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

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 .

I just sold one but it was bolted to a 1.8 zetec. Best to keep an eye on ebay.co.uk

Sh*t my bad, sorry mate. Zetec bolts straight up to Ford pinto/ xflow box so all you need the Dellows Ford to W-series Toyota adaptor bellhousing.
