What is the easiest most effective turbo conversion on a 2 litre zetec?

Also what is the cost im likely to be looking at?

cheers.

 

depends on what power you want

 

not massive power, just what the standard internals of a 2 litre zetec can take.

 

i would say if you cant do the work yourself its going to get expensive

 

250 max on standard pistons they will be pushed hard at the level, buy one of those piston/rodkit in USA for 500-600

 

what you banging on about? iv just said "what the standard engine will take" so im not going to go and push 350bhp through it am i if it can only take 250 max?

 

i said that standard pistons will be maxed out at 250bhp, everyone will tell you its a waste of time doing it with skimmed pistons,
you need
valve springs (Ian howell)
modded ext manifold
modded rs1800/rst manifold
ofac loom/ecu
injecters, 701's max out at 200
clutch kit
block needs hole drill iirc for breather
sump needs drilling for oil return
inter cooler
cosworth T3 turbo
boost pipes
skimmed pistons/decomp plate

 

valve springs? never heard that they need doing before now? doesnt have to be a cosworth turbo either does it?

Id also be happy with around 200bhp

 

valve springs are to stop valve float under boost , you can run around 5 psi on standard springs and you should see 200+ bhp at that boost

cheers paul

 

yeah i guess i could fit the springs but i honestly wouldnt want something unreliable as hell by running mega boost and power, id be more than happy with a turbo'd 2 litre zetec with 200bhp
