hey guys new to the site have been doing lots of reading over last couple of days. i would like to upgrade my 89 escort bonus 1.3 to some filthy zetec power lol. i was thinking of the 2.0 but can some 1 tell me which is the best engine silver or black top. i have found a company that supply a inlet manifold to run a dgav or dgas carb also included is i ignition kit just to connect to the crank trigger coil pack and ignition link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=120384522338

i am not one for wiring so i guessed this would be the easiest option. just need some advice and help on few things

1. what gearbox should i use was just thinking on using s2 turbo gbox clutch
2. what flywheel do i need think you are ment to run the 1.8 zetec
3. confuesed about the water pump issue help please
4. engine mounts i assume just get some cvh mounts
5 what front discs and calipers. have been told xr4x4 and rs2 discs are good option but will they fot to s2rs turbo hubs and will i need to upgrade my 1.3 master cylinder brake servo pipes and hoses.
6. i understand i need a 1.8 zetec sump and oil pickup
7. and last can you sugest a 4 branch manifold that will fit
sorry for all the questions just want to get it right. will be doing a thread on my install to try and help others out. thanks guys

 

1. s2 turbo gear box and clutch will be fine
2. 1.8 zetec or 1600 efi cvh flywheel with holes drilled to 11mm
3.u need to run 1.8zetec water pump and pulley
4.u use a cvh mount with bottom lug cut off
5.s2 turbo brake will be fine or u can 2wd cossie discs and 4wd cossie front calipers, you master clinder will be fine
6. yes you do need to use a 1.8 zetec sump and oil pick up
7. best bet is a ashley system

 

to run the pre pats OE ecu you will only need to connect 1 permanant live, 2 switched ones an earth and 1 wire for your rev counter, that would be the easiest option in my opinion as ive done it myself before i changed to rs2k power which is also on OE ecu.
