Default 1600 rally slag Ka!

So here begins my new project. Building a gravel spec rally Ka for my dad with a shell he's got in frs blue. Think 200bhp from a 1600 zetec se in a tin can As I've said I'm gonna use the fiesta zs engine in a fairly high state of tune attached to the ka ib5 box with a big dirty clutch and a FRP LSD. Sparco cage, coilovers (possibly avo), two seats and harnesses. Pretty much it ANY suggestions will be much appreciated. Got the gearbox, diff and shell so far

the only way you will get 200bhp from a zetec s engine is to go down the shawspeed route

thats....
  • ss5 cams
  • loads of head work
  • throttle bodies
  • omex management
  • HD big end bolts
  • HD valves and springs
  • forged inards
hope that helps as im doing the ss4's on throttle bodies which will see me around 160bhp
