Default What engine transplant...

Hi all.

I am thinking of a project to do 'on the side' and was thinking about getting a little mk5 Zetec S Fiesta and Turbo'ing it. I have read that charging the standard 1.6 is pretty crap so i was thinking about popping another engine into it and then turbo'ing that. For example i was thinking about a 1.8 Zetec engine... What do you think?

My main query really was will it fit? I know its not going to be a 5 min job but what are my options?

I want the easiest option in regards to fitting a different engine (so dont really have to make custom mounts or change huge ammounts of things such as management or gearboxes) but also it will need to accept a turbo conversion...

Cheers for the help in advance guys!

Sean
