Hi This is about my mk2 fiesta popular started off with a 957cc crossflow in but i fitted a mondeo diesel turbo to it and got in running about 1.2 bar of boost, did not set it up properly by lowing the compression and all that.
i was going to but i pulled up next to a vectra and he started laughing at my are so i thought id show him whats going on! i beat him off the line then burnt out 3 piston rings and lost all compression.
engine out

1600 CVH from an xr2
still going to use my 1litre gearbox.
got 4branch full ashley exhaust heat wrapped
k&n
rs turbo cam
vernier pully

going to get rev counter, launch control. spax,

Also for some unknown reason ther are xr3 seats in the front but i have xr2 seats to replace them.

all is still in the process of being done !







The CVH is in but dont have the pictures uploaded yet will get then this weekend

Cheers for looking

 

pmsl @ the turbo set up but fair play to having ago mate that what its all about

 

you will need to change the osf tie bar bracket so that the alt will clear

 

you didnt run an intercooler on the turbo i see, can see why rings melted with that boost without one. good luck with new engine mate

 

i didnt know the mk2 fiesta had the valencia in it. thiught they all went cvh.
what did u do to the carb etc to run the turbo?

 

looks funny with the turbo on the 1 litre

 

It was fun to do, it kept up with mk1 xr2I had trouble with the carb but it was the older model as its an A reg car it would only boost with the manuel choke out because there was too much air being dumped into the carb and the fuel couldnt keep up so i made a small 'plenumth' (duno how its spelt) and put a dump valve on it.but didnt get to fully sort it out

 

nice little project your doing ther

 

Yeah cheers nice 1 mateGuna see if i can cut mine and weld a bar on to streghthen it up or may see if an xr2 1 is knocking around

 

i would just get the xr2 one mate make life so much easier

 

 

yeah will do cheers
you dont know anywere that does the radiator pipes do you?
all i can find is the silicone one's

 

? just get the silicone ones. there better

 

not when were £80!!
think il try get standard ones for now then when i get abit more money il get silicone one's

 

wicked little project pal
1.2bar boost
what exhaust manny ect did you use

 

cheers bud
and just used the standard one and welded the turbo straight to it and made my own downpipe. it was a tight fit but thats just how we like it !

 

Mad little project.

 

its not the bar its the bracket mate. where the alt on the xr2 hangs near the sump it hits the standard 1.1 non cvh bracket. i found out the hard way lol

 

yeah i checked on an xr2 yesterday and noticed the difference il have to see what i can do

 

mate look xrtwo.com there a lad selling some standed xr2 hoses £10 for top and bottom i think
