Default cheap low boost zetec turbo?

Rs1800-xr2i zetec for example, would it be easy to get 200bhp from one easily and be reliable?

Ferriday decomp plate+ erst manifold adaptor
T3 erst turbo
OFAB fiesta management
beiges?
frst fuel pump?
anything else?

cheers

I'd personally use a FRS manifold and a T25 rather than faffing with the RS Turbo stuff.

It's do-able though, seen a few floating about over the years.

I'm sure you could turbo it, but I think you'd get far better results from a 1.8/2.0 lump, especially with how cheap they are these days.

Can't say I do mate, but only lived here a couple of years!

The 2.0's will handle it much better, and allow you to go much higher should you need more power!

well for the money ive got to spend (Ł1500) a fiesta si seems the cheapest for what i need, im even wondering if the pistons and rods from a rsturbo will fit, id be happy with 170-180bhp, i dont want a cvh because i dont like them

Cheers
