1.6 build help please!

[bhearts]

I kinda think the 54 still sounds best. The 1.6 i a rather small motor!

There's always the option of a fiesta st turbo. Which is a 230hp turbO from a 1.6l engine

Now that sounds like fun there. Seems like it would be the one.

I am letting a festiva go and will then have about 1500$ to redo the turbo setup on my festiva. I will keep all the stuff thats there now so when i finish my build i can take this car back to how it is now. So my plan as of now is

microtech ecu (not the best i know) but it was a good deal and came with all the wires to hook up to a b6t so im all set! Plus i sold my rocket chip making this ecu upgrade 75$ Hard to beat that!
twisted motion t25/t28 hybrid turbo
custom made log manifold from BP Specialty on facebook
will have BP Specialty remote tune it as well.
honda radiator and fan
will then do the core support mod.

any thoughts for me?

I just saw that pic. Do I see the exhaust manifold cast as part of the head? Does that seem stupid to anyone else?

Sorry for thread-jack.

The focus st is single exhaust port from the head. But I think the fiesta is a manifold.

Yeah, wow. That just screams "throw-away-engine" to me. Like the MZR 2.3 and I assume the 2.5 is the same. I HATE new cars. lol

The silver one will be sold! I have britstiva 1.0 which is a now rust free shell (repaired) and now i have lucifer.

The silver car had more rust then i thought at 1st. I will keep lucifer and build britstiva and sell the silver one.

leaving me with 2 b6t festiva's Once im happy with britstiva i might sell lucifer. Not sure on that yet as i own lucifer already so why sell it?

Manifold in head design has alot to do with efficiency. Keeping more heat in the head and having less volume before the turbo helps with warm up. Along with not worrying about cracking exhaust manifolds because water cooled. The eco boost mustang is the same design
