hi people, im doing a conversion on an escort from 1.6 to 2litre. Silvertop , im aware that ill need to change sump, and water pump on the 2 litre for 1.6 items. is there anything else i have missed and can anyone give me a quick guide on it

cheers people

i think its

sump
oil pickup pipe
water pump as they rotate the opposite way on the 2l (might be a case of swapping over all your anciliaries onto the 2l i cant remember)
1.6 or 1.8 flywheel and clutch.
then you'll need the modeo ecu, one of a couple of codes and a fairly simple rewire of the connector.

if you go onto www.feoc-uk.com i think theres a how to on there. if not theres a few people on there who have done this conversion a few times.

ok thanks mate, might go down the 130 spec 1.8 route now as ones come up at a decent price

phil_focus

seriously mate i'd go 2l!

135 bhp for the same money as buying cams and throttle body (if you look around) and more torque than the 1.8. then you;ve got the increased modability of the 2l as 4-2-1 manifold, decat, cat back and pannel filter should see upto 150 bhp.

hmm thats true mate,

to start with can i use my 1.6 flywheel, clutch and IB5 box? also can i retain std manifold and downpipe. been looking at a few 2litres now

phil_focus

yes you will have to use the 1.6 flywheel and clutch and you can keep your box.

you might have to use the 2l exhaust manifold. i hink you need the 2l inlet manifold aswell.

get yourself onto feoc, they will help you every step.
