Budget Turbo Zetec Td04 turbo and Frs ecu 

I’ve moved the breather to the back of the engine on that one as it fouled the turbo. I normally run the hole thing as breathing is important. You will blow all through the turbo other wise. This was just a mock up to test stuff.

@@wasa7 got it. I never route it back to the intake, but a catch can instead. Like you said, no need to get that nasty stuff back in.

That one is based on the mk1 Focus Rs. It progressed to a full copy. The 1.6 isn’t the best starting point as it has smaller valves and stuff 1.8 would be better, 2.0 better still.

At this age the clocks are not coded to the ecu.

@@wasa7 No, thats true. But i still need a cluster from a RS? Or can i use any Focus mk1 cluster? Or can i skip cluster totally? The ST170 doesn't need any cluster 😬

Lane Ewert , I made it mate. I’ve made a few. This one is a bit more over the top than the others. I am working on one for my next engine now a rwd st220 engine.

​@wasa7 absolutely dope motor bro! I own a Ford Focus ZX3 and it has a ZETEC engine inside. You're setup makes me think about what is possible with the engine. It gives me to many ideas lol 😆

​@@wasa7 I know this is years ago....but if you can give me some information about what you did inside of the engine to support the power the car is creating that would be sick, thx

@@spacejunky4380 Mahle Focus Rs pistons 8:1 Cr and forged Rods, cheers.

Bought it from Argos

No you would need to weld a flange on to suite your turbo

Being a mk2 it’s a Blacktop, the parts from the Focus Rs will just bolt on. Some bits are cheap some are hard to find and expensive.

Sorry mate I don’t, I don’t have time. I looked into it a few years back and to do it properly with public liability insurance ect was a non starter

@@wasa7 iv done my own before wth vws . I did my mk2golf s3 conversion but these days i aint got time an i need sumone who knows ford motors . Nice set up all the same mate 👍

I made it mate, it’s mostly scrap metal that I wobbled or bought for a drink on my travels. I did pay retail for the 32mm metal tube for the coolant pipes and all the silicone and other stuff. It’s been on my back yard under a tarp since late last year. I’ve finished playing with it so I may part with it once I’ve given it a clean and a paint. Cheers

@@wasa7i love it alot but i doubt a 5 cyl engine would fit on it?

Focus Rs parts are bolt on. Subaru turbo is a little fiddly to clock but not hard if you have some heavy duty circlip pliers. I find the electrics easy, others don’t. I’ve posted all the pin outs. I’ve now stripped this down and made it rwd for a kitcar. Vid coming soon.

What bhp are u expecting?

The engine you see is a plain 2.0 Zetec with a 1.3mm gasket dropping the compression ratio to 9.5:1 and a set of hd inlet valve springs. Lots of respected tuners say that a standard Zetec will do 250 bhp. The conrods are the week link. This is running the focus Rs mk1 ecu so with the slightly higher Cr it should be 220bhp plug and play. I’ve now built what they call a hybrid engine. St170 bottom end with Arp’s Zetec top end with the st170 inlet valve springs and a 1.8mm hg. These are “rumoured” to be good for nearer 350bhp due to the stronger con rods. I’ve not found any one to push it over 300bhp I shall start it at the 220 mark until I’ve bedded it all in, I may just stick a stage 1 bluefin tune on it for a 250 ish bhp or take it to Sabre tuning for a bit more. I just want it running so I can get it mot’ed.

What manifold are you running on that?

Leigh Bufton Exhaust ? That was an aftermarket Chinese eBay special ( Focus Rs mk1) that I cut the t25 flange of and welded a td04 on in its place. Inlet is focus Rs mk1 Cheers

rockabillyrebeljim 2.0, cheers

Hard to say now mate as some bits are now hard or impossible to find. Even a 2.0 Zetec is getting stupid.

@@wasa7 yh man thanks anyway. Would of loved to put one of these in my mk 5 fiesta but I'm determined to find something.

Could not sell it when I tried. I got proper low balled @ £600 for the lot. Couldn’t give the trolley away, scrap man took it.

I believe they where only made 2003 and 2004

@@wasa7 my Zetec is in a 2002, so I'll have to do some research if that ECU will work. What tuner did you use?

@@DARODOLO the Rs ecu won’t just plug into your loom. The idea with using a factory ecu is you build the engine to the tune of the ecu and just plug it in. If you then want to map it there is Sabre tuning.

Big Ray, Focus Rs mk1

wasa7 I am in the States. How can I get one?

Big Ray best bet is eBay or a specialist breakers.. They made around 4500 with just over half sold to the uk.

If you find one I’ve posted all the ecu pin outs on line.

wasa7 ido u have the link?

Real petrolheads would ask 'why not?'
