[Dave G fsi]

[jayrs]

thats CFI tank mate

[Ratspeed]

Love it mate!!

[knuckles]

havent looked at a pump yet
whats the best suited externally ?

will need some sort of bracket and somewhere to bolt it too

[jayrs]

most use one bolted to the bulk head, ill sort some details out and let ya know on msn tomorrow or thursday mate

[black2]

Looking good - very clean shell as well.

External pump wise im using a sierra 2.9 xr4x4 one which is the same as the sierra cosworths and it works fine. I made (well dad did) a steel bracket for it t sit on and its bolted up neatly to the floor out of the way so nothng can hit it. I will try and get a pictureof it for you.

Nothing wrong with owning a few fiestas either - and trust me you will love the mk2 with a 2.0l in it. It may sound silly but they are incredibly rapid i would say its easily as fast as what my FRST was when it was running 200bhp, they just weigh so little - If you have the hand book with it and look at the weights for the 1.1l iirc its about 760kg.

[jonboisescort]

adam wants to turbo this mk2 at some point !

[jayrs]

dont bother with the turbo mate, you wont want nor need it.
years back father inlaw had a 2 litre mondeo, and that was rapid as $hit, that lump in a mk2, jesus, its gunna be greta, i cant wait to get my xr2 finished, although at my rate, your be done long before me

[black2]

You'll love it

You using the fiesta SI loom? From what ive seen of other people conversions and my own (using fiesta si loom) the FSI route is by far the easiest. Just make sure you run the VSS on the gear box

Gareth.

[knuckles]

Looking great Clark, and I'm with the others - a 2litre on its own will be plenty in a 700-odd kg car!

my managers mk2 mondeo with a 2.0 lump is a very quick car so i cant wait to get the 2.0 in the mk2.

we plan to kit it out with Xr2 suspension all round with 30-40 mm drop springs and try to fit 15 inch steel wheels with 195/50/tyres to help with the power.
Exhaust wise we will need to apapt a stainless xr2 exhuast onto the cat convertor which i got with the engine

[Ritchy-Fingaz]

You're a lucky man, one day i'll find one for myself in that condition! Are you gonna run a thread in the gallery or anything? Because i wouldn't mind keeping a watch on this one!

[knuckles]

[Ritchy-Fingaz]

Sorry, what a plonker. I came accross this in new posts!

[jayrs]

fit 45 profile tyres mate

[SEG1]

Clark that is a good fooking find.

i fort you would have keep it standard with that mileage

and no rust

it will be a pocket rocket with the 2.0l.

i would also like to have a different fiesta for everyday of the week

big up Clark and all his fiesta's

A ture FIESTA MAN!

[jonyb4]

agh seems every time someone on here lands them self a nice fairly-mint condition mk2 it makes me want one more and more, i already want one bad as it is

any money ill find myself browsing ebay later looking for the prices, mind me asking the region you payed for this clark? id seriosuly consider one of these as a next project if they were at a right price

and whata bout zetecing them? easy, hard, expensive?

black you could have insight too i believe?


im gonna keep my eyes on this mate, looks like its gonna be a good read

good find mate

[knuckles]

whata bout zetecing them? easy, hard, expensive?

havent done the conversion yet but im sure black2 will give you any advice you need.

with any conversion there is going to be bits that are hard or tricky but i got alot of my advice and info on Xrtwo.com.
Jay is a good source of info too

And with any project - yes it will be exspensive ... unless you like cutting corners

Why are you keeping the cat?

[jayrs]

thats what i said to him, it doesnt need to have one as the car is too old, i aint fitting one to my xr2 2 litre

[black2]

Defo no cats required. The emissions is read for the vechile and not the engine, which to me is strange but thats the way it is.

Mines been through the mot and the emissions with the 2.0l zetec was the same as the figure given for the 1.1 engine. Im using a scorpion system with no cat.

Gareth.

[Smo]

I think it's actually whatever is oldest... Some people can run RS Turbo lumps in cars that originally required a cat without needing one for the MOT

aint that the truth haha

[knuckles]

Why are you keeping the cat?

i bought the engine complete with all the hoses , rad, cat, hego , fuel filter etc.

i thought the engine had to run a hego to run correctly ?
the hego i got is in the cat convertor

No cat and no egr are required It will run just fine - one thing which is very important to use is the lamda sensor in the exhaust though ive got a 4 branch manifold on mine and the lamda screws into that, im not sure where it goes on the standard mondeo system though?

Gareth.

[knuckles]

i have a blue sensor in my cat

is that the lamda sensor - round plug ?

I will have a look for you later chap and get apic of it for you.

Gareth.

[jayrs]

on the mondeo its on the down pipe.

lambda sensor shouls have a square fitting, like the sort used for the front spot lamps on the rs
