How can i get more power out of my fiesta mk2 1.1 lmao i wqant more power

 

put an xr2 engine in it

 

Change the car for something with more power would be the most sensible option.

Changing the engine for a more powerful unit is another way but you'll need to change suspension and brakes as well to cope and the costs of insuring the car after the engine swap may make it unpractical

 

Or a RSTurbo, or a Zetec or something else

 

I've heard that a modern Zetec engine fits quite nicely in a mk2. I also have a mk2, but as I'm only 18, a Zetec engine would put a huge dent in my wallet from the insurance.


To be honest though, I think the mk2 1.1 has enough as a top speed. I've maxed out the speedo in mine (110mph). So it will do at least that given a long enough bit of road. It's acceleration can be a bit disappointing at times though, so I guess more power would help that.

 

and after all... you aren't allowed to drive fast in the UK

 

no way you will do 110 in a 1.1 the xr2 doesnt do much more

 

I most definitely did. Speed said 110, sat. nav. said 107. It did sound like it was in pain though, if I held it too long something would have probably popped.

My car is in very good nick though, it's only got 37k on the clock.

 

ur never gunna get speed out of a 1.1 lmao, get nitrous or better still get older then things get cheaper lol

 

lol

To blow the 1.1's pistons with conrods and crankshaft through the oil sump into free air?

 

they guy before me says he got 110mph down hill on the dual carrdige way. lol my fiesta has only done 40 k miles aswell.

 

I wasn't on a hill when I did it, might have had a tail-wind, but doubt it would have made that much difference. Took a long time for the speedo to go from 100 to 110 though.
