hi i currently own i 1.1 hcs mk3 fiesta but i'm thinking of puttin a 2.0litre zetec lump in it .i would lk to know how big a job this is and wot additonal parts i would need i.e driveshafts ,ecu, wireingloom etc .also if there may be any problems i might come across during the swap .any help is greatly appretiated thanks.

 

since postin i been havin a look round on the net and it seems a 1.6 lump would be easy but from wot car and would it just bout straight in

 

If you are thinking of an upgrade go for the 2.0 block just because of the potential power increase,
You will need to take the engine, loom/ecu and sensors and mountings then attach a erst gearbox and a decent clutch, a set of cvh drive shafts and a few bits and bobs.

I'm not to clued up on the n/a conversion but i'm sure there are different ecu's, your best getting advice from some of the other users.

You should see 150bhp out of a n/a engine and a fair amount of torque

 

what about a 1600 cvh non turbo? , thats what i might do, i was under the impression that you didnt need to spend too much to get it sorted?

 

well i decided i'm guna put a 1.6 xr2 engine in for nw and mayby go for the zetec later on .its seems alot easyier to fit the 1.6cvh than the zetec and cheaper .

 

Speak to xr stu mate, hes done the 1800 convo i think and im sure hes about to do a 2.0 as well, you could also speak to jamsport or maybe try vulcan or burton power, im sure jamsport did a 2ltrs xr2 a while back.

Or you just fuck it and get an rs2000 jobbie in there

 

If your going cvh then get a full cvh turbo conversion there is the same amount of work and the cost is not a great deal more and the tuning aspect is massive.
