Posted March 15, 201014 yr 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
March 15, 201014 yr 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.

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
March 17, 201014 yr yes the same parts can be used from a 1.6,it will run on the 1.6 ecu but it will be shite.
