Iss really easy. You will need to put a 1.8 sump and oil pickup on the block to clear the fiesta subframe. Need a "DEEP" or "DESK" ecu and a 2.0 maf. Throw it all in and job done.

wirralphil

1.8 waterpump aswell???

msportbo1

DEEP or DESK ecu would that be a standard ecu form a mondy???

wirralphil

yes early mondeo mk1.

msportbo1

cool thought mounts etc would be a c*nt would i get all the 1.8 stuff of a mondy aswel then??? this sounds like it could be cheap enough to do but will the fez loom work???

Yea your right forgot that, 2.0 ones spins the opposite direction doesnt it? so 1.8 or 1.6 zetec one needed

Sunil_FiestaRS1800

iTrader: (1)

Yea plug and play in a Si .

msportbo1

the standard 1 then off my engine then thou sayin that i have a feeling i need a new 1 anyway.... chuffed now the task begins u reckon i could do it for 3-400 quid?!?! fancy having this done befor the first show over here in march. the damn thing is away at the min getting new sills front wings rear panel and fixed chassis rail

Ive sort of misinformed you, you dont have to use 1.8 zetec stuff can use all the bits off your 1.6 engine instead. So could be done really cheap

Amy

I had that done to my XR2i when I had it and it cost me about Ł1500!!!

Bungle

Who the fuck charged you that much???? It can be done in an si for 200 quid and you'd still have change although that would be doing it yourself

lukemakepeace

could i do that on my 1.6 escort? will the 1.6 loom etc be fine and does it just drop in and work?

Amy

LOL I had it done about 4 years ago had a 2.0 black top zetec engine from a written off focus in there but was running it on 1.6 wiring loom etc...

Seemed reasonable at the time!!

gar mae

Don't do it like the Chopshop did it and transfer the front of the mondeo inc. suspension into the fiesta

Might be more info for you on www.fiestaturbo.com

philpy-si

Didnt think the mondeo ecu would work in the fiesta wiring loom?

Bungle

Yes and yes just change the engine parts as listed above and obviously ecu

Amy

It didnt with mine I had to use the 1.6 ecu which I later changed to megasquirt management with the 1.6 wiring loom

Bungle

I had previously heard you had to change a couple of pins around on the ecu but maybe if you use the ecu's listed above you dont have to???

Amy

My megasquirt worked but overfueled hugely which was a pain in the ass

Mind you, my saph overfuels so damned if you do and damned if you dont. good job I like the smell of petrol eh?!

msportbo1

so do i use the fez ecu or the 2 ecus listed oh yea i for got to say manifold inlet and exhaust mondy or fez????

msportbo1

any ideas

Ive been running a "DEEP" for some time as have others. Its plug and play in a 1.6Si . Im gonna ut my pectel T2 on soon though when i get it back on the road


Ideally you want rs1800 exhuast and inlet as they are straight fit. There are loads of other options though like a focus inlet (thats what im running), modded st170 exhaust manifold etc

msportbo1

wud the si manifolds not fit? or the mondeo ones

Sunil_FiestaRS1800

iTrader: (1)

Si ones would fit but would restrict power, mondeo inlet is to big to fit in the bay as it will foul the break bar thingy, not sure about mondeo exhaust manifold but i dont think it fits as i havent heard of someone using one

msportbo1

i had a wee look at burton would one of the ashley manifolds do the job... mite have to keep the si stuff on it for a while until i build up the funds for a rebuild......

msportbo1

sunil what sorta power would i be expecting

msportbo1

and can u pm a spec list and piccy of ur engine just for a gander!!

Sunil_FiestaRS1800

iTrader: (1)

Yea that should be fine, im running trust electrical exhaust manifold which was a fooker to fit and required a custom de cat to clear the sub frame

std mondeo 2.0 is 130ps so 126ish bhp i think

msportbo1

not to bad for a fez with plenty of scope for more!!!! you say you used a focus inlet? off what one??

Sunil_FiestaRS1800

iTrader: (1)

its off a mk1 2.0 if i remember rightly. Not a straight fit though required some wiring changes and fuel line connectors changing.

Im selling some R1 Carbs at the mo if you fancy more power than std

lukemakepeace

is the bay of a mk6 escort bigger than a fiesta bay?

luke89

iTrader: (1)

Sunil_FiestaRS1800 you havnt got a rs1800 inlet have you ?
i have a trust electrical racing one but unsure wether to fit it dont wanan start fuckin about just want plug and play

NEEDFORSPEED

a few other little bits and youve got 150hp = very cheap fun

rst in breaking

iTrader: (2)

costs penuts if keeping enigine standard, what litre si do you have? if zetec use the exhaust manifold of it, sump and pick up and then all you need is a smaller oil filter on the mondeo pump, then a "deep, desk OR dewy ecu, mass sensor, throttle bosy and injectors otherwise is pointless".

my 2.0 in my old one cost me Ł70 from breakers, plus new sump gasket and few bits, shouldnt look over a Ł100 in parts if not having a rebuild

wirralphil

Dazza off FT done a Focus inlet change on his 2.0 si. he did have a site called Teamford.co.uk with a step by step guide for the si 2.0 with every thing to fit.

msportbo1 check his name on www.fiestaturbo.co.uk for his posts on the 2.0 fitment.

msportbo1

ive got a 1.6 zetec si see the ecus does it say on them clearly if the are deep desk or dewy???? and where the hell are they hid on the mondy???

Sunil_FiestaRS1800

iTrader: (1)

Yea i have one somewhere as that what i started with before the focus inlet. I had trust electrical inlet aswell for awhile but eneded up doing a deal for some RL7's.

I done a guide on FT aswell, as i was one for of the first few people to fit one. Ill see if i can find the link

Psssengers footwell i think same as a fiesta. They are usually clearly marked aswell with what one they are

No need to mess about using thw wrong ECU from a Mondeo:

http://www.megaefi.com/

With the RS1800 inlet this should see 150ish bhp.

Mondeo ecu is drivers side bulkhead you have to undo 2 10mm nuts in the engine bay and one in the drivers foot well and it comes out from the foot well easy as
