Hi all, latest project RS1800 has fallen through as the shell was rotten, now decided to reshell to an S2 shell . Problem is that im addicted to boost and what to know how to turbo the zetec. Can it be done yourself or does anyone have a garage in the North West or North Wales to recommend.

Is this a DIY job

it is a DIY job if you have time, money and some know how. Ideally, u should get the parts yourself and then give it all to someone else to assemble and setup. That's my opinion of what you "should" do. However i would try and do it myself then give it to someone with the equipment and skill to set it up fuelling etc. Whatever you feel your up to i suppose, many people have built themselves ZTs and the pool of knowledge is huge in the area which is always helpful. I'm rambling.

 

I have not long started the conversion to same spec engine it is quite easy conversion to do but it dose take time+money have a look at ZETECTURBO.CO.UK
one of the best guides about. Any other questions the people here should be able to help,tommy
