More of just a discussion as i dnt really hav the money to fund such a conversion at the mo....

Wot do u think the pro's and cons of the following conversions (Fiesta mk2) wud be:

1. Fiesta turbo
2. Escort Turbo
3. 1.8 16v Zetec
4. 2.0 16v Zetec
5. Any other options...

Which wud be easiest?? how hard to source the parts?? most power potential?? reliability?? etc etc

Jus after sum ideas i may have to pay a visit to Mr. Bank Manager

 

Fiesta Turbo!

 

1900 cvh mate wiv cossie management

 

HOW DID YOU DO THE WIRING LOOM?? WHAT WIRES GO WHERE?? I JUST WANT TO FIT FIESTA RST OFAB MANAGEMENT TO MY ESCORT S2 !!!

 

out of the escort and fizzy, i would say the fiesta engine, reason being that there is no air flow meter to arse around with, and the fiesta runs electronic fuel injection.

out of the 2.0 and 1.8 zetecs, it has got to be the 2.0, larger capacity more torque


but out of the lot for a straight engine drop for the xr2 i would say go for the zetec a shit load of torque for a small light car, it would be fast!

 

1. Fiesta turbo - Not too hard good power, easy future power hikes
2. Escort Turbo - Tight squeeze for all the bits but good grunt
3. 1.8 16v Zetec - Good revy engine with no turbo complications
4. 2.0 16v Zetec - As above but with some extra ponies (my choice)
5. Any other options... - RS2k engine

 

Ive got a 2.0 ztec in my mk2 xr2 with a trust electricl inlet manyfold its f$*king fast 160 BHP

 

I have a 1.8 zetec out of a xr2i 16v if your interetsed

 

Have a 1.9cvh turbo in one mate and they really do go like fuck,as said though it is quite tight.
If going zetec,imo 2.0

 

GO FOR THE 2l MATE

 

Go for something special: RS1600i or XR3i MFI:



Zetec is not good if you want power. Throw in a standard RST with little mods or a real monster with a 2.0 Zetec Turbo. But forget that WeberMarelli-crap. There are better, cheaper an less thirstier ignition/injection systems available

 

I own a mk5 fiesta 1.3 , not very excitin i know.. iv had it superchipt ect n want more power. Iv bin thinkin bout a conversion of a rs turbo..


But im not sure where to begin, wat do u recomend...?
Would it be worth while buyin a complete rs turbo n strippin all the bits i need or would just buyin the engine gearbox ect be easier n cheaper...
Any advice will be appreciated ,Cheers

 

ive jus out a 1.8 zetec in my mk1, will have bike carbs fitted, shd put out 190 odd bhp!!!

always more power available

go zetec mate

 

Hey im looking to put a 1.6cvh in my mk3 fiesta anyone know of agood Garage in Manchester that can help me out??

Thanks

Dave

 

I know the zetec would be another option but would the turbo not be more fun with more power

 

Fisrt thing before undertaking this you must call your insurance company. There is no point building a car that you then can't insure. You may find it cheaper and more beneficial to just sell up and buy a Fiesta RS Turbo

 

Well i used to hav a 205 Mi16 and my insurance company were fine insuring that.. cant imagine this being any different

I would obviously do that before hand anyhow lol

Dont really fancy a mk3 frst... i'm happy with the mk2, jus fancy a bit more grunt.

 

Sorry DiscoStu my comment was aimed for Ballz Deep

 

Im just thinkin bout the whole insurance thing. my cars insurance is already void at the moment with my alloys, full stainless ect. So i wasnt guna evan bother tellin em... Not wise but allot easier n cheaper.

Dou think the whole project is possible and will be a fast car at the end of it..........

 

Noo!! Thats a very silly thing to do in my eyes.. suppose u knock someone down and kill them without insurance?? Thats a prison sentence

I'd rather pay the extra few hundred quid and hav piece of mind when i'm driving around

 

Very true...... The voice of reason...

I doubt itll be an extra couple of hundred tho
