

thanks mate . have you done the conversion as i have most of the things like a 1.8 sump and pick up pipe and i already have the brackets for the front mount alternator engine mount has been done and the cover for the hole in the block . and the car has been altered to efi for the fiesta turbo inlet manifold . and its got a big front mounted intercooler . its running on biege injectors and its got a motosports developments chip or some thing in the ecu which is ofab . is there out else that is needed apart from the pistons and con rods cheers dean
