Conrods are going to be eagle forged ones.
New oil pump.
Custom exhaust manifold of some description.
Inlet manifold is ok for my needs from what I have read?
I might well get the cylinder head flowed and big valves installed.
ARP conrod bolts and head bolts.
Unsure on what turbo but a GT30 garrett or similiar.
Then to build it up....
Does anyone know of good zetec head porting shops?
thanks
ok 2 litre blacktop is a good start but your 1800 oil pump wont work on it.
c20 let pistons are ok but i dnt think the eagle rods fit those pistons without machine work, you would be better to buy a je/eagle package from the states.
get billet gears for your oil pump if your not going dry sump and get the bottom end fully balanced.
custom exhaust manifold...yes
What is the current exhaust diameter?
ARP bolts wont be needed,rods will come with bolts and std head bolts are good to over 500bhp
Inlet manifold will need replaced for 450bhp
neil roper or ian howell for the headwork.
i think you should be speaking to ian howell at area six mate. did you find out what gearbox it uses and does it have a LSD?
