Hi

appologies if this may be in the wrong section, just finding the forum a bit vast at the moment lol

Right my Ka of the R reg variety has the lovely 1.3 endura in it I know you can fit 2.0 in no problems but the car is only going to be a work hack and pick up parts in. Was thinking more on the lines of a 1.4 16v which will keep it in the cheap tax band but have just about enough power (seems to go well in the puma) to keep it amusing.

Is the Ka based on a MK3 or 4 fiesta? and if I was to drop said 1.4 16v in engine mounts would I need new ones would it drop right in? obviously wiring I assume there would some rewiring needed. Any help is appreciated.

It seems more trouble than its worth,you'll probably get raped on the insurance and its only a 1.4.Mounts will need sorting with an SE

 

nah insurance aint a problem for me I am 24 now so I am old like! well its either some ok and economical like the 1.4 16v and 1.25 or just go whole hog and get a 1.6 in there maybe XR2i item since thats a MK3 engine

 

i keep a way from 1.4 zetecs could do what im doing im putting in a 2.1 zvh turbo in my ka and running it on cossie management

The easiest would be an 1800 zetec out of a fiesta.Blakey off here does an adaptor plate to fit a CVH.Then just alter as if you were fitting a zetec to a CVH engined car.

 

ok cool well im going to run the car as is for a while and see how long the engine lasts before doign anything major, priority is to sort the suspension and brakes out first and get some new wheels on

 

Good luck waiting for the engine to die,they run without being maintained,even without oil lol

 

lol frankie I did read something over on myka some guy split a coolant hose but just drive it to the garage and they just replaced hose and toped fluid up lol hg didnt even go!
