people seem to use Calibra pistons which require boring out to 2.1ltr, think you need to mod something on them tho, this is cheaper than buying brand spanking new things which would cost you 500+ alone.
you need to think about which management you want to use.
if you want to use the OFAB off the RS Turbo, with a chip to run higher boost and be able to get it mapped (which will cost you 500ish to get mapped properly, I think a place called MSD is where people go to for OFAB stuff) you can then use the RS Turbo engine wiring loom, inlet, throttle body etc
Or you could run megasquirt with the zetec loom and get it mapped yourself or other people cheaper, or you can use OMEX etc etc which will cost moneys, but if going to do proper balls out I would go for OMEX or another top class kit like that/
If you keep the zetec inlet you can fit nissan s13 injectors, but have to be side fed ones, not top fed ones, as I found the top fed ones sell for less, gutting. The Focus RS injectors fit in perfect and they run up to around 260bhp (I think, I am going to use either nissan or the focus ones preferebly)
Think of clutch, at least a 4 paddle one, which brand new is 250+
If your running mega power then an uprated excort cosworth fuel pump is great, I am using the standard escort cossie pump as I am only aiming for 200bhp at most with my decomp setup on the 1.8
battery tray cut out, with battery moved to the boot would make some extra space, as remember its going to be tight with the extra boost pipes running around the bay, then if the battery is out of the way.. you can place the filter in that general area
but you can get away with keeping it in there. personally I would move it for extra space, as its cramped enough.
cams.. you can use any zetec cams, fast road ones etc etc, ian howwel (sp?) has got some special zetec turbo cams, but I think these are better for like 300+ silly bhp engines
oil feeds. braided oil feed from where cookie said, to the turbo, then another feed from the turbo. easiest way is to weld a section onto the sump to return the oil to, but make sure its just above the oil in the sump.
you will need to block the front engine breather off unless you use a manifold other than the escort one, as that blocks it. so therefore you need to drill either 1 or 2 holes in the back of the engine block, make some takes offs from them into a breather pot along with the cam cover breather.
hmm cant think of much else right now..
