Currently building a Zetec Turbo for the Escort RST.

Looking for around the 300hp mark and not sure what turbo to use? Spec of the rest of engine is steel bottom end, std head (uprated valve springs), EFI inlet, running omex or similar and tubular exhaust manifold.

What turbo would be a good choice?

 

I am using a Cosworth T34

What exhaust manifold you using mate?
And does it fit differently to the exhaust compaired to the std T3 on a escort?

 

A gt28 would be a good turbo, that's what ime using on mine and it's a very good turbo

 

the gt28 is a great turbo , but you need to know what power you want and spec it from that.

a gt2860 is what i would go for if you only want 300hp and a fast spool! or on the cheap a t34.48 wont be far off it on spool

 

Whats the most you could safely expect from a T3 on a ZT?

 

Will be getting a custom one made so the Turbo sits over the gearbox

270-280 at a push i would think but it would need to be a cossie t3 not the small escort rst one lol.

 

Where can you get the gt28 from? And what exhaust manifold and exhaust fitments would i need?
