hi heard alot about 1800 zetec in to efi mk4 escort with out changing any wiring,i have been thourgh all the forum,but no facts about this,if any 1 could post what this involves,like mounts connetion plugs,stuff like that would be realy greatfull,what would be faster in mk4 escort cabriolet efi cvh engine or 1800 zetec engine,and would u have to chane the exhaust

 

piece of piss mate just finished tthe conversion myself very fast and torquey any questions email me at www.indy992000@yahoo.co.uk and i will tell u in detail

 

did u get my email indy

 

I think you will havto change the multi plug on the TPS ,

get some sort of chip for the ecu as you will need to fuel 1.8 not 1.6 , injectors and rail will probably need changing aswell , ( u could use the EFI cvh inlet and injector rail with a conversion plate )

engine mount needs a slight tweek but goes straight on , alternator bracket will need to be changed for a 1.3 cvh ( well thats what i used ) RS1800 alt belt and pully wheel off the zetec alternator , ( goes straight onto the CVH one )

water pipes will need a fettle ,

Few other bits and bobs to get it all working .

But back to your first question , Wiring is pretty much standard .

 

sound pretty hard

 

indy yor email dont wok, i was on the understanding that it was stright forwad,take the complete engine out of modeo and put it in to my escort and basicly plug all the plugs in,what tweeks does the mount need,thanks or ll the help

 

indy my email is

robert@jones1669.freeserve.co.uk

can u email me with what have to change like plugs,exhaust,stuff like that

 

engine mount need a small amount cut from the back to allow it to clear the 16 valve head .

as for just pluging it all in , well , as previously stated u will be needing to fuel 1.8 l

a ecu from a rs1800 may work or a fiesta 1.8 Xr2i ???????????????????? the looms look similar so this may be a better option for you , youll still need to do a couple of mods but the maps will be correct .

If your gonna use a 1.8 zetec use the Escort one , the mondeo uses a different inlet wich fouls on the Mk 4 bulk head , the sump is also different and the exhazust will be another thing to add to the to do list .

Water pump will need replacing as iut goes the wrong way and although u can get away with the oil pump , again the 1.8 escort is a better option as you can put a larger filter on .

Dont want to put you off hear bud as it isnt as bad as it sounds , but be prepared , i bet there are loads ofpeople out there who think its a question of " just plug everything in "

well its a little bit more than that .

 

cheers for the help,wat would be easier to do to get my ar fasterdont realy wana mess with the internal engine to much

 

TBH mate , id say turbo it , But thats what i do to all my cars

if you were askin Fast ford this question they'd say some shit about a filter , zorst and cam , Ł500 for 15 BHP , whoop de fookin do !!!!

Your limited mate , if u dont want to fork out on a nice S2 , and your happy with the car just bite the bit and get the engine swaped ,

it's not to hard ,

If u wann call me ( 07879 648 628 ) ill be able to explain a little better than typing shit on hear all night , as long as you have all the bits befor you start then its only a few days graft .

 

i realy wana turbo engine but its changing the loom,and getting hold of a smashed up turbo

 

if you want to turn it into a 1600 cvh EFI turbo , itll be easier than the zetec rout ,

Low comp pistons , T3 turbo , intercooler , 2 pin changes on the ecu , frst ecu and a new rad , Jobs done .

 

that sounds a bit easier how much would it cost for a damaged frst

 

u dont need a full car mate ,

this is a list of parts that you do need

Ofac ECU
frst Ofac Map sensor
Inlet charge temp sensor
Erst intercooler and pipes
Erst Rad and fan
charge pipe
header tank
turbo

PISTONS

thats about it

 

i might just save up and get an erst,whats better erst or frst,is there alot of problems with rst,what are punt gt like
