The ford zetec engine is actually a very good engine.
Holds up to turbo conversions better than renault engines and responds very well to breathing mods.
Ford have set benchmarks in engines for a long time, dont doubt them. Youll prob be suprised to know that most of the performance engines...
Thanks to Paul Mitchel @ Infini-car whos sending me the right fuel pump for my Clio.
Been off the road since beginning of July due to no one having a Scooby what pump should be in there.
Well hopefully in the next week itll be fixed and running and ready to finally be sold!
Dont stop - Stella time..........
Hope the cars alright, this is why no matter how loved up I am I dont EVER let people drive my car. May be if Im feeling generous I might let some one drive but ONLY if Im in it with them. Been the same since my first car (1.4rt)
Evo 6 or any evo will lose all its value in no time due to Mitsi bringing new ones out every other week!

Ive never been in a Vee but have given 2 Sapph Cossies a good thrashing and been in an Escort Cossie a few times and can safely say they are still ahead of their time.
MK1 Vee wont be brand new nor will it have a warrently prob. Also - Escort Cossies still more reliable than anything Renault could build.
Id have an Escort Cosworth over Mk1 or 2 V6. I think they look better too as well.
Just think how much harder it will be to drive, itll spin like a nutter, youll need uprated breaks and suspension to cope with the additional forces youll be putting on the car. You will also draw ALOT of attention to it as people WILL know its a turbo when they hear it.
Speak to Nick Read or...
Get a Cossie.
You could get a mint Sierra or Sapph for what your 172s worth and they always put a smile on your face.
All you need is stage one and your laughing!
Get a PC fan and resistor chip off ebay - that should see you for about 200bhp. And leave you about £980!
In reality though keep saving and get a willy conversion.
