Default Zetec conversion owners, or anybody in the know.

Hi,

I'm building a zetec engine for my s1, calibra pistons and farndon steel rods. Was going to go for go-tech management when done but nothings set in stone yet.

Was just wondering what CR and turbo's people are using on there conversions?

I was thinking t34 with possibly anti-lag. I'm aiming for 300bhp with the possibility to go further in future.

Any ideas

I am gonna have 7.6:1 with a GT28RS turbo, hoping for 300-320bhp.

What mangement? Are you bothering with anti-lag? I've heard the GT28RS turbo's are alot less laggy than the t34.

You don't need antilag on a zetec turbo.. when you're producing over 300ft-lb at 2500rpm on a T34, is it really necessary?

Does a t34 really spool up that quick on a zetec? I was thinking more for response when on track...
