Make sure you budget for 3 times what people say they think you will pay

Dont listen to Ian!

Have a word with Andy.B on here and Proj who worked with him on his recent 1.8 ZVH conversion i believe.

[Mikee_RS]

if i had a 2ltr zetec in good condition can any1 give me a very rough cost to get it done by a person who nows wot they r doin

[chumkila]

Anything between £300-£1500 (just labour cost) depending on who you go to. Silly aint it. But prices do vary that much.

[PhilM]

As people have mentioned, cost can vary considerably.

Depends what kind of spec you are going for, a poo one:

Std skimemd pistons/spacer, std rod bolts, not much done other than the bare essentials

A reasonably good one:
Forged mahle pistons (86mm) - 2.1 bore - arp rod bolts, shot peened con rods, stage 3 head and turbo to suit.

Or the daddy :

JE Pistons, 85mm bore, Steel H Section ConRods, ARP rod bolts, stage 3 head, tubular manfiolds etc etc $$$$$$$$$$$$


In all honesty, I own a sh*t spec 1.8ZVH, yet still tor torque is unbelivable.....my honest advice to you though, if you really want to go through the hassle of fitting a zetec bottom end, do a 16v conversion.

Goodluck either way, you wont be disappointed
