ok im getting my self stuck in a on going rut and some appreciated advice will be most helpfull..
heres the score...... at the minute i have a 2.0 zetec running r1 bike carbs in my mk3 fiesta, its goes well sounds awsome and the rest.
now i was planning on removing this engine to fit an rst engine. (before i had it)
if i convert to turbo it will be from an escort rs and will be running mfi etc. or do i keep the zetec in (which is proving to be a good setup) and tune it up abit more for some more ponys??
zetec turbo is out of the question i must add as i dont have that kind of budget..

it doesnt have to be mega expensive to do a zetec turbo mate, just need to overcome a few obsticles im doing a low budget one now and hasnt cost a lot at all, i would say stick with the zetec over an rst engine as the 2l is more powerfull than the rst to start with and the mfi setup imo is crap!

[wriggley_xr2i]

sell me the zetec setup while you crack on with the rst theres an idea

sorry bud, if the conversion goes ahead then my zetec is already sold to my mate for his mk2.
dangerousdave... i have had a look at your build thread, and i can get most of the parts needed for a zt doing it the way your doing.
if i do choose to start collect my parts, would you let me know on a price for one of them inlet manifold adaptor plates please for frst to zetec? if you dont mind knocking a couple up if yours goes well? thanks shaun

if there your only options then definately stick with the zetec... unless you have every part brand new mfi is a waste of time

yeah not a problem mate, im doing just the one first as a test before i sell some, but i should be drawing it up this week and making the first one next week ill let you know how it goes

altho would it not be possible to make an airbox for the carbs and turbo them

mite have to look in to that one although nothing will be happening just yet engine wise now ive decided to keep the zetec in, i want to get a nice new stainless for it first.
