I have just returned to RS ownership with a mk4 S2 Escort RS turbo, its a bit of a project for the winter.

Also I have just aquired a Ford Escort Si 1.6 zetec. Is this any good to use for a zvh conversion or does it need to be 1.8 or 2.0 version.

Just thought if it can be done I have the complete car so should have most parts I need.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks Peter

You want 1800cc or 2000cc mate.

Yes I thought that would be the case. Is there anything worth keeping from the mk6 escort that you can think of?

the oil pump, sump, dipstick and pipe.

iv got a 1800 zetec lying around if interested mate, complete with head, inlet manifold but minus sump and oil pump.... if interested pm me! as it'll only sit around going to waste anyways!!

use a 1.8, exceptionally simple, mine was very good, n/a grunt when pulling off then turbo to push you along

if you want to run it about 14psi or less just convert and done, leave pistons etc std, then drive nice that way, big power and go full zetec but its just hassle in the real world huh

Ok, thank you everyone for the advice. Its not something im looking at doing yet just thouht as I had the complete car then might be worth starting to collect bits now.
