i was considering doing it b/c my current 2.5 needs about 1 quart of oil every 8 days, it sounds like there's a marble somewhere in my transmission and i can't afford a new engine/trans right now. plus, gas is $$$ and i have the '99 zetec my brother wrecked that runs like a champ at my parents house wasting away.




This would make sense to do if you were strapped for cash and absolutely had to have a car to drive. But then you would have a 105 hp "SVT" When you start comparing cost of adding turbo to a zetec that you already own outright vs. buying a 3L i would imagine it would have to be about the same cost right? Factor in all the other [censored] you have to do to go from the 2.5 to a zetec and it gets more expensive. Bottom line, it's not a good idea
