I'm going round the track next yr too which should be good

Mk4 Rick

it could be the fuel relay or the pump.If it was the imobiliser I shouldn't be getting a spark should I?

Depends if your running the fezza imob or mondy imob as not all shut both off some shut off just the fuel

Mk4 Rick

Fezzer imob whats one of them lol I ripped it out yonks ago .Im running the mondeo one now lol.Ive sorted it now any way it was a relay water got in it.I had to replace it with a tempory one for now till I get a proper one.When I did the engine conversion I didn't add mondeo loom to the fiesta fuse box so the wires were just hanging there in the engine bay lol.It will take me a weekend to do a rewire and sit it all in the fiesta fuse box like it was always there.But its all good now im up and running thank fuck.

Lol glad its sorted, I'm so funny with wiring it has to be spot on otherwise it stresses me out lol

Mk4 Rick

Got the Mondeo front brakes fitted today 300mm jobbies.The brakes haven't bedded in properly yet an i tell the difference already.The conversion is well worth it imo,im using the five stud discs as well and made them so there four stud lol.My nxt things to do are stick the battery in the boot and fit my mondeo servo.One other thing is im after an intercooler that i can have fitted in the engine bay so its not obvious that its turbo charged.I did think of mounting a pc fan to it to keep the temps down on the intercooler with it being in the engine bay area preferably nr where the battery would have gone.I wonder how much a fiesta rs turbo intercooler would flow and would it be enough to cope with 200 bhp.

Hi bud have you had to use the 1.8 sump and water pump I no you have to in mk4 escorts.. To do the 2.0 swap what flywheel isit is it just the standard mondeo on il also be using a ib5 box .. Cheers

Mk4 Rick

Hi mate with the blacktop engine even if its a 1.8 or 2.0 there is no need to change the sump the exhaust fits under nice and snug.Use the blacktop water pump that's with the engine no need to change anything.Im using the Diesel gearbox its nice and I can pull off in second easy lol.For the flywheel im using a zetec 1.6/1.8 flywheel there is loads about.

Mk4 Rick

I made up a new engine mount bracket today using 3mm steel.Might be a bit over kill but I no its not moving any where lol soon.i then fitted the 2 litre engine mount.The 1.2 engine mount was not up to the job at all and kept trying to twist my engine back and forwards.With this new set up ive noticed the difference instantly just on a light drive.
Next job is to fit my new servo off the mk2 mondeo.Its bigger and I will get a better feel on the brake pedal.

Tis a good fit. Ford should have put it there in the first place!

Mk4 Rick

Cheers for the lovely comments it means a lot

SAV191x

What zetec flywheel did u use focus or Mondeo and as loom is it full or just engine u been a great help

Mk4 Rick

Its a fiesta,escort zetec one.The focus 1.8 will fit not the 2 litre one as its to big for the gearbox casing.The loom I used from the mondeo is a part loom.

Mk4 Rick

Im having my Mondeo servo painted in Kawasaki ninja green today with his compressor should look good and if the weather is good tomorrow I will be fitting it as well.What calipers does everyone use for the rear to replace the drums? besides the fiesta zetec s?

Mk4 Rick

One servo painted lol just waiting for it to dry

SAV191x

So its a rs1800i fly i asume ? And is urs mondeo or focus lump

Mk4 Rick

Ive got a mondeo lump.You can use a focus lump it doesn't matter which one you choose either way.The fly wheel is just a fiesta escort one.You can use the focus one by all means but make sure you get a 1.8 flywheel.This one will do it

Got the Mondeo servo fitted today in the pissing rain but the work was well worth it.The brakes are razor sharp now and the pedal travel has gone completely.i just need to get a mondeo servo plug now lol as im still using the fiesta one and its in the wrong place lol

Mk4 Rick

After changing the Fiesta servo to the Mondeo servo I had major problems.The Mondeo servo was fine but the master cylinder I had originaly was the abs version which I didn't really want to use.I ordered the non abs version and fitted it during last weekend I thought great jumped in my car to go work the next day and I felt my brakes dragging and there brake pedal going really hard to the point I could see smoke bellowing from the front wheels.I managed to get it home the same night and had to use the other halfs car for the rest of the week.Today I removed the the master cylinder and fitted the abs type on which I didn't really want but I had no choice this meant going down from a 4 port cylinder into a 2 port.I had to get some brass 2 pieces and convert it all over.I went to connect the bias valves up to find they didn't fit different thread sizes and ended up not using them at all.Anyway ive got it all working again and belive it or not the brakes are shit hot and doesn't get tail happy at all.Ive put it through its paces as well lol.Ive put it donw to the wrong type master cylinder even though it was listed for the servo lol.

Mk4 Rick

Ive just won a t2 turbo with manifold and down pipe for £25 also ordering some focus st170 brake 40 grooved discs,job for weekend I think.
