I have a mk6 escort 1.6 16v zetech just wondering what bits could i do to the engine to increase speed and upgrade it

been covered a thousand times, just do a search!

 

unless you have a big budget there really isnt anything you can do other than swap the engine to a 1.8 or mondeo 2.0 zetec

 

Air filters, 2.0 cams, throttle body etc etc etc do bugger all. Only options are a turbo conversion, or ITB's but they will be hardly worth it unless there on the larger sized engines.

Realisticly............... bugger all worth doing, you may get about 1hp out of a k and n and full stainless but if i were you just stick an rs2000 engine in or a 2.0 zetec

push it off a cliff?
gallon of petrol and a pack of swan vestas :P

I know that to fit the 2 litre zetec you need the oil pump, water pump, sump, oil pickup and flywheel from the 1.8 for it to work in the escort. My question is, can all of the parts mentioned be used from the 1.6 zetec as well? also can you keep the 1.6 ignition and ecu to run the 2litre? cheers

yes the same parts can be used from a 1.6,it will run on the 1.6 ecu but it will be shite.
