Hey There!

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I was looking to fit the ST150 Engine or the ST170 Engine into my Fiesta. Its only the 1.4 Zetec. I herd that the St150 engine fits straight into a Zetec S Just wondered if anyone knew if the engine would fit nicely or not before i go and buy it. IF not does anyone know what kind of 2L engine would be suitable for my car.

Thanks Lee

 

hi there lee i have asked this question before and the result i got from all the members was not to bother and buy an st.
it is akot cheaper al the work is properly done and you know it all works and you save yourself ££££
i can imagine if your young u are tryin to cut down insurance and tax etc but really isent the way to go.
jsut my advice because i wanted to do the same haha
but welcome to pf

 

Is the ZS engine a duratec or a sigma/zetec-se lump?

 

Thanks Dude. Thing is ive spent roughly about £3.5k on the car already getting a bodykit and sound and things for it. If i was to sell the car for the ST i would loose out on allot of money. I know what you mean tho thanks for writing me back.

Cj - I think its a duratec

Thanks lee

 

if im honest realy ya still better of jsut breakin the parts of ya car sell the body kit etc and claw back the money then and then sell the car and then you will have enough you got pics of the car? im sure that woudl be better put it to standard sell seperatly etc

 

Yeh i got some pics, there on my computer thought im using my parents one atm. I'll post some on later for you. yeh thats a good idea... Just because it was my first car and i was hoping to keep it for a bit i thought about upgrading the engine. What about the 1.7 puma engine.. does that fit straight in?

 

Btw ment to ask.. How much roughly do you think it would cost to fit the St150 into my car?

Cheers lee

 

do what you want mate, its your car

if you pay a garage to do it for you i think your probably looking at 1500 - 2000 + the price of the parts..
the parts could cost you 1000 - 2k alone..+ uprating things like brakes/ suspension e.t.c to match the new power...

or have a crack at it yourself, if youve got basic knowledge its pretty straightforward once you get into it.

would be easier if you had the donor car and your car side by side though so you know your not missing anything e.t.c..
then once its all done get a garage to check it over

 

yeah dont get me wrong i want to do this to my fiesta that ill be buying soon struggling to find and st150 engine box and all auxillieries if im honest but i would do a diy job and do it myself then get it all checked out

where was you getting you engine from ?

 

Yeh i know what you mean. Was getting the engine from a place down south. Was costing roughly 1k for the complete engine and gear box. You could probably pick one up of ebay for less but then theres the problem of not knowing if its running right or not. Got a few friends who are mechanics and my uncles a mechanic also so its not that big a problem. Your right tho its allot of money just to solve the engine. Few months wages for me considering im on peanuts. Rofl

Cheers for the posts

IIRC you need the full loom, clocks, ignition barrel, ecu, etc all matched off the same car. Also pedal set off the ST aswell.

UKFN do a price list of whats needed for the whole conversion. Consider your possibilities when you do this, full conversion £2k?

 

Iv done this full conversion for somebody on my drive. It can easily be done in a weekend if you have everything that is required.

Engine, gearbox, loom, ecu, keychip and transponder, clocks, exhaust, all coolant pipes and header tank, power steering pipes, fuel pump unit and fuel line.

Pedal set as stated above is not required.

 

Learn somthing new every day, are the 1.4 drive shafts the same as the st ones?

 

They will fit the gearbox yes. Both IB5's

The 1.4 is a Zetec-SE, just badged as a duratec. The 2.0 is a Newer version of the Zetec-SE in larger form, with no relation to the old "Duratec" in the ST170 at all (which was actually a Zetec).

It will fit straight in as Tim said. But you need to make sure you have ABS as the ST runs its Speedo drive from the wheel ssensors. If you have ABS its plug and play. IF you dont its far more tricky.

 

as said they would fit but i wouldnt expect your cv joints to last too long if you give it stick with the increased torque/bhp

 

did you never do that frs conversion on the fez then? my second frs in nearly on the road

 

I knew the duratec/zetec se etc, just never knew if the driveshafts were the same.

 

Still in middle of it Aint even got round to getting a donor engine yet, its an expensive game when at college full time but now im working I should start making progress

I was wondering if your username was you Alex. Glad to see you back in another one.

 

i thought you had a renult megan sport or some shit, or have you sold that?
