Perfect base now, so crack on

I've not been saying I want a turbo conversion for years at all, I've always said I wanted a bigger engine, which would be the 2 litre. So now I have that I have I have the engine which would be suited for a turbo conversion.

Insurance probably wouldn't be that much, its only about £400 fully comp at the moment as it is, my mums car isnt much more to insure on my own and thats a 1.8 225bhp audi tt

all the info you need is on FT

All the info is in my head already.

The advantage of looking into it twice before lol.

First things first, oil cooler and squirt on the NA lump.

Simples . . . . Will take about 10 mins lol

It doesn't sound too bad really, its just being arsed to do it is the main thing though

_________________

Zt wise... Once I have the megasquirt running on the NA lump, and a zetec lump sat infront of me, I'll have it done quite quickly, Turbo and megasquirt are the most expensive items I need lol

got it all covered there, going for the T3 i take it?

not interested in a T28 on a focus RS manifold?

they work well on 2.0's

Hard to find the frs stuff.

If I came across one I would for ease.

Okay scratch that, few on eBay. Although I don't have the coin now.

As long as they keep popping up ill use frs stuff.

The focus inlet I'm using is basically a frs item anyway, as I'm pretty sure they are the same as the NA ones.

Write down all the iccured costs i'd be interested to see how much it all ends up being.

Something I want to do eventually a nice 200bhp turbo engine would go down nicely.

_________________

yea frs inlet is meant to be the same just a cast better TB and pipe, the ford racing one is cast and rare!

Chris, I'm aiming £1500 at most which is doable IMO

Which should see 200bhp easily, and safely.

The only thing that will bump cost up is me being abit anal on things.

i've spent that fixing my current engine.

Would be worth it for me. Be a bit harder to get into the ZS but i'll look into it eventually.

_________________

Well, the most I'll spend in one go is for the Megasquirt and wideband sensor kit... so if I don't include that on the engine build, I'll be 1k at most.

2.0ltr zetec are cheap, around 100,
decomp plate and all the engine gaskets will set me back a little over 100
already got arp conrod bolts,
already got paddle clutch
turbo & manifold 200-300

then its just odds and sodds, intercooler and pipework etc

bang on mate, most say it costs around £1000 on Ofab management for a safe 220bhp~ budget ZT, will be safer again on squirt as you can map it right for the fueling and timing etc and even more so with wideband



chris best ruite for you going ZT is the blacktop, they use the same centre engine mount design
