Been offered some fez rst parts, can the standard engine be turbod? What dose it take to do the conversion or is it better to throw the rs turbo lump in?
Advice needed please

 

fiesta rs turbo bits wont be any good as the turbo is on different sides of the engine to yours

you could thow in the whole rs turbo set up and use a mk5 escort cvh powere steering pump and covert your power steering system to work with it

but i would (if i was you)

get a 2.0 silvertop zetec and strip it down and use c20let pistons with the standard rods machined to fit with these and then fit arp rod bolts and focus rs gaskets and plugs and devil development valve springs, this will be good for 270bhp

then use a stage3 t3 and ofab management from a fiesta turbo and get a ofam ecu from boost monkeys and plug into the ofab set up.

 

What he said..I have the same spec engine except on a t34.48 and kms management and its running 20psi all day with no problems so I imagine the best part of 300bhp so good useable fun in a fiesta

 

chris if your gonna do it might as well for the relativley cheap cost just chuck a 2.0 zetec turbo in

 

Just a idea bouncing round as been offered some bits cheep, bit of boost well I build the cosworth up. But think its gona cost to much considering I'd have to pay labour. So keep the zs as mint as it is and screw it round oulton park as she sits..
Need to keep focust on the cosworth! Don't help I've still got that t34.63 on a shef starring at me lol
Need boost and a flutter

 

is that the t34 i never bought lol!

 

Yep it's the one rs mat has dibs on when I get back home.
U got an amazing deal with what you got of ajc what he doing with his saph?

 

it really was an offer i could not refuse mate , he is of course upgrading i can see 500+ coming knowing andy

 

If its just a second car to use for now, cams, and bodies and suspension and brakes and spend the rest on the cossie

 

It's got a few nice bits on it already, just missing boost ha haa
