rs 1800 turbo

Postby orionn2o on Tue Jul 22, 2003 12:44 pm

I'm using the early zeta engine and thinking of turbo charging it.

I have been reading http://www.zetec-turbo.co.uk

and i myself am also not not for major major power, just something a bit better than 130 ps.

Has anyone followed this guide and built the engine themself?

I'm just trying to think of a good way of doing this job as i also dont have an extremely large bank balance to play with!

Any advice would be much appreciated

if your not after major major power get throttle bodies.

Youll see a good 170bhp (as long as the engine is in ok condition). will set you back about 2k.

To get a very reliable zetec turbo conversion you wanna be looking at shelling out around 5k
