Default ZETEC TURBO "RE" REBUILD WRC EXHAUST MANIFOLD

After having all maner of problems with my zetec turbo i decided it was time to let some one who knows what they are doing build a proper engine for me. Thanks Jamsport

As i was starting again almost i thought i would try and buy everything that i wanted now so here is a couple of items that will be going back in this time..

Jenvey bodies with swedish plenum



Then i managed to get myself a genuine Ford focus WRC Exhaust manifold..



The exhaust is made from inconal..

Im hoping to get some pics of the engine soon so will update them and the car is almost completed so will update fully.

How the heck do you "manage" to pick up a manifold like that?

Looks like a nice wee project......

yeah should be good , making it fit will be the hardest part as it puts the turbo very close to the brake cylinder. Im sure will find away around this .
A couple of small modifications to make to the manifld and im in business..

Beast of a manifold! As said, what power/torque are we looking at with this one?

P.S. It's inconel, not inconal

to be honest im looking for 350bhp and the same in torque.

im only on a t34 with 48 back housing at the mo.

Plus my cams arnt big enough to pull much more prob.

But have plans for some wild cams new turbo external gate next year then wanna push a good solid 400 at the wheels then might add some laughing gas......

maybe

but for know am interested in having low lag and a resonsive engine..
anything else is a bonus

No shame in settling for 350bhp on a FWD car to be used on the roads
