We are going to attempt the above tomorrow.

We have a 1.0 4 speed fiesta and a complete mondeo doner car, my mate seems to think it can be done with the parts we get from the mondy but i seem to remember you need a few things from a 16v fiesta?

Could someone please clear this up for me as i dont really want to waste my time taking the engines out if it aint going to work

take a look over on www.xrtwo.com mate a few people have done mrk 3 s i no you have to change the inlet to a 1.8 one and the sump and pick up to a 1.8 in a mrk 2 as i have just put a 130 spec 1.8 in my xr2

Its easy, you need a 1.6/1.8 zetec, waterpump,sump/pickup , inlet and it will fit in the bay.

If you want full potential you will need rs1800 (130ps) inlet and exhaust manifolds.

There other combos you could use like aftermarket four branch exhaust mani, and early focus inlet etc

On a zetec engined fiesta the management is litreally just plug and play with a DEEP,DEWY or DESK 2.0 ecu. Might need some modding if the fiesta didnt start life with a zetec engine. That is why easier to start with an SI as its litereally just plug and play.

thanks, unfortunatly the bloke has got the fiesta and the mondeo and he is adimant it will work, i think i may have to have a word before he starts ripping it all out lol

scoobypete

you started it yet?

lozi

lol ive sent him off to pick up an 1800 zetec thats laying around with a fucked headgasket for the sump and flywheel then we should be able to crack on.

Got twin webbers for it aswell but something tells me that will end in tears lol

scoobypete

remember you need the water pump to,and you need to get a REALY short altanotor belt, you running on carbs or injection then?

anodised

dont forget the oil pick up aswell from the 1.8 most parts you can get from a rs1800 or 1.8 xr2i

lozi

he has got the carbs ready to fit but i think we should run injection and ry to get it running on carbs at a later date.

he is adimant the carbs will be piece of piss though, fuck it not my car lol

im hoping he manages to get the complete 1.8 engine for fuckall so we can use whatever we need from it

scoobypete

i dont no about injection but in the car atm has it got the esc thing under the bonnet,ether on the passinger inner front arch or on the bulkhead ,with a vacume pipe comeing of?

reithy

hes also going to need the wiring loom from a fiesta si, fuel pump and the front engine mount, otherwise itll end in tears

i converted the fiesta 1.1 i had to 1.6 si engine

ScORTED

he'll also need to use the oil pump from the 1.8/1.6 engine and some 16v fiesta engine mounts

lozi

I went and picked a 1.8 from an escort up last night for free, had to carry it from the top of their garden and through their house though lol

Its not going to work there are bits that people have said we need that we dont have like engine mounts but he rekons he knows ways round it, which will be funny if nothing else lol

scoobypete

why do you need the oil pump?

because the standard zetec oil filter fouls on the subframe, however swapping the filter for a CVH one will sort this.

lozi

Started work at midday and the engine is in the fez, carbs are on fuel pump is on just gotta get the 4-2-1 manifold, alternator and aux belt and water system on and we should be go.

We used a CVH oil filter as said above, yes it has the esc on the bulkhead.

Running without PAS, i cant see how we are going to get the alternator on myself.

Why do you need to change the water pump?
