Why not do a Fiesta St Duratec conversion?

Sure if the Zetec fits the Focus Rs engine will not be much bother, look at Xrt/2-si for his build on his mk1 Turbo as he's had to cut some of the shell away going by his build thread.

Last time I spoke to him about it he said it had cost him a fair wedge, more than what I had ever imagined it was going to cost.

It is a monster of a car though, think most of the work was carried out at TOTD so might be worth giving them a bell to get a rough idea of costs etc..

I think it's about 250bhp, which is loads for a paper bag on wheels.

Neil's 'charged Zetec makes the little Mk1 a proper little monster! But, Powerworks have stopped importing the supercharger package, which is a big shame as it's a great bit of kit.

I think they've stopped making them too, all I could find was this

Get hold of a 2.3 duratec (think they were american only but can be imported easily enough) then supercharge it

Bit of new skool reliability mixed with old skool cool - should make an interesting combination

Elvis

iTrader: (1)

are you rebuilding it or is a bloke?

xHayleyx

i am doing it at home .. probably need a bit of help but ill get there

Old skool power! imo a 1700 tuned xflow on webbers would be enough power,or rwd it with a yb

xHayleyx

Lots of people look down on a ZVH, but it has so much torque. It's breath taking in such a small and light car.

Is a zetec conversion on a mk1 fiesta an easy thing to do?

XRT_si

iTrader: (2)

Mega trouble fitting a MTX/Zetec in one! Trust me!

Lots of cutting and welding on inner wings to fit even a RST ib5 box, they are a lot smaller than mk2 Fiestas. Also less room up fron for intercooler/rad etc... Really sre quite hellish to convert in comparsion to most cars!

i argree ive done some of the cutting/ welding
