Hi everyone I have everything off my efi turbo engine except the block I was thinking of building a zvh engine or should I do a zetec turbo conversion which is the easiest and cheapest option? Also which zetec engine should I use 1.8 or 2.0 and black top or silver top if I was to do the zvh conversion?? Cheers mark

 

Zetec turbo.

 

personally I would go Zetec turbo! I would go blacktop 2.0l using all FRS stuff or you can use st170 bottom end (forged as standard) with 2.0l blacktop head and then FRS stuff.

 

Whichever way you do it will cost you a few quid to do it properly.

 

I have two 1.8 silver top engines and a st170 engine. Why not a zvh? as I like the efi inlet which is cheaper to do?

 

Blacktop head Ł100
St170 bottom end Ł100 (u have 1 already)
Focus rs thicker headgasket Ł50
ARP conrod bolts Ł75
ARP headbolts Ł131
Subaru injectors Ł50
Focus rs inlet manifold Ł30
Then use your manifold, turbo etc

 

What about doing a zvh using the st170 bottom end?

 

Never heard of doing that but the head will not flow enough or properly for the engine

 

At the end of the day its your build and your decision what way you go with it good luck bud ��
