Right guys, I've bought this engine for my budget track car project ( Fiesta RS turbo )
https://passionford.com/forum/ford-r...e-dropped.html
Also got the blacktop 16v head, standard cams and uprated valve springs.
I'm not chasing any sort of figures as i haven't a clue what it'd make and i know i " should " have steel rods but i'm trying to keep costs sensible.

The car was a 2.0l ZVH and already had a 4x4 "60" trim turbo with a .48 escort turbo type exhaust housing.

I have a turbo over the gearbox type manifold now so want to swap exhaust housings to cossie type for the downpipe.
So...., i need some help, do i keep the turbo as is but swap the exhaust housing to cossie type so it'll be

4x4 "60" trim with .48
Or
4x4 "60" trim with .63
T34 .48
T34 .63

Keeping to garret turbos to keep the costs down and been told that the .63 wont feel laggy on this engine ( my old 1600cvh had a 4x4 turbo and .63, was a little laggy but not terrible!! )

Any thoughts, guidance please chaps

0.63 housing will be fine, depends on power output, in all honesty with that type of setup i'd stick with a 0.48 housing on a cosworth 4x4 60 trim, i used the same turbo on a 1.8zvh peaking at 23psi of boost and was a bloody rocket.

What about a .48 cosworth housing, minimal cost and see what you think, the 4x4 turbo is very good

I have got a cossie .48, maybe i'll fit that then and see how i get on.
