damianc Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 In the event you have a narrow bodied car you can't use the mt75. The Type 9 is cheaper and for upgrades has more available ratios. In fact with a narrow body there are a few other issues. for 2.0L you need an 1800 water pump (~ 30 ) Don't forget a lowline sump for longitudinal installation. ( ~ 200 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wood Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 If you're wondering where to get these bits, try Raceline (www.raceline.co.uk) or Dunnell (www.dunnell.co.uk). Both of these companies sell kits of parts to convert a bare Zetec to run on either carbs or throttle body injection, in varying states of tune. Both are also very helpful and happy to give advice.
