ok, so the zetec is a good if not great engine, but i get boared very quickly, and i fancy a chalenge. i can easily get my hands on a next to new Honda 2.0 v-tech, which without discracing the zetec, is a superiour engine delivering considerably more power then the ford equivelent. i understand that there will more than likely be alot of reconstrucion under the bonet. So, what im asking for is any v-tech experience and advice if at all possible??. thanx , marco. :smile:

The V-tech engine is a superb naturally aspirated engine, but at least with a Zetec they like being turbo'd and you will get lots more power.
I would guess that a V-tech would be expensive, to buy and for parts.

cheers :smile:

vtec's and any honda engine (even the little ohc lawnmower) engines are great

you'll need to use the honda gearbox as theres not enough room in the fiesta bay for a bellhousing adaptor.

Mad Man!!

Go for it though :grin:

the problems will be all of the mounting point are going to be completely wrong (at a guess!) but as mr marky mark said honda engines are completly solid engines that will go forever and then some!!

look @ a honda engine!!!!!!!!!!! they are backwards?? i.e they rotate in the opposite direction and the gearbox is on the other end so it will be a major job to install, not saying it can't be done but it will not be easy. why not start off with the 2.2 prelude mota must be a few of those about by now.
