General pondering as the list of jobs to finish the capri grows.
Is it a better option to drop the pinto turbo to go for a zetec turbo? I currently have the following spec:
205 block
Cosworth crank
2wd cosworth pistons and rods
Injection head (leaded though so no inserts)
The current fuel sytem needs replacing along with the current turbo (t3/t4 hybrid copy) and the inlet manifold has an issue and needs work.
I also have a t5 gearbox waiting to fit and fly wheel tucked under a desk.
Am after 250 - 300bhp and not sure if this is too much for the pinto, i know it's been done but pinto parts are getting harder to find.
My thinking is i've got to sort the fuel system as it's old and both manifolds need sorting anyway so why not for a more modern engine?
Also on the list is propshaft and axel so engine would dictate these decisions also.
Currently running efi (megasquirt).
So carry on? it's a good spec but the lack of unleaded valve seats and other issue have me thinking a more reliable option might be the zetec.
Thoughts?
