Hi guys I'm new to the page and this is my first post. I have recently been given a x reg fiesta 1.25 zetec and was thinking about doing an engine conversion in it so I can have it as a track car. I know the 1.7 puma engines go in with little work but I am looking for something with a little more power possibly something turbo charged I want to achive around 200-250 bhp I am doing the car on abit of a budget but I don't mind forking out up to £1000 for the engine I can deal with a little bit of welding and fabrication to make it fit. Has anyone got any recommendations on what I could go for or what has been done in the past? Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Focus rs engine

 

2.0 zetec turbo built on a budget, plenty of info about

 

Can you point me in the direction of someone who has done a 2ltr zectec buil?

 

If you wanna zetec turbo it your gonna have to increase your budget somewhat, your gonna need new management and all the other parts to make it work.

 

What's a ball park fighure to get the 1.7 puma engine turbo charged with forged internals?

 

Depends if you build it or some else . But you're need a turbo, manifold, injectors, inter cooler, ecu, clutch etc

 

I'm more than confident of doing the work myself being a qualified engineer I don't think it's going to be too much of a big job for me

 

Do they even sell forged pistons for that engine with a suitable compression ratio?

The 2.0 zetec is usually looked upon as a easier starting point.

 

I can't seem to find any I think the 2.0ltr zetec will be the route I'm taking will they fit easily into the fiesta?

 

Tight but will fit (in the process of doing one myself) if u use a 1.3 endura gear box you can keep the same gearbox mounts and driveshafts and will only need to make a mount for the drivers side

 

Plus some form of management

 

Lms sell a turbo kit on decomp plate for £2000 posted or £3500 fitted and mapped. On forged I think its an extra £1300 in parts.

the 2k kit gives you around 200bhp and 200lb/ft.

Which with the 2k kit you would need to also get it mapped and fit it all your self.

 

Cheers can you send me a link to the website that sells them please?
