Hi guys,

Finally returned to the Ford scene andhave bought myself a fantastic condition black XR2i (pics to follow).

I have aquired myself a Mondeo 1800 silvertop engine and am picking it up on Thursday.

Will be posting progress/asking for assistance as i go!

Wish me luck

First question...

I have a EFI steel inlet manifold from a 1.6 fiesta Si... Will, if any 1.8 or 2.0ltr throttle bodies fit in replacement of the 1.6 body???

I also have beige injectors to use.

Thanks

what sort of power gains will u get from a mondeo 1.8?

XR2i_kev

Not nessesarily looking for major power gains... Just to refresh the old CVH engine. I got the 1800 engine and extra's for next to nothing so fancied having a go at my first conversion.

Any chance in shedding some light on the above question?

i dont really understand the question.
if u have individual throttle bodies like jenveys they tend to have their own inlet manifold,
and i havent heard of a steel EFI inlet manifold.

*****"The 1.6 Throttle body is way too small so you have to use the Mondeo throttle body which happily bolts on to the 1.6 inlet manifold. You do however have to swap over the throttle linkage and the cable retaining plate from the Fiesta Throttle Body. I was told this is a straight swap but in my case this was only partially true as I found I had to cut/file lumps off the cable retaining plate and also found I had to file out the main throttle linkage bore as the Fiesta one is too small for the Mondeo spigot. I think I could just have swapped the spigots over but just could not undo them. "*****

I think that answers my question

Sorry, didnt mean to say steel, its just the stanard 1.6 manifold, but i need to fit a bigger mondeo throttle body...

Please correct me if i am wrong as this is my first conversion
