Just wondering if anyone has done this?

How much does the set-up cost and what bits are actually needed?

 

hello mate do a search on van aaken (i think thats how u spell it) they do a full conversion kit that gives about 155 bhp if i recall

 

they stopped doing the turbo conversion now, but it used to be 140bhp for £2500

bargain........not

check out zsoc.com for loads of info on the zetec-s

 

get a frst lump

 

speak to jano oddkidd he will do you a naughty 2.1 zetec turbo

 

didnt expect that from you steve.....just exploring options!

 

You could turbo the 1.6 lump but i reckon on £6k plus at least to do it properly with low com pistons, cooler and decent management....might as well FRST it, at least you could pass MOT emmissions then as well!

 

Racing Puma engine is a straight swap and 150bhp standard

 

Even better you Turbocharge the Puma engine using decent pistons with some "other" Ford factory rods which can hold the pressure.

I have worked on a twin turbo FWD Puma running a WRC setup with more power and Torque than we would ever need..

 

ive been offered a FRST lump....but not sure on insurance!

trying to find a 1.7puma engine for under £1k is proving hard!

 

And totally gutless and expensive

If you just sepnd the money it'd cost on tuning the 1.6 you'd see over 150 bhp

 

mossy just get the frst lump you wont need to tune it there quick standard

just do it

 

Yeh but they can then be tuned in the future

 

They are already in a high state of tune and are expensive to source

The money you'd spend on finding and fitting one of those FRP lumps and then tuning further, i could get you a 1.6 and MORE power from, and that is an absolute certainty

Caterham have just announced they are using the 1.6 zetec-SE

 

how much work would be involved putting an rs turbo engine into my mk4? anyone have any ideas?

 

greg kev can do it

 

lots, ud be better off finding the mk3 front end crossmember, suspension, hubs etc and then its a straight fit! still alot of work!

mossy sod the fiesta, work on the mk2 instead, if ur fes dies then get another engine for £150 and il help ya fit it n im sure peewee will lend a hand, ur fiestas just a daily drive man! rally spec mk2 is so much better
