info needed on zetec turbo!
what is involved in turboing a zetec engine. I have a 2lt black top zetec motor out of my recently smashed up mondy. And the chance of a dead Escort RST. Whats involved in the project and what parts do i require. Ive heard that the power is supposed to be mental when done right. Any info or shopping lists of parts would be appreciated! cheers

but dont forget its not just a case of slapping the vauxhall pistons on to the zetec rods as the zetec rods need to be modified to accept the larger vauxhall gudgin pins.
but none the less get it done as you will be quite impressed

Having the blacktop(also used in the Focus) is an advantage imo as bottom end component's are readily available from the States at a fraction of the cost of UK prices. Your also at an advantage with the head used on the Blacktop Steel Rods and Pistons can be ordered for the cost of a set of UK priced Rods.
There is currently a thread in General section with links to various sites for referance and links to supliers.
