would it be easer and cheaper to buy a frst engine or can i convert my 1.6 8v cvh into the frst?

its the sme engine so it cant be that hard.or is it?

 

Get the RS engine my friend, you need the oil return, lower compression etc etc...

Love the Quagmire by the way, quality programme! Gigggity giggity

 

ha ha ha "Gigggity giggity oh right".nice 1 matei think the rs engine will slot right in,but im suer i have to move ther rad out abit.nice 1 butt

 

RST box has LSD as well, you will require mangement as well, is your CVH carb?

 

do all of the rst boxes have lsd? could i just swap the ecu for the frst.i presueme it has.its a 1.6 cvh 8v

 

Oh ye sure if you are using the FRST engine and you get the ECU and loom as well it will work. Pretty sure all ERST have LSD, not sure about Fiesta imagine they would have.

What I was asking was if your current CVH is carb or not?

Kind regards,

Martin.

 

erst's have lsd but its crap i think tbh, im just going with a 3i box till funds allow a focus rs box. id go with a well documented rebuilt engine from a frst and ofab frst management. if your car is a esc and efi already get the pins altered in the loom to work.

 

yes it is a carb


im just lookin to put in a frst engine and tidy management and lsd box.

but wots the best to use?

 

don't no much about the box's mate but being a carb you will need the hole engine loom back to the fuse board, i'm doing the same to mine once fund's allow, but i'm sticking a frst into my esco, so think some gigery pokery will be in order, but frst run on efi and is alot better than the mfi on erst, so would leave as is and this ofab ecu milarky haven't heard much about it but it's supposed to be the one if you want a frst.

 

tidy.can help eachother out then lol

 

Thats the reason why I know if it was carb, you will need to start from scratch with the loom and will need fuel pump, relays ETC.
