can you help please on what is needed to turbo my 1.1 fiesta lx to make it a complete sleeper?cheers.heres the car.

 

I would get a doner car as you will need alot of part's and buying them separately will cost a lot more you will need full loom, ecu, engine, turbo, intercooler, rad fan, gearbox, fuel pump, hose's water/boost, brake's rs/xr2i, breather, system exhaust, engine mounts, suspension/anti roll bar, lower arms, link arms

 

yer im thinking of that cheeRS m8

 

ithought you meant literally torboing the 1.1 hcs

lol

mate donor car will make life somuch easier

 

tbh mate if you got a donor car n transplanted it you'd be much better off just having the standard frst.
also insurance is going to be worse on an engine converted fiesta than a frst.worth a thought.also you'd be luck to get change from at least a grand
personaly i think ud get some good cash for your car as it is and put that towards a frst.
sleepers are cool but be realistic
standard looking fiesta mk3's look pants

 

if its the sleeper ur set on try and get a frst with a decent engine but with really shite body work, since u only need the engine the body dosent matter and will be cheaper

 

yer but frst's now days are rotten and this 1.1 is as solid as a new fiesta and has only surface rust which has now been termineted!and how will the insurance be more expensive thatn on a frst?also i know it looks shite but imagine it lowered 60mm,bbs alloys,big FMIC at the front and a 4"outrolled pie straight through,the only way people will be able to tell it is rs turbo powered is by the chatter,intercooler,and pipe.the interior wil be rs turbo interior also

 

arrrrrrrrrrrgh i was hoping you were actually going to turbo the 1.1 what fun that would be

 

yer ive seen it done before to a car for sale on ebay,it was a real bodge job!!he had a plastic pipe from the carb to a t15 turbo off a cinquecento-(vannaken conversion) and no intercooler

 

if you did what to turbo the 1100 lump get yourself a mk1 fiesta inlet manifold as the bolt spacings for the carburetta match up with the renwot R5-GTT carb

 

AND THEN RUN IT LIKE A R5GTT?

 

get a small turbo you'd need a custom exhaust manifold, would make for an interesting project, could allways supercharge instead

 

rr u serious?

 

when i get a reasonable priced carb off ebay..........maybe

not on a road car quite yet though

there was a 1.3 turbo x'flow on ebay the other day simular design to the 1.1

 

Yes mate, that's the definition of a sleeper

Sideways in that

 

what ?it will be a sleeper.

 

No mate....................as it is, its a sleeper

 

lol!

 

just buy afiesta turbo pu a starnard bonet on it put steelies on it, standard back box, and fiesta bonus interior

 

i would just buy a rotten fiesta turbo and put the enginem running gear and seats into the 1.1, alot easyer, maybe some alloy wheels but not to bling or u will lose the "sleeper look", upgrade the brakes also , its good to have the power and speed but better to scrub it off as fast as u can get it tho

 

where did you get that info or have you tryed the carb on the manifold your self, because retro ford is running a three part feature on turboing a crossflow and there using a r5 turbo carb but tryed to fit it to a single choke manifold and revealed that it was close but not close enough.

 

1.1 turbo?anypoint?this car was scrapped 2 months ago anyway to fund another oproject

 

A huge front mount blows your sleeper plan right out of the water pal!


If you wanna keep it discrete you should think about modding a Saff cossie cooler

 

nah i wanted a black pace cooler,but i never happened

 

I was'ent thinking of turboing a 1.1 more along the lines of a burton 1700 crossflow with a stage 3 big valve head take a look

stick a 2.0 zetec in it on some massive suckers, management and plenty of head work, LSD box and some coilovers and brakes to suit. leae everything else as it is

 

Thats what I thought LOL
