Would cost to much and take to much time it would be alot easyer to drop in a fiesta rs turbo engine you will need the ECU & loom fuel pump exhaust and think as yours is the zetec you will need the gearbox

It's far more complex than just bolting the turbo on. You'll basically be building an 1800 Zetec turbo. So parts like exhaust manifold, exhaust, intercooler, radiator, management. After you have all the bits you will then need to have the head machined to allow you to bolt the FRST exhaust manifold on to it and the compression would need lowering. After it's all together you will then need to have it mapped (which costs ).

To be honest the T2 you have is really a bit too small to bother with if you are going to do this. Most people I know run at least a Stage3 Hybrid T3 with a .48 exhaust housing and many run bigger than that using T34 etc

I recall on another thread that you were thinking of tracking it in which case I would be inclined to leave it n/a as they are cracking good fun as they are on track

..Sassy posting**

forgot to log Guzzler out

as Oranoco said not really worth the hassle, and imo better off just dropping a rst engine in with a T3

or just buy a FRST
