ztec turbo
im thinking about building a ztec turbo engine using a 1.8 focus engine.
ive got some mechanical experience and very mechanicaly minded and dont mind giving things a bash. will i need to drill and tap the engine for an oil feed? and will i need to change the cranks? any advice would be appreciated

I'm running a 1.8 ZT built by mountune if you want any pics or info? Standard internals apart from valve springs and custom spec T25 with 0.5bar it's 190bhp(ish).
