Don't know about mods required, but the ZETEC motors is in the Mark 1 Ford Focus LR. May have been in some later Escorts as well ( not sure)

there is a 1.6ltr ZETEC (duratec) engine in the Fiesta which ar 74 kw
you best bet would be a FOCUS LR engine as there are alot more performance mods for them and they are essentially the same size as the fez engine.....

You need a sump kit, exhaust manifold, induction, flywheel and different starter, conversion for water pump or elec. pump, remote thermostat asm... http://www.turbosport.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=143 http://www.zetecinside.com/xr2/zetectune.htm http://www.mez.co.uk/ms10.html http://zetecescorts.bravehost.com/injection.html So start....or stop reading :hihi: |
