What do you reckon? I've heard that it will make my car rear wheel drive or something!!!
Or do I just turbo the bugger?! [ERRR] doing the cams etc only give minimal bhp and less drivability.

Ideas people ideas!!! :razz:

It's already a Zetec!

Pinto? 20 year step back in time?

- Nitrous
- Throttle bodies
- Turbo conversion

Nitrous is the cheapest, but regarded as 'cheating' by some people. Throttle bodies are very nice but very expensive.

Turbo conversions are expensive if done right and a bit iffy if done on the cheap, spaced head gasket to reduce compression, 5th injector etc.

It depends how much you want to spend.

If you put the pinto engine in, it doesnt have to be rear wheel drive! It mates up perfictly with the zetec or cvh gearbox! If you were wanting to go rear wheel drive, i'd go for the cossie. Or you could try squezing the st24 v6 in there!!!!! It's not been done yet!! Any takers?????

Looking into getting nitrous now.... apparently I can get it for about £500 :???:
Is it advised that I do any other modifications when introducing nitrous?

You can get the Duratec for a little shy of £600.

Any takers on how much a Turbo 2L lump with loom, etc, would cost?

Har-de-har har-de-har-har
