Default Zetec Turbo build

Today I started to remove parts from the zetec lump....

I have now decided that my escort will run a full zetec turbo looking to push about 230bhp, cant wait to get it all sorted foooking sweeet..

Full pics of a hours works removing a few things

the lump



inlet removed



side shot



rocker off, will be a nice colour at the end, not sure what yet though any ideas?



oooh what lurks beneath



close up



Hopefully the manifold and the head will be off tommorrow...

I am currently looking around for the pistons, not sure as to what ones yet?

Its a 1.8.. I know the the 2.0l would be better but this was very cheap and still good for a decent power figure better than chumpy cvh
