Hi i just finish to built my ford escord z-tec 1800 to fit a turbo on.
I dropped the conrods and modified the exost manufult to fit the turbo and i am running on a aftermarket ecu .
I am running 0.5 bar boost and she is running real nice but i want to boost her to 1bar.
Is this possible and is this safe because she is daily in use
Thanks

Here's a decent guide to a zetec turbo conversion

Contains some info regarding boost and compression ratios that might be worth you reading as well as advice on what needs strengthening etc
