nutta121 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 £700 is a drop in the ocean to the total cost of a zetec turbo conversion. Don't kid yourself! i realise its gonna cost a couple of grand minimum but thats if i stop there lol what i ment was that are there any other things i should know about and infact get before other things start? would port n polished heads be good for this? or a must? i could get the big end bearings n stuff and realy get bits together before i start cant i lol any advise on were the best place to get bits from is or anything? any advise is surely greatful :-) £700 is a drop in the ocean to the total cost of a zetec turbo conversion. Don't kid yourself! hey stu ive just had a look at your guides and with the ares six engine package do they do 2.1 or is that purley 2.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Most "2.1" engines aren't 2.1 at all, they're 2045cc which is 2.0 if you round it correctly. You'd need to go to 86.25mm+ bore size to get a true 2.1. The reality is you'd never notice a difference between the two. You don't need to use a 2 litre engine to turbocharge. In some ways the 1.8 is better for turbocharging as it has better cooling around the cylinders than the 2 litre. However, i've never seen a 2L fail due to cylinder cooling issues so it's not really a problem. There are a lot of things to these conversions beyond a shopping list and to be honest it's more than you'll find out on forums. I highly recommend you buy a complete engine package from someone like Area Six as you'll save yourself a lot of trouble in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
