Default 16v complete zetec engine to S2 rst

Hi!

I have couple of questions:

Is there cheaper way to get intake & exhaust manifold adapters than 220£ posted from http://www.ferriday.co.uk ( EFI Intake manifold & RST S2 exhaust manifold)

What engine would be best for my use, zetec from mondeo, focus or escort? I think 1.8i-16v would be easieast to mot here in Finland.
How about head gasket.. what type?

Can i use standard s2 diff gearbox with standard size rst clutch ( i think i will buy ap-racing)


Sorry my bad english,

-Antti

You mean?

-Mk.1 mondeo 1.8 or 2.0 zetec engine?
-zetec escort sump+oil pump+water pump
-std. turbo gearbox+clutch.

More questions:

1.How about adaters, are they worth of 220£. Working well? I afraid the intake manifold adaptors..Can i use zetec intake manifold in s2 rs turbo chassis? Can i use EFI intake manifold injectors in zetec intake manifold?
2. What head gasket should i use?
3. Would standard pistons hold 15 psi of boost if shimmed bit for lower compression?

you can do 1.8 too yes.
but 2.0l is best for cheap power.
why not fit an escort gti inlet manifold as in my siggy pic?
it fits with no mods and there is plenty of room to change the injectors for direct feed items.
the efi intake is harder to fit big injectors in i believe.
a metal head gasket, probably focus rs item.
i dont think std pistons will take much psi if skimmed.
maybe two metal head gaskets and a decomp plate along with arp head bolts will work better but still not cheap.
you really need vauxhaull pistons and a rebore.
