Has many people built a reliable zetec turbo? Was it worth it? Would it not be as cheap to use a focus rs engine? What mpg does these engines run? Ive thought a lot about building one but i keep chickening out.
What manifolds and turbos have you used and what bhp?
If you fit an rs focus manifold can you only fit a turbo from an rs focus?
If i was to do it i would want a reliable 280-300bhp.
Does it end up stupid money like 4 - 5 grand if you do it yourself and shop around for the parts? If it costs that i might as well buy something like an s14 200sx that needs no work.
One more question. Everybody blows about duratecs with throttle bodies over 200bhp, if this is true why had the fiesta with the st engine and throttle bodies in the new ford magazine only something like 180 bhp?
