ive got a 2.1 zetec turbo engine on the way im so excited.its goin in my fiesta XR2 mk1 and its all in good condition.i cant wait
ne1 got any sugestions or opinions?

 

yep, get some good brakes

 

im thinking porche brakes a family member of mine has got a porche.do you think il be alright with the xr2 gearbox?

 

will need something better than the xr2 box!

at least a erst box but depending on the power your planning you may need something better

 

yeh a parachute!!!!!!!

 

Should be awesome mate! Get it set up properly!

 

Hope its not a 924

 

by the way, what was u planning on doing? going and steeling his brakes while they aint looking

 

hes gunna let me have the brakes im thinkin they might fit looks like they will.he wants a 911 turbs.

 

Mk1s are bastards to fit 5 speed boxes in unles its got one already? You have to cut the inner arch out etc... Try the Fiesta Center website.
Fooking well worth doing though!

 

can i have the rest of the car then please

(brakes are the only bit i can afford)

 

lol.his mate is havin the car hes gunna do sumat tricky all singin all dancin shit but not quite sure hes keepin it a secret till its finished but when hes done.I'l fil u all in.

 

i think im goin to use a gt28 turbo,ive got some rs200 cosworth forged pistons,ARP rod bolts.my compression ratio is 8.3:1 so it should give really good power with little lag.im so excited its gunna my baby il never let her out of my site.

 

RS200 pistons?

What you gonna do for rods? Pistons are a bore of 86mm or so?

 

where you going to put your radiator ?

good luck with it cvh turbo engines are a tight fit in a mk1 will be good when its done though

 

ive got a zetec turbo on the way not a cvh turbo and im having a charger cooler to see if that works.the rods i would proberly use standard zetec 2.0 ones.

 

o yea ive already a 5 speed box.louise

 

i read what you typed, i was just commenting that a cvh turbo is an extremely tight fit, thats with a standard t3 with some of the actuator bracket ground off and using a modified mk2 xr2 radiator.

are you changing the engine mount on the inner wing or doing it another way ?

i think si meant does it have a 5 speed fitting kit welded into the inner wing already ?

 

do you no where i can get one from-bracket and rad

 

the fiesta centre used to do the 5 speed fitting kit, not sure if they still do. You have to cut a big chunk out the inner wing and reinforce it, it also includes a modified tie bar and a strengthening bar.

as for a rad, with it being a turbo motor you at least want a brand new rad or better still have an alloy one made.

i ran a standard xr2 rad in my mk2 and it was ok most of the time but in heavy traffic it would get hot.
