Its actually an st170 engine but same size hole!?

Fit electric pump?

Some sort of pulley to change the direction and use the standard st 170 pump?

machine the block to take the older zetec escort/fiest pump?

any ideas people must have come accross this same problem?

Turbocabbie

you can buy a pump from the US which pumps the direction you need, performance ford have one on their project KA zetec

Windle

any more info or where from? sounds like the best option to me

crazycage

or you could just run the standard pump with a simple pulley,thats all i do and mine is a st170 turbo in a mk3 fiesta

crazycage

Windle

looks well, what alternator mounting bracket are you using there just the standard fiesta turbo one?

AustenW

Raceline do an idler pulley to solve this problem

crazycage

A little off topic , but does the pump of the silvertop go the right way'? as i'm planning on doing a zvh-->zetec conversion with a silvertop engine

Windle

silver top if you use an escort/fiesta item i belive its fine. mondeo runs the wrong way round.

what bracket is that? and what belt did you use?

cheers

looks like a custom bracket bolted to the power steering/air con old st170 mount plate.

if i remember right it's the wheel out of an alternator on a on a custom bracket but sure gary will put me right

crazycage

it basically just a bit of angle iron with 4 8.5mm holes and a slot with the rear auxiliary belt pulley off a focus/mondeo on it and a 1150mm belt and the cvh alternator with the zetec wheel on it and cvh bracket
