<p>I used this plenum from GBS cars</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kitspares.co.uk/shop/item.php?product=8958" target="_blank">http://www.kitspares.co.uk/shop/item.php?product=8958</a></p>
<p>Uses part of the original plastic intake (the mounting flange with the injector mounting holes in) and the throttle body from a mk1 focus</p>
<p>Not at cheap as it might have been, esp considering I had to buy a small alternator and mounting brackets too.</p>
<p>probably came to 500 in all, which was similar…</p>

<p>probably came to 500 in all, which was similar to 'proper' throttle bodies, but at least I saved the cost of the ECU.</p>
<p>There are probably other plenum options or you could DIY using this basic idea and I have seen ones on various forums that would probably allow the use of a standard alternator - but never seen for sale.</p>
<p>Escort forums are good for this type of info.</p> i would be interested in what…tag:duttonowners.ning.com,2013-12-30:2398922:Comment:1124982013-12-30T10:54:23.891ZDave Adamshttps://duttonowners.ning.com/profile/DaveAdams
<p>i would be interested in what inlet manifold you run....i dont think the standard inlet from the mondeo will fit many if any of our cars, and definitely not my Legerra</p>

<p>Then only thing I am still struggling with a bit is instruments. Maybe it would have been easier to use the Mondeo clocks instead of the Saxo/106 ones that I have. Still nearly done. Rev counter and warning lights seem to all work, but temperature, speedo and fuel could be a bit more challenging</p>

<p>Steve, how about you, Paul and Danny work out a 'shopping list' for those people interested in the zetec conversion, a sort of haynes DIY manual to cover the different aspects of the conversion. Do it for the club mag if it's easy enough.</p>

<p>No Problem. And if you are at the previous stage I and also state that I used the standard mondeo flywheel/ Clutch and a Type 9 gearbox, but modified the sierra release arm to bring it forward since that clutch is thinner than the Sierra one.</p>
<p>I also have the standard two piece sump which I cut quite a few bits from sa as to be able to use a sierra starter motor. Ground clearance is a bit limited, but then again I haven't sorted the chassis ride heights etc yet</p>

<p>Yes I'll have to sort some pictures.</p>
<p>For now though I can say that I used the entire mondeo engine harness with some alterations for length etc to suit the new layout. I also used a piece from the engine bay harness so that I could retain the use of the harness plug and a short bit from inside the steering column for the key detector. All of this from a Mk2 Mondeo</p>
