hey everyone, next year as part of my foundation course at uni i can do a project to last me the final year of my coarse. so obviously i have chosen to do a mk3 :)

my initial ideas are:
1. re-build and tune RS Turbo
2. get a rs turbo engine and put in any shell
3. tuned N/A 2.0 zetec
3. or if im feeling like i want to push the boat out.. 2.0/2.1 turbo zetec :) ??? or ZVH..?

ive been reading up alot about pritty much all of these and have a few issues with cost/time etc for either of them.

zetec turbo would be very expensive for me.. especially to insure after, but would be good fun.

tuned N/A zetec would be a slightly simpler project to grasp and i could insure it after as a daily driver... maybe

but ive always wanted boooost!! get a rs turbo lump, possibly uprate turbo, cams and chipped etc etc. but unsure whether to re-shell it or use existing shell (but then again it may cost more)

what are your opinions guys??? detailed help if you can be bothered to write as much as i have lol

Cheers, Grant

Re-build and tune an rs turbo imo mate. Then at the end of it you will have an awesome classic car which is a genuine rs badged ford rather than just a hybrid of some sort.

I might be abit biased tho :halo: :lol:

ZVH can be pretty cheap as its basically an RS turbo with zetec bottom end, but there is a lot of headwork and if you blow the head it a problem.

A cheap zetec turbo can be done on a 1.8 with a decomp plate.

1.8 zetec turbo sounds good, are the pistons semi forge :S ?? anyone on here who has done it i can ask for some advice?

hmmmm v6.. not that experienced lol

its not a proper uni coarse 2bh.. its a degree at the college i went to, so i live at home (no halls to pay for) and because its at the college the fees are half the price. plus my insurance went down sooo much this year :) :) a few quid to play around with lol

more ideas guys :)

yeah, i am thinking more towards the RS route. then i can modify more aspects of the car, while also being better to insure and being drivable daily :)

why not 2.0 a mk3, and t/b it? with the info posted up on here somewhere, you can do it all for £800 or less, if you know what your doing, which by the sounds of it you do. unusual , with a beasty induction noise :D
