hey can any of use give me a rough price for a 350bhp zetec (NA or turbo) build cusabout to start building my engine an was goen for the sr20det an the build will come to about €45oo so the more the marryer,.cheers

 

matt at MTECH does full black top bottom end kit for 1k thats bearings/rods/pistons/seals/gaskets etc, all you need then in manifolds/turbo/ecu, and a gearbox to cope with it

 

youll prob get 350 hp for 4.5 k in a turbo application if your a savvy buyer and know someone to put it together for you


doubt you get anywhere near 350 hp n/a for that ,


tbh ive never heard of 350 na out of a zetec ?????

 

Hello mate, is it to go in a sierra?

if so im just waiting for the insurance to write off my 3dr zetec turbo.

i will have a big spec engine for sale as soon as the insurance is sorted.

basically i want 4k for the complete engine/inlet/ex manifold/turbo/ecu.

was mapped to 397bhp/386lbft but needed a few more bits and it should easily make 450bhp.

pm me if interested and ill go through the full spec.

Dan

 

You would NEVER get 350hp out of a zetec in NA form, simply not going to happen !

Fudgeys engine would be a good one to go for though

 

most i have heard from a zetec N/A was 305bhp and that had 'everything' done and as for turbo buy a focus rs engine with a few tweaks your there.

 

Do yourself and your wallet a favour, get a redtop/C20XE, vastly better vfm.

na looking to build my self one for the experince cus done a few rebuilds but never built an engine from scratch.an i will have the exact the spec i want.cheers anyways mate.how much did it cost u to build ur zetec turbo? evan

 

Or be different and use a Honda S2000 engine, as it happens I have a lovely one for sale

 

realy dont want to go for a red top.!i could use a yb an make it handy but i love the sr20det engine an it would be diffrent to!but i was thinking den the zetec turbo in a sierra would be easyer for the fitting/wireing/and price.-evan

 

wat size are the s2000 engine's?wat output of bhp would i expect from the engine. an could i turbo it?wats the money lik for ur engine!-evan

 

2l 16v.

Its on throttle bodies and good for 250hp as it is with a rev limit of 9k plus.

I know people that turbo them in dead stock form and see close to 400hp from them in this country, figures exceeding 600/700hp are quoted on stock engines abroad.

It comes with a 6 speed box, fully dry sumped the lot.

Its a proper engine and in comparison to the Vauxhall or Zetec is personally a MUCH better engine.

Its up for 5k but I will take £4250 for it, but no lower, its a 7k package and the tb's and dry sump are unused and were over £3000 on their own.

I agree with the above, been out in an XE powered Mk2 Escort on twin 45s and few other bits and been out in a Mk1 Cortina with a S2000 VTEC engine; MUCH preferred the way the Cortina went. Felt even quicker than it was and revved to high heaven.

100% defo the way I would go if I was to build anything N/A and the above is a good deal. Just did a feature on a Mk2 Escort being built with an S2000 engine that is on throttle bodies and dry sumped and he spent a LOT more than being asked above.

Thanks Si, I'm a Vauxhall man really but I sold my Vauxhall parts to fund that engine knowing it was a better FAR more reliable package

 

well the car ive just built

red fez turbo with the carbon pannels
was on fast ford stand at ford fair

has about 20k under the bonnet
but that includes all the little top spec extras

engine with out manifolds etc built by ian howell was 9k

 

im building zetec turbo meself but if was bdoing it again id probably go S15 sr20 option tatty jap import cars can be bought for peenuts and bottom end is strong as feck work out lot cheaper in long run

 

TBH I hear from people that the SR20 isn't as strong as you think, stronger than the CA but has its own problems so a few are now converting over to using the RB25 engine

 

yes the sr20det would be the cheaper option an it does come wif problems lik the bottom end does normaly go but parts an tunning is far cheaper so it really is the top of the list for me at the min?-evan

 

phil sold his fiesta mate? how much did you get it for? pm me if you perfar

 

who is phil

the car ive built has been owned by my mate for the last 15 years

 

Fudgey how'd did ya find the xs power turbos build quality wise seem to do the numbers on your engine

 

well, it was only mapped and then done 50 miles, and it was perfect for lasting that long lol.

i guess it may be a good investment to have it sent off and get a 360 degree bearing etc fitted. but for £260, its almost a consumable item. if it lasted as long as a set of tyres, i would have been happy lol.

actual build quality seems pretty good. cant see anything wrong with it.

so say they dont like big boost, mine was making 28psi but had very little use.
