Hi all

Building a 2ltr zetec blacktop turbo lump and was thinking about putting it in a zetec s mk5 as they handle brilliantly my question is will it sit in the zetec s engine mounts or will it be a custom jobbie?

Thanks in advance Andy

denis

Cheers guys but the pumas engine isn't quick enough I'm wanting to build a 300bhp sleeper.

Thanks for suggestions though chaps

Sounds awesome

Hopefully will be bud!! Still undecided what car to put the engine in yet though fezza focus or a escort is that your escort in your avatar?

disco-stu

Yeah it is i would say the mk5 fiesta handles a lot better. I had one before the escort it stuck like shit to a blanket

Go for the 2ltr everyone has done the easy puma engine conversion.

Thinking I might 2.0 black top mine. Use a fiesta courier diesel box, the its only the driver mount to make.

Recon with a bit of loom chopping you could run the std ecu aswell.

They may handle brilliantly as standard, but bare in mind how much extra weight you'll be carting around with the turbo/manifold/intercooler/pipework etc etc!

Good luck with it though mate.

Cheers for info guys

I'm torn between mk6 escort or a mk5 fiesta

Zippy is it an easy mount to make? You got any pics of one?

Yeah it might effect handling a little bit but extra weight at front will help with traction

I honestly don't see the point in these puma conversions don't they only gain 25bhp from the conversion?

And disco stu your escort is abso-friggin-lutly gorgeous I'm sorry but if I go for the escort I will copy the look of yours lol don't worry though il put a sticker on it " styling inspiration courtesy of Disco-Stu" haha

disco-stu

I suppose it would be a lot easier to fit in an escort but you've got to find one that isnt rotten lol

denis

same with the mk5 zetec s

Stick it in a Mk1 Focus, imho the best handling out of all of them

CrOwSoN15

Really?!

Aforbes88

Mk1 focus is an option and easiest one to do they do handle ok the other halfs got 1.6 and it does handle well. But I prefer older fords really that's why I'm more tempted by an escort plus itl be more of a sleeper even more so if I go for a 5 door ghia haha
