so it is do able quite easy then?

Dan F

I wouldnt say its easy, but its not too difficult
Quite a few people have managed it and one of my mates is currently starting a zetec engine conversion in his mk2 fiesta

Dan

craig oh

Yo Dan!



Depends which zetec your putting in. I know that the black top 2.0 zetec needs some sort of adapter plate fabricating to allow the efi manifold to bolt in place, I'm not not sure if this is the case with the silver top 2.0 though. The 1.8 will fit in very easily requiring very little to get it running, in fact it might just be a case of switching the ecu and engine loom over, oh and the block of course.

I know on the mk2 and I'm sure it's the same on the mk3 if you fit the 2.0 you have to change the sump to the 1.6 or 1.8 item to allow the downpipe to exit in the correct position. You may also need the cvh oil filter.

Hey oh thanks for that mate,
also you need to modify the xr2 engine mounts for the zetec to fit

Dan

craig oh

Or use RS1800 mounts, they work for fitting the 2.0 too.
