Hi

I've been trying to do my research on a zetec swap but my brain is a bit overwhelmed from all the info on the internet.

Can I use a 2.0 zetec (136 hp) out of a newer focus without changing sump and oil pick up as well as not changing water pump and aux belts? As ive seen them new for about £850 on ebay?

Also, what is the best bike carb setup and wiring to use?

The bits I have for the conversion are a 5 speed box with driveshafts from an xr2, but no linkage so im in ndeed of one of them. I may have a sump, have xr2 engine mount to alter.

As much help would be appreciated as getting rather confused haha.

Feel free to email or text me, email is ryan574@live.co.uk and mobile is 07748576885.

Thanks a lot, Ryan.

Hi.

Assuming this is what you PM'd me about......

Here's what I know.. ( I have no personal experience of the blacktop.. )


Can I use a 2.0 zetec (136 hp) out of a newer focus without changing sump and oil pick up? - Yes.
As well as not changing water pump and aux belts? - Yes and no.
- You need to change the belt as the pump spins the wrong way for a triangular belt setup.
So. Either fit an idler pulley above the pump, or mount the alternator higher up, negating the need for an idler pulley.


Also, what is the best bike carb setup and wiring to use?
- Erm.. There's a few to choose from. But theoretically, anything from a 700-ish cc bike *should* be good.

I've heard more than one say you can use a low spec ( none cvh ) drivers tie bar with the blacktop. But haven't seen photos, so don't know for sure.
You will need at least an xr2 spec radiator and need to decide on what management to use if you are going bike carbs.

Jason.
