Default Blacktop zetec conversion help

Right I'm doing blacktop zetec conversion and I'm trying to use the mondeo inlet manifold

Will my fiesta efi fuel rail fit and work?

Has anyone got any pictures of the inlet with all the sensors labeled fiesta and mondeo as I'm trying to figure out how I can wore it up as all the sensor have different amount of wires ect?

Would a Haynes manual have it all labeled up?

I'm using a st170 bottom end using blacktop head would I be able to follow a mondeo Haynes manual to use info on cam belt timing and rebuilding the head ect?

Any help would be much appreciated

Or would it be better just to use the fiesta inlet and what would be involved?

Nothing wrong with a fiesta inlet if its been worked to fit a Zetec. Last week we mapped a Zetec Turbo on Fiesta manifold and ERST exhaust manifold with T34 Greys and 1.6bar boost. Made great power and had no issues with inlet or restrictions that people talk and make a myth about. Value for money and produced results.

Yes in an ideal world a proper computer aided designed and tested manifold would make an improvement but I haven't seen one made yet, as most people who make these haven't got the £100,000's worth of equipment to test it. Other than jenvey or mountune etc.

I thought the Fiesta Fuel Rail fitted the Mondeo inlet or is it the FPR from the fiesta that fits the Zetec rail?

From what I could make out you used the mondeo fuel rail but mount the fiesta fuel pressure regulator to that risk as there adjustable.

A plastic mondeo manifold does fit straight on though without any reworking, the bonnet shuts without raisers, its also good enough for the focus rs mk1

Myth? lol It's a very poor manifold, you only have to look at it to see that, unequal length runners with two 90 degree turns... great for flow and distribution!

Spot on, no modification needed.

OFAM with an EFI loom.

They don't fit and there is no need, the Mondeo TPS and ICV are fine to use.
