i just got hold on a mondeo 93 2 litre si thing goes fuckin uick just wondrin if there is any help on pttin this into a fezzie?

any help much appreciated

 

use the welder and lets get crackin

fatboy

 

dont worry old sparkys comin out doin some extreme seam weldin

 

Just need to source a fiesta rs1800 engine mount then its in

 

is that all thats needed? what mount will that be the gearbox mounts or side mount??

 

side mount.

use a cvh turbo gearbox and cradle but all the cradles r same on the fiesta so just need the fiesta mounts on the escort rs box.

best to have a dif with a turbo zetec.

 

oh right kewl
erm will the cvh gearbox take the power though? i had a 1.1 gearbox on my 1.6cvh and i blew the difff up mind u a 1.6cvht is probly a bit more durable. Oh whats the loom like to do for the conversion? My base car is a 1.6 carb cvh

BY THE WAY m4dyeti your car is EXACTLY how i want mine beast of a car mate

 

You need to convert to efi set up so fuel tank and lines will be needed.

Gearbox well depends on power really..

180 bhp standard cvh box with diff

240 bhp stage 2 box with quaife diff

350 bhp stage2 + box with quaife diff.

400+ st170 or mtx box with quaife diff equal length shafts.

wiring loom not sure as im not doing mine... but im sure if you ask on here or fiestaturbo.com more so someone will help out..

Cheers for the comments of mine mate

 

alright cheers mate always knew ud be help in my lil project sooner or later my plans at the minute though is just to get the whole lump in with the actual mondeo loom and go from there.
petrol tank issue will probly be overcome by stickin the mondeo tank in the back or pissbnly boot? What dya think would be wise?
Bearing in mind im kinda tight for cash for a lil bit lol


oh how much did u pay for your rollcage??

 

custom cages roll cage looking at circa 800 a bolt in one will be good start though see if you like it as a track car then.

Fuel system buy a mk3 fiesta tank and lines mate it wil bolt to the floor pan perfectly that way cost you prob Ł60 tops for that....

 

first bits of engine out work continues on thursday should all be out by weekend not as nice as a cvh or other lumps to work on but good stuff none the less

yeah alright i'll have to get a fiesta tank but whats the difference between the carbed tank and injection tank? Is it the injection tank that has the pump in the tank?

 

yes the tank has the pump situated in the top of the tank and the pipes run out fo the top and then under the car up to the bulkhead where they join the filter, then feed in the injector rail and back out the pressure regulator under the car into the tank again.

 

ok niceeeee i had a injection tank but i threw it away
il have to buy one or get hold of another fiesta

how hard are these 2 litres to turbo??

 

fairly staright forward to do BUT depends what power you after...

 

erm well to be honest i was aiming at the 200 mark IF i was going to turbo it but i think i will have the fiesta for a while
so i think il end up with a turbo lol

 

standard engine with a set of low comp pistons 270 is pretty easy..

have a look on fiestaturbo.com on the zetec guide and it tells you whats needed.... your be surpprised.

anything over 350-400 your looking at alot of money

 

oh right yeah thats kewl so 270 with what turbo and where should i buy the forged pistons from burtons?? What pistons and turbo would you use?

 

T3 turbo and set of pistons look through fast ford company doing them at good price.

That will see good power just need good map and injectors, nice sized intercooler too

 

ok i like ur style lol for now though im going to put the 2 litr in as it is and use it like that see what its like then in maybe 6 months take it off the road again and do a turbo re build

 

If i was you i would keep it going until you have all the parts gathered up.

make good use of it get suspension brakes all sorted and keep tracking it..
then over the winter sling the turbo in and all set for new year.

otherwise its "yeah il do it in 2 months" and it will take you twice as long

 

haha kewl thats a gd idea oh thats what i meant to ask are the brakes off the saph 4x4 the best choice for front brakes? i got the si drums on the back ??

 

Drums are totally upto the job mate... only reason i changed was to widen the rear track of the car.

For upfront cossie calipers are suitbale but a focus set up is also do-able.

 

but what about the hub and disk size?? are the 4x4 ones like 284 mm? So will the cossie calipers mount to my hub then or any adjustments??

 

to be honest im not sure without researching it, i just bought a whole kit and bolted it all on.

best to look on ft.com there will be a guide on there for it for sure.

 

oh right ok il have a look
so how comes urs is a 2.1? is it because u had to overbore a bit for the pistons or headwork?

 

It has custom spec pistons which are larger so equates to just under 2.1.
the head has had loads of work and is Sunny's old head (178.9mph).

I have gone for a differnt turbo spec and transmission choice, along with a lighter shell so should see this top speed figure and beyone hopefully.

Although the car is built to be a track car not a 1/4mile topspeed runner

 

oh right i know that sunny and his fiesta that was quick lol yeah id prefer it to be a track car keep some handling so you can go quicker round corners
me and my mate stevegti2 reakon 195/50(45??)/15 are the best size of wheel what size would u say was best for handlin?

 

Spot on there mate ive had 17s 16s and now 15s with 195 50 15 tyres r888s super soft compound and you will have a real weapon

 

r888 is the only tyre for a fwd drive car if ya ask me onley a little more expensive than goog quality normal tyres as well

steve

 

ok that kewl mate. So whats the sort of 0-60 speed and topend speed this 2turbo will be able to achieve at 230 bhp?? Any clue lol

 

oh yeah another thing i meant to ask was how do you use an exhaust on a zetec in a fiesta?? do you need a custom pipe??

 

if your turboing it then jut use a standard frs down pipe or a shortend escort rs turbo and join that to your system.

Im having a custom one built due to the bhp im having which is 3" diameter

 

fuckin hell like scaffold thats how i like it lol. so what exhaust will i use then? i havent even looked at the zetec exhaust system
i just want one wacked on until i buy a nice ss one

 

Pass mate ive not seen/looked at a non turbo exhaust system before..

just have to look at a mondeo focus one and join that to the standard exhaust system you have on the fiesta

 

ok mate going to have to do that for now
where do u think will be the best place?? im thinkin just after the downpipe cos of the cat?? take the cat away and adapt the fiesta exhaust from there
