dgas carb on 1.8 zetec

If i put a dgas carb on an 1.8 zetec do you think there would be any performance gains? I have drove a 2 ltr pinto, do you think it would be as quick?

performance gains over what?

Seen a DGAS has been fitted to a zetec-engined Anglia but only because the builder was going as simple and cheap as possible.

Think the manifold was based on a CVH one

does anyone know if a crossflow manifold is big enough

if you mean to fit on the zetec, no the inlet ports are different spacing(100mm/80mm) i think

to fit a DGAS to a zetec you will need a CVH inlet manifold and make up an adaptor plate to bolt to the block first.

i have the same setup in my mk2 escort running a 1600 zetec and 32/36 DGAV

performance with the DGAS on an 1800 should be reasonable but not too much over the standard injection

Have you got any pics of adapter plates to give me some ideas?

I'm sure if you do a search for zetec turbo then several will turn up.

A common Zetec turbo install to use a CVH RS Turbo inlet manifold....
