Mk2 Fiesta 957cc Popular....1600CVH

LewisPR2 · 16-02-2010, 11:19 PM

Hi This is about my mk2 fiesta popular started off with a 957cc crossflow in but i fitted a mondeo diesel turbo to it and got in running about 1.2 bar of boost, did not set it up properly by lowing the compression and all that.
i was going to but i pulled up next to a vectra and he started laughing at my are so i thought id show him whats going on! i beat him off the line

then burnt out 3 piston rings and lost all compression.
engine out

1600 CVH from an xr2
still going to use my 1litre gearbox.
got 4branch full ashley exhaust heat wrapped
k&n
rs turbo cam
vernier pully

going to get rev counter, launch control. spax,

Also for some unknown reason ther are xr3 seats in the front but i have xr2 seats to replace them.

all is still in the process of being done !

The CVH is in but dont have the pictures uploaded yet will get then this weekend

Cheers for looking

pmsl @ the turbo set up but fair play to having ago mate that what its all about

clarke5700 · 16-02-2010, 11:55 PM

you will need to change the osf tie bar bracket so that the alt will clear

you didnt run an intercooler on the turbo i see, can see why rings melted with that boost without one. good luck with new engine mate

i didnt know the mk2 fiesta had the valencia in it. thiught they all went cvh.
what did u do to the carb etc to run the turbo?

danny_boy699 · 17-02-2010, 08:34 AM

looks funny with the turbo on the 1 litre

LewisPR2 · 17-02-2010, 11:24 AM

It was fun to do, it kept up with mk1 xr2I had trouble with the carb but it was the older model as its an A reg car it would only boost with the manuel choke out because there was too much air being dumped into the carb and the fuel couldnt keep up so i made a small 'plenumth' (duno how its spelt) and put a dump valve on it.but didnt get to fully sort it out

its not the bar its the bracket mate. where the alt on the xr2 hangs near the sump it hits the standard 1.1 non cvh bracket. i found out the hard way lol
