anyone know if this can be done, im sick of getting my ass kicked from corsas and novas, love to bang a redtop in my mk5 fiesta zetec s , as the 1.7 puma conversion doesnt justify the cost to me.

I would think that almost anything is possible with a bit of inginuity

jonnyrsturbo

redtop in a fezzy

why?

turbo it

damo86

have a look at adam's duratec im a mk4 thread. would be easier than a red top i would think as its all ford parts.

sheeks

turbos cost money, something i dont have alot of and my pal has a corsa redtop and its very reliable plus wont be as bad on the old petrol, im thinking of stripping my zetec s out and trying it.

Why not just buy a shity corsa with tax and mot and put a valver into that, would be alot easyer, you could use the cosra for messin about in and the fiesta for a run around untill you build it

Oranoco

Sell it and buy something quicker. There are some rapid as fook Corsa's out there though.

Your sig says 140mph in a ZS so I take it you've got a few tweeks already. Bung on some giggle gas.

sheeks

a like my fiesta and would rather have a surprise under the bonnet, plus a hate corsa's

damo86

as i said above. duratec is the way.

sheeks

that speed was down a bypass coming from knockhill (scotland) on the way home got a bit carried away as been watching the racing all day lol

Oranoco

Speedo speed then not real speed. Still round abouts 125mph in real money which isn't to be sniffed at.

Chuck a duratec in amte and when you need it turboin let me know


if not why not take you 1.6 to shawspeed? some ss4 cams (iirc) and a set of throttle bodies would see most red tops off

Youngdan on here has a smiilair set up IIRC??

you could try shoehorn a focus RS engine in there as well. not sure if it has been done before though. the zetec-S lump isn't going to be pushed far over 130-140bhp.

probally get a 2.0 mondeo engine in there, i get them for £40 which is a cheap conversion

fatboyz

for the money you wont find a cheaper quick engine we built a nova 2.0 redtop 13.9 1/4 we put a 2 ltr zetec out of a 26k mile mondie in a stripped out fiesta si and the fiesta couldnt catch it , and as soon as you say cams throttle bodies it gets to big ish ££££££ like over a grand just for that it only cost us a grand to build the nova , plus it would be nice to see summut different , go on do it

true, i havnt seen a n/a zetec stay with a redtop, but the zetec is 130 odd bhp, poss with a remap it would free up some horses?

2.0 blacktops are meant to be 136bhp as standard. some people have even rolling roaded their 1.8 blacktops STANDARD and found about 130bhp out of them!! mine is 132 bhp running quite a few mods. I'm hoping for mid 140s with the cams in.

st170 engine on carbs or bodies, a cheap way to 200bhp

OldDan

put a set of throttle bodies on it and you'll be seeing 170bhp!
