hi all am looking for pictures and advice on how to do a zetec turbo . i currently have a s2 rs turbo thats been converted to an 1800 zvh . but i want to make it into a 2.1 zetec turbo (blacktop) . what i need to no is can i run on standard water and oil pump and were abouts do i put oil returns from the turbo is it best to put them into the sump or block . and what pistons and rods do i use . only wanting around 300bhp dont want to go to big . thanks

 

run standed oil and water pump, oil returns i have put mine in the block, u can use c20let calibra turbo pistons

 

thanks mate i was told about calibra turbo pistons but didnt no if they would work . and does it matter if i was to put the oil returns into the sump . cheers

 

you can put the oil return in the sump just make sure its as high as you can get it ok

 

the block needs reboreing for them and rods need modfielding, (sorry for crap spelling) i would put them in the block my self then they are high a nuff and not under oil, all if see jacko on here, he sells them then all u need is a 18mm drill bit

 

i already have it mate in my engine now as my bottom end is zetec . but i was told to put it in the sump . but just found out that you put them in tthe sump if its a dry sump or summat . so think i will jut put it strait in the block again .

 

another thing every body is using rover inlets . will i be ok to use mine its off a fiesta turbo

 

fiesta 1 is fine, i only used rover as i have 2, or u can use a plastic 1 like a focus rs.

use what u can mate, whats up with your old 1.8 zvh mate

 

it keeps shitting the bottom end mate . so it needs a crank regrind and the lot now and set of shells but other then that its a mint car with a tidy shell its had a fair bit of money spent on it i just want it a bit more reliable so opted for a full zetec turbo . just seen your project and ust want to no have you got yours up and running yet looking a good thing mate

 

i believe calibra pistons are only suitable for silvertops to get the right c/r

 

thanks mate have you any idea on what pistons and rods i should use . any help would be great cos i dont want to start ripping it to bits till i have all the parts cheers

 

not yet mate got no spark

 

your best off using a silver top zetec engine mate, with the black top you'l need to mod the mount, get a front mount alternator kit, mod the sump(as it get's in the way of fitting the starter motor, and fitting the o/s driveshaft.
alot easier using a silvertop

 

thanks mate . have you done the conversion as i have most of the things like a 1.8 sump and pick up pipe and i already have the brackets for the front mount alternator engine mount has been done and the cover for the hole in the block . and the car has been altered to efi for the fiesta turbo inlet manifold . and its got a big front mounted intercooler . its running on biege injectors and its got a motosports developments chip or some thing in the ecu which is ofab . is there out else that is needed apart from the pistons and con rods cheers dean
