Folks,

Who are the most experienced people to talk to about fitting a turbo to a Zetec? I'm looking for a significant power increase, but don't want a high risk of blowing the engine. It's a 2l Zetec, currently Mountune 'fast road' spec (200bhp).

Cheers.

Power Engineering used to do the 2L Zetec turbo conversation, dunno what they are like though.

Slight change of plan.

Who are the best people to talk to about fitting a Lysholm supercharger to a Zetec?

You can get a Vortech kit for about £1800 which should give a 65% or so power increase, not sure about the lysholm though.

Thanks, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

From what I've read, the Vortech is a centrifugal blower, hence has a non-linear boost curve like a turbo (albeit without the lag). It is the Lysholm (screw type) I'm specifically after if anyone has contacts. I've emailed Lysholm for local dealers, but no reply yet.
