Im in the process of building my zetec turbo. I have a blacktop zetec. Got c20xe forged pistons. Gt28 turbo off a pulsar. Omex management. Mtx75 gearbox with LSD. Going to get catcams and pulleys. Double valve springs, arp bolts. Unsure what exhaust and inlet manifold to use, and what power do you think I will get hoping for 300+

99% of people will tell you to use a FRS inlet.
Not sure on the exhaust manifold, the cast ones are fine to a degree I think.

cossieanth

Don't think it will take as much power as in after mate

luke19790_3

what rods you using?

cossieanth

Not sure about Rods could I use the c20xe ones?

luke19790_3

don't think so

cossieanth

Probably modify my zetec ones to fit onto the pistons

luke19790_3

don't think they will do 300+

cossieanth

Maybe get focus rs Rods then

luke19790_3

think they use a different pin size to a normal zetec.

have a set of st170 rods and pistons for sale which will be good for a zetec turbo

cossieanth

Pistons aren't low comp though mate. Already got the c20xe ones. Would like to k ow if the Ross would be good though?

luke19790_3

they are if you use the thicker rs gasket

for 300bhp you can use most zetec inlets, i went for an alloy HO one, but needed fuel rail mods due to top feed injectors.
as for exhaust manifold, get in touch with gary aka crazycage, he has some decent ones available.
a BAR of boost with a decent setup will see 300bhp, possibly more.
i do recommend steel rods art a minimum though, for the prics no reason not to, but then i'd recommend zetec forged pistons instead.

Will st170 pistons and rods fit with a silvertop block?

luke19790_3

they should do, i was going to fit them in a blacktop.

Keep standard cams for that power.

the st170 pistons won't fit the silver top
