how hard it would be to fit or tubo charge a ford fiesta rs 1800 zetec thin
its efi on a j plate can the injection be left alone? would we have to lower the compresion on the current engine ? can this all be done with a comperssion plate and a conversion plate on the exhust side ?
any help would be much apprecited

 

u culd use a decompression plate but dont think their all that tbh, plus u'll have to tap the block for an ERST manifold

 

cant u get a conversion plate for the exhust manifold?
the current engine was rebuilt last year and has only done 5000 miles hence the plate

 

bttt

 

yes you could use a demompression plate.. not the best solution.. but a more financially viable one!
You can get a manifold made up so the manifold fits onto the exhaust ports correctly..
TBH im not sure about the management.. i 'guessing' that the 1800 uses the same management as an XR2i and RST hence you may be able to changejust the ecu and swap a coupple of pins round. however i have NO experience with the RS1800 at all

thanks for input ill think ill leve it alone
