well i bought a zetec s a few months ago, got it really cheap because the engine had blown in it, so now need a new engine but i want something other than the standard engine, want something quite straight forward fit but would like something that could easily be tuned, what would be best? also keep in mind i'm not the richest and i'm not 21 til november

 

2ltr zetec out of a mondeo i reckon

 

wait till i build a ZVH for mine and you can have the RST lump thats in it

 

that will be ages bro, need an engine asap

 

lairy x'flow on twin 48's

 

chuck a zetec in it for now , then ill build up either a 1.7 puma with some bike throttle bodies and megasquirt/jolt and someither trick bits or a Zetec Turbo

Youll only crash it anyway

 

true but not as quick as you'll crash ya turbs

 

I know of a dodgy Mondeo V6 located in Widnes !!

Leave the Zetec S on those dodgy 13" rims and put drums on the front instead of the caliper less disc

 

the v6 would do if it wasn't an auto

gonna use the front brakes off the mondy though

 

Well uve got til the start of july to start getting me the mechanical and oily bits you want fitting when i get back from my hols and it will be my new workshops first project !!!!

 

If you want tunable and cheap, stick another Zetec-S engine in.

Make sure it's the black top Zetec-SE from Puma/Fiesta/Focus.

 

what kind of figures are possible out of the black top 1.6?

 

200+ has been seen from people who are made of money.

 

well what sort of figures am i looking at with say 4-2-1 manifold, stainless system (would side exit make a difference as that is what i have planned), cams?

 

Paul Puma speed reckon with a set of cams, miltek race exhaust, air filter about 140bhp

 

sounds good to me, but i'm going to get a system built with side exit just infront of rear drivers side wheel, already got cut out sorted in my other set of skirts

be able to get it remapped aswell wouldn't i? pumaspeed or pumabuild would be able to i think

 

only worth mapping if you get a set of lairy cams in it and start porting and polishing id have thought

 

With some Shawspeed cams, big end bolts, 4-2-1 manifold and exhaust..then a remap you should see 150bhp+
