Hey guys, at the start of planning a zetec turbo conversion for my MK2. i will be using a 2.0L blacktop, 5 speed gearbox from a supra and borg warner diff.. just looking for anyone who has done something similar or any information that would help in regards to manifolds,turbos and ecu or any hints in general that could help .. thanks in advance 

RWD motorsport in the UK to get Toyota W series adaptor bellhousing. They're a hydraulic clutch design.
If you can find a ST170 focus motor, use the bottom end, put a 2l blacktop head on it with the ST170 valve springs= perfect turbo motor
 

Jenvey do a Zetec turbo manifold. $3000 AUD but hell it looks good. And power up to 500HP
 
Exhaust manifold would need to be custom. All the off the shelf ones are designed for front wheel drive. I've seen people buy them for escorts with plans to modify. Just go for a good steampipe mani straight up. ECU, Haltech platinum Sport 1000
 

in love with that manifold already lol but is quite pricey! have you does this conversion before ? what turbo would you recommend 

I have a tuning book on zetec motors and they claim almost 400bhp from a stock engine....except cams and ARP rod bolts.
As for exh manifold, you can use the std focus one, or buy Spa cast exh manifold , with the intake you could make one up as there's not much for rwd ....however there is a Rover 220turbo intake that can be fitted by making an adapter plate(big in UK) , I have one I'm going to use on my zetec . valve springs can be sourced from Peugeot 1.9 GTi from memory, or simply fit washers to up the lb rate.
PM me if you need more info...ecu, clutch etc

No, but researched it extensively :D
Garrett GT2860R. It's the ball bearing turbo from Japanese S14 S15 silvia. Aussie silvia's had bush bearing

Oh, anything over around 400bhp the oil pump starts to fail. Also the block could crack but rare .

will pm you mate for sure thanks for your help.. i just want to build something fun and that can be quick off the line.. for start i dont plan on touching the internals but have read about the rod bolts needing to be changed
 

Marty you can use the HO manifold from a UK RS1800 for cheap inlet
 

know where i could buy one ?
