it was a saab 2.3 turbo the omega box fits stright on but i dont think it would of lasted long lol.i tryed it fit a mt 75 but i couldnt be arsed to make the plates. i was just thinking 2.3 turbo lol. but iam gonna keep it simple for now make my life easyer for now. i might even buy some forged rods and pistons for the zetec yet and turbo that ill see how things go.
adam

This looks like its going to be one mean machine when completed! keep up the good work :y:

I like this car

Ahhh, gotcha. I didn't think the B234 motor had the GM bolt pattern. I know the later B204 did as that was an Ecotec bottom end.

Good plan with the Zetec, but the rods are not a necessity unless you're going for real big power. I'm using stock rods in my brothers 277bhp 2.1 mk6 Escort without any ill effects. Might as well save the money and spend it on the turbo :y:

Nice work though. Will be nice to watch it progress.

I can't wait to watch this progressingggg

close ratio type 9 gearbox oooooooooohhhhhhhh getting there lol
adam

pics a bit crap done them with my phone

ive done loads to the back end as well ill put some more pics up soon. ive just gotta box everything in and make a few mounts for the gearbox but iam not far away now all the hard works done. i think lol
adam

good read so far. as others have said i do hope that your adding lots of bars and strengthening platforms into the rear due to the rear end being paper thin!

see youve got plenty of saxo parts to sell on now aswell lol!

oooo getting close get a vid when finished

hi yes ive made a sub frame thats been welded across the boot and the diff bolts to it so its solid now. but ill have to test it when its done i can always add some more to it. ive gotta brace the front a bit aswell where ive cut the tunnel. iam trying to keep it as light as possible but safe
adam

looking good mate keep us updated :y:

oh iam gonna it will break or i will have no tyres left after lol
adam

you prob have noticed that i havent used a mt 75 gearbox like i said i was gonna but this type9 come up cheap so i had it.i can always change it later if it breaks.
