possible, yes.
feasible by average joe with a budget, not bloody likely. the engine head and fuel system would have to be completely custom made/machined, lots of rebuilding, tuning, and a shitload of computer programming too. oh and, stop your damn YELLING in every one of your posts.

No, very difficult and not worth the effort by a longshot. You'd be better off buying a mercedes diesel car from the 80-90s vintage

Sure, very easy. Sell the car and buy a Golf.
Or if you want to make it harder, buy a TDI and swap it into your Focus (I've seen a 1.8T swapped in, so a TDI can be done) Or if you really want to make it harder, import a Ford diesel from Europe, and swap it in. But if you want to go for the impossible, I guess you can convert your engine to a diesel. |

^^^ LOL, What he said.
The stock engine components, pistons, rods, block, etc. Are not nearly strong enough to support the compression of a diesel. Its easier to just buy a diesel.

However,
There is a European ZX5 Turbodiesel for sale on Ebay, or at least there was, and the car is currently in Fla. It's CD silver in colour.

scam also, no, the aluminum block would never be able to hold that kind of compression necessary to opperate a diesel.

In the event of converting it to a diesel, you will might as well buy a MB 240D or 300D for that matter.
