Hi, is it possible to install a Zetec turbo engine in a Velocity? Would the turbo be too close to the bodywork etc? Many thanks in advance.

yes it would be possible. there have been vauxhall turbo's fitted to westfields and cosworth and nissan turbo's fitted to mk's which are all near enough the same size body and chassis wise.

you may need some special parts to get the packaging right but it's definately doable.

I saw a Velocity at Donny which seemed to have a Cosworth turbo fitted.
The owner had cut the chassis changed it and re welded it to get it all in.

Mmm sounds like too much work for me! If only it was a simple task.

It all depends how you make your manifolds etc. You can make them to fit..

Should do.

From that pic it looks like the turbo outlet goes straight to the inlet manifold. Surely that's not the case - where is the intercooler?
