ive got a blacktop zetec engine,and before its fitted to my car,im now considering turbocharging it ........ how different is it to the focus rs unit? would focus rs rods and pistons fit as im only planning on 300bhp tops....... I know whats involved with turbo'ing silvertops.....but never really looked into blacktops. Just really want to know if the blacktop zetecs are the same(apart from rods/pistons) as focus rs units?

 

i don't know if the standard rods and pistons will do 300bhp but the cams are good for 350bhp and the head will do about 310 with uprated valve springs

 

where can these be bought from?

 

i take it you mean the valve springs? ian howell Ł130

 

yes sorry the valve springs, thanks

 

oh right,ive heard the rods and pistons are good for just over 300. are the actual engines the same(apart from rods/pistons/cams and valve springs?

 

Pretty much..

 

ah.......good stuff
