just wondering, whats the easy way of turboing a zetec blacktop engine, have quickly looked at the zvh route but dunno how easy and how much roughtly it would cost to do, is there any other way of turboing, at a cheap cost, not looking for massive bhp just somthing quick enough, to live with! cheers

 

imo no easy cheap way that'll last. If your gonna do it do it right first time otherwise your'll be replacing broken part's or upgrading parts. It's not as simple as Boltin a turbo on. For a start the focus ecu can't control boost so your'll need a stand alone. Ur'll eat standard clutches, standard internals will see around 8psi. Easiest way get a second hand focus rs engine and gearbox can be swapped in a weekend. My zetec turbo owes me around 4.5k that's with forged internals race bearings, pectel t2, 6 paddle clutch and lsd. Im selling my manifold and turbo if your interested, but iv probably just put you off. Lmao

 

yeah you have! have been looking for rs engine missed out on one on here in manchester too! was looking for a zvh engine ready built, im just getting bored of my car now!

 

there's a engine for sale on ebay at the moment 2.1 zetec turbo it's from a user on here 12 second rst i think his name is. May be able to get a wel spec'd engine cheap.

 

Watching it already!!!! Emailed him and he sed it would fit into focus aswell!

 

A lad on focusowners.com put a supper charger in his focus. I think hes on here too, his names Matt1.8z.

 

sorry about that but i needed the engine for mine lmao

 

you sure you need it?!!!!! lol no worries

 

Super chargers big money aint it once youve bought it and had it set up right?

 

yup totd said around the 6k mark to fit ans supply with omex.

 

I'm sure maintenance costs would come with a price. It's a nice extra though.
