Postby icedmk3 on Thu Jul 11, 2002 5:32 pm

after my last post on engines. i looked at rs turbo engine. problems with the age of the car and catalitic convertors.

best option was a 1.8 zetec bored out to 2.0.
upgraded the brakes to some tarox discs and pads.
and f**k me it goes. sooooo fast

Similar to what my engine conv was... 1.1 - 2.0 (but if u ignore the 1.1 that was only there for a yr or so, then u have 1.0 - 2.0 :lol: )

Glad ur happy with it :)

U uprated the gearbox and driveshafts tho??? I didn't and my car has been off the road being fixed for the last month. :cry: :lol: :bonkers:

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but the 2.0 zetec is not a bored-out 1.8....I thought it was a longer stroke engine running a different crank and bottom end...in which case source a 2.0 bottom end... There's always the risk of overboring and therefore well and truly buggering a good engine
