puma for simplicity, so you can get it out and have fun pretty much straight away
Very true! I couldn't agree more. But i'm not sure 125hp will be enough!

pumaspeed would charge around 3-4 grand to install a puma lump in a zetec s yet my mate bought an insurance write off puma for 150 quid took the lump gearbox wiring and mount , plus the alloys ,brakes and other silly little bits and scraped the shell for 80 quid , then sold his zetec s engine off for 150 quid ,so he ended up making money .
if money is no object stick a mark 1 focus rs lump in there then it would be a flyer!!
Pumaspeed are a Rip off!!!! I've seen a few cheap engines on ebay. And would probably do it myself, if not I'm only round the corner from Harbey Gibbs, so guess i could book it in!

Potential for 250hp ish at a budget price
To get that out of an NA engine you will be talking shed loads of cash!
I need more of these! I've bought a 2.0 blacktop from a mondeo, cheap! I just haven't picked it up yet. But was hesitating on what to do!! I think I could do a cheap Zetec turbo, only expensive things would be rods and pistons, and ecu and loom. But If i could pick a set of calibra turbo pistons that'd be cheaper!

I agree. But my cossie took so long, I just want to drive something whilst i'm building an engine!! My diesel isn't fun haha
Or buy the duratec powered one of here. Lol
I did look at yours, but it's not in my budget. However, I would like some of the parts if you are breaking!!
