Default My 2litre MK4 fiesta

Im not really great at writing threads and updating them but over the bank holiday weekend i set upon fitting my 2 litre blacktop engine from my MK2 mondeo in to my MK4 fiesta.The transplant was very straight forward.I used a fiesta,escort flywheel,focus clutch and a diesel ib5 hydraulic gearbox and std drive shafts.I used all the original engine and gearbox mounts.Everything went straight in and im using a zetec one piece 4 branch manifold and down pipe.Ive gone to the lengths of using the mondeo loom with pats and using the mondeo ignition barrel so i can use the 3 button fob.I might transfer the door and boot locks over yet and my heated washer jets.The plan is to keep the car looking standard with a turbo conversion some time in the year.Im using a alloy mondeo radiator with a rad fan trimmed down to fit tempory for the time being.Jobs to finish is getting the fluids in,one water hose and sort my exhaust out as its blowing and im off.

Here is a better pick of the Fiesta lol.I took it for mot today and it passed with an advisory on the bushes on the wishbones.Just bought some new wish bones and ive bought some new drop links I thought I might as well change them at the same time.Ive ordered a manual steering rack off Ebay as well so I look forward to doing that and binning the power steering altogether.Im gonna get it lowered and then look at a turbo conversion,i have most of the bits and pieces minus the turbo just not sure yet what to go for

Im saying November time as a dead line but it will proberly be earlier than that lol.Just do bits when you can mate.I do mine in my spare time lol.Its my daily as well I start work early in the morning.As for the turbo conversion I don't want to attract loads of attention hence being a sleeper.I don't want some massive loud exhaust either,something quiet that wont strangle the car either.I don't no if a 2 inch cat back will be ok for upto 300bhp I don't plan on going anything over that its plenty for a daily runner or will I need the 2 1/2inch job.My cat back is a 1 1/2 at most or maybe an inch its the std 1.2 zetec exhaust which is restricting the power I have now lol.

Have you no more updates on yours mate?

Door strips are held on by a sealer/Glue.
Exhaust bore depends but if your going to turbo it 2,5 or 2,25 min.
2,25 is the upgrade size for the 1.6 N/A mind and you have a bigger engine and going to turbo it.
