Considering converting my Fiesta to Rs Turbo power, about 200bhp would be plenty. Going for a bit of a sleeper.
Question is, how long would the conversion take? And are there any specific bits I'd need?

Thanks.
Ben.

 

its an easy conversion mate, but u will need everything off a frst, engine, box, loom, mounts, fuen tank an pump rads an cooler, can easily be done in a weekend at a steady pace if u kno wot your doing

 

Sounds simple enough, is it pretty much a nut and bolt job from the frst to mine?

 

you wont need the box (they are the same) mounts (same again) . Wiring the lives and earths and rev counter will be the trickyest part.

 

Hmm, electrics aren't my strong point to be honest, could be interesting..

 

surely being a mk4 it will have an endura or zetec engine therefore the mounts are different, and the gearing in the box is also different and the wiring is pretty easy tbh

 

Its zetec, so like you said, I'd of thought the mounts would be different?

And what do you call easy? I'm not very clued up with wiring in a car

 

id have to look into it for you but i should imagine its only a few wires, as said a couple of lives to connect up an rev counter things like that swap loom an connect a few wires, u only need to swap the engine loom not the whole car loom, ill have a look into it later for u mate ive never done it to a mk 4 but wont be hard

 

Awesome, much appreciated mate, I'll see what I can find in terms of an engine, might be worth looking for a rear end damaged frst?

 

or a rotten one, or just somethin with a fiesta efi turbo engine fitted m8, depends on wot it was fitted to u might still need to buy mounts but you could use everything else, if u did by a crashed/rotten frst would be better as u would have the brakes and seats an all that too

 

yeah im sure it will be easy, ive managed several times before no probs.

 

be a good lil sleeper when done too

 

I've got a set of 2.0ltr Mondy brakes in the garage that I was going to use, which do you reckon would be better?
And that's true, I've been wanting a pair of the recaro's for a while!

I'll take some pictures when its being done

Wondering what wheels to use, currently on some old rs 4 spokes in white with a slight stretched tyre..
