zetec questions , 1.8 or 2l??? silvertop or blacktop??

Postby russ-RST on Tue Feb 05, 2013 12:37 pm

Well iv been considering converting my RSt over to zetec turbo power , my questions are
: what are te differences between the 1.8 and 2l engines? I won't be going out n out power , how do they differ in power outputs and the drive of them?

:what are the difference between converting to a silverop zetec turbo and a blacktop zetec turbo, from what I can gather the engine mount will be different. and il have to mount a pulley on the engine to reverse the belt for the water pump

this will be a fairly low budget build , il use frst management at first , and will probably run a decompression plate, altho if I get the new job I should I wouldn't mind running the 2l with the forge c20xe pistons , arp bolts would obviously be used. will obly be aiming for the region between 200-250bhp

I'm mainly asking as I have the opportunity to get a 1.8 blacktop engine cheap and local to me

also to add I already have a escort t3 full set up on the CVH and a s2 LSD gearbox , and woul be able too use what's needed of of the CVH like inlet alternator etc.
and advice recommendations or food for thought would be great, iv spent the past couple o weeks usin search on google here and other forums :lol.
