Few popping up on turbosport, not that you get much info from that thread. It does look fair average in the bay tho.

Someone claims that the fiesta 1.0L 3cyl turbo has the same belhousing pattern as Escorts / Zetec etc. This is something I'd like to have a go at.

On a side line I'm going to be installing a Duratec 2.3 n/a for now (it will grow a turbo later on) into my 95 Ford Courier 4x4 ute , might start a thread on this if I get some interest . I was contemplating fitting a Pajero/magna v6 but I wanted something light and easy to tune.

Your build threads are the best marty please make one!
 

second that Robbie, id be interested also.
Another thread to follow would do us good Marty.
 
And you are right about the look of the Ecotec too, I'm sure it goes well, but its one only a mother could love.
I still want to do it though.It does look pretty tall, 1/2 way up the heater bubble,and just fits under the tower brace?
 
Maybe a custom cam cover, and inlet update would go far.

Blehh, that Ecoboost top looks yiddish lol. Looks like a diesel motor in a way except the coil packs.

Ok, Deano , Robbie , I am going to do this Duratec swap but the thread might last a while... Hope not as long as Paul Dunstan's Zetec epic length lol. I recently just got the ute registered here in SA as it was from WA , I was fearing a full roadworthy but it came good 😁. I'm going to be entering unknown territory with this build/mod , which can be fun..

rip into it Boss, nothing like a new thread to follow.
 
And if that Zetc becomes surplus, let me know :) 

deano
rip into it Boss, nothing like a new thread to follow.

I Agree!

You have to start somewhere right? 

Bought this lot around a year ago between lockdowns in New Zealand. The car when finished will be a Bubble arched MK1 Escort with a 2012 2.0 Ecoboost running around 380hp/400nm (goal) Will start with the stock turbo to start with and upgrade when the gremlins are settled.
Rear axel is also being upgraded to handle the low end torque these engine put out.

The sump is almost correct, there's a good start 😁

Nice one HNZ!
 
So 2012, I'm still getting my head around when the engine models changed over.
Is about 2010 the last sort of year we had duratec's in Focus's and Mondeos?
Then it went to Ecoboost?
 
HNZ, did you buy a complete wreck, in order to get sensors/loom etc, or just engine and box?
The mark 1 looks like a solid base.
 
Marty you have a build challenge from across the ditch.
