Hi everybody,
I do not know if I post in the right section, but when in doubt redirect me.

Sorry for my english, i'm french, next of pyrennees, but passion has no boundaries is not it.
Thanks to google translate

I stand quickly, Benjamin, 29 years old, passionate about cars, especially old.
At 17 years old, I remade me a vw bug 71', then a vw combi t2 72', then mechanics on dozens of cars which are in the garage (mini austin, opel gt, vw golf gti, ..... and a ford fiesta mk2 84)

Here mechanical and body are not a problem, for cons, the swap and motor preparation is a bit unknown although already touched here and there but small level.

The project is to make the Fiesta a compact car slightly sharpened to go test the circuit time to time.
So it will NEVER ROAD, I know very well french legally and the risks in France with a modified car, british are better than us for that.


As has doing things, 2l zetec is good, 143cv is not yucky.
There are many drives Fiesta XR2i 16v 130cv
And finally, I told myself that if 2l zetec is possible in a fiesta, why duratec 2l5 v6 will not go?
Must say a v6 170cv is a dream... for me.

So if I post here is for guidance about the engine transplant.
I have the fiesta, soon the ford mondeo 2l5 v6 engine, and a lot of motivation,
but it will be the first time for me

For the prepa frame, I also listen to your advice
Thank you all in advance, I am impatient to begin this project.
I saw a very succeeded here felicitation : https://translate.googleusercontent....2bfP_tGjqfjpcg

Thank you Mark
I saw this post, this is a great job, that's exactly the same engine and the car is a little more recent, I will surely ask him plenty of questions for the transplant.

All the best

Body looks perfect for your needs.
Never seen a v6 in a mk2,good luck.

benjicox

Exactly, for the look, first time, body lift will be avoid , so it was so clean when I recove it, 12 years ago..
I see the v6 in mk1 fiesta on this site, but I think it will be easily to transplant in mk2.
I need to bought a manual gearbox because the mondeo is an automatic.

To the transplant, I'm not worried, just the electronical system with ecu bothers me for the moment.

If somebody have a workshop manual for the 2.5L V6 engine (in mondeo 1997), is it possible to share it ?

Thanks

Ben

It's fun because i'm surfing on PF for a long time and when i look my fiesta interior photo, I told myself that the steering wheel was on the wrong side lol

Where in the Pyrenees do you live?? Im living in Toulouse at the moment. And know a french guy nearby who loves his Fords

PaulinhoT

A brilliant idea for a project, wishing you the best of luck

benjicox

Hi
Maxwell, I'm near to Auch in Gers, and by fact I'm at 1h to Toulouse, I was student and i'm working in Toulouse for many years.
It's fun to find a neighbour here, on PF

Thank you Paulinho for your inducement, I'm really motivated to it

I need to find a manual gearbox to entame the project, and times, the hardless for moment

All the best

Ecu isn't as hard as you think but you will need a manual ecu and you need the matching key. Or at least the matching rdif chip from th key.

You only need the engine ecu. You don't need the gems or body ecu or the abs ecu or even the clocks from the dash.

big_wasa

This is the 2004 st170. But yours is the same principle if not a little easier.




My next project

benjicox

Thank you for your video, I've already seen, but where can i found a manual ecu and mainly the key

I find the program on the net, but it is just diagnostic or programation ecu ?

And can I unplug the ecu for engine transplant or need I to keep the ecu always plug with motor.

If I could find a manual for this step, I think it can be easier, cause I don't like it, for the moment , but I have to get used to

Nice new project

What car will be equiped to it ?

big_wasa

Don't know but I like my ford engines.

I've had the 3.0 v6 around six weeks but havnt had time to touch it yet.

This is the current project.

Turbo Zetec / St hybrid on Focus Rs ecu.

It was going in a track day st170 but I've already scrapped it due to being rotten.

If this is up forsale when you have it cracked I maybe interested.

Je connais Auch. En 2008, ma maison était proche de Gimont. Maintenant je suis à Merville, près de Grenade-sur-Garonne

benjicox

En effet, nous ne sommes pas loin du tout, nous aurons surement l'occasion de nous rencontrer j'espere. Le but est de faire tourner la voiture sur le circuit de nogaro, des qu'elle sera prete, donc dans quelques temps..


big_wasa, I like your engine support, it's a very good idea to do it to start and tune the engine before definitive installation in the car.
So, do you know how i can find manual and key for my engine please ??

When you ask to st170 engine, is it the 2.5L v6 or the 3L ? why do you say that it is rotten ?

Ben

big_wasa

The st170 car was rotten

benjicox

the car ok lol, i understood the engine

Oui c'est possible!! Au début de septembre, je suis retourné en Irlande avec ma Fiesta ST2. Maintenant je n'ai pas la voiture. Je demande donc à mon ami à l'isle jourdain de conduire sa voiture
