As I normally do something to a car and then get told by someone that it was far easier and cheaper to do it another way.

I want to put a turbo engine in the XR2.

Do I 1.6 CVH turbo it and the missus's cabriolet
1.9 CVH turbo it
2.0 zetec turbo
2.1 ZVH turbo

Whats the best way about doing it?????

All sepends on what you want to spend and whats easier to get hold of aswell.

oh, and how much power you want.

Alps Pacino

I have a brand fire 2,0 zvh motor for sale.

Oranoco

I'd personally drop the FRST engine straight in with a couple of mods. 170bhp in that car is ample for silly fun.

Zetec turbo to be done right is expensive. MadMac priced it all up for his cabby and it was far from cheap.

Could just drop a 2.0 Zetec in the hole and add some bike carbs?

Gooey

Nope, I wanna turbo this time

Oranoco

In that case for value for money just drop the FRST motor in and play a bit. The XR2 weighs about as much as an empty fag packet so you don't need silly power to propel it to warp speed

Ginge !

a frst conversion is still gonna set ya back a bit

missing the buzz from the turbo cars.

Gooey

How much am I looking at for all the bits from start to finish

Ginge !

well you need a loom, fuel pump engine and turbo, need to fabricate a down pipe, i/c that fits properly, thei fuel pipes ideally need swopping but you could swop the feed and return to make it work, unless you have a swilpot on the tank you need to keep half a tank of fuel in there, then the clocks become a issue,


oh and you have to find a mint fiesta to do it with too

my mates got one that he bought of dalxr and its a right laugh to drive

may be better buying a full car, take the bits you need and sell the rest.

that way you will have everything and not be looking for other bits you need.

Ginge !

as dave said, also that way you can fit the mk3 dash in it as the mk2 looks worse than the cossie dash

Gooey

I ve found the car, just need to start finding the bits I need

Oranoco

give nomad a shout on www.fordsport.org.uk (you know the site ) as he had 2 Fiesta RS Turbo's being broken last time I spoke to him

looks clean enough.

Ginge !

its not that hard tbh, but does require some sort of of brain to do it
but if i can do it sure others can

Oranoco

Or go on Fiesta Turbo.com as there can be some cheap cars on there. Was a lass on there with a nice white one she'd had enough of only wanted £1000. Then you can sell what you don't use to recoup some of the costs.

Don't post there any more but it's worth a look from time to time

Do it! As stated a decent FRST EFi engine running basic moda will be more than enough fun. Not quite as easy as whacking it in though as ginge said but worth it to wipe the grins off brand new Audi TT owner's faces!

Ginge !

but simon then when they pass you a mile up the road and you got the bonnet open im sure they find there grin again

Fiecos Dan

Xr2 tt is the way.

200 bhp, and different.

may be cheaper to go frst.
