this summer i intend to work my ass of at little chef and earn some cash this will all be spent on my 1995 M reg 1.6 si. i am looking for more power not too fussed by looks any suggestions will have about £800-1000.

2 litre zetec lump or nitrous

[Nick 2i]

Stick a 2.0 zetec in


The 1.6 zetec isnt the best engine for tuning, as it doesnt respond very well!

you would get 136 bhp as standard from a 2.0.

Ask if you can work on commision, and sell tea!

You'd have a cossie in two weeks!

Little Chef, Little robbing baxtered more like!


erm 2 litre!!

iv thought and heard quite alot abot puttin 2.0 zetec in an si and wondered:
- is it feasable (what other parts av 2 b replaced)
- will the insurance hammer me
- how much does it cost???

cause i am seriously considerin it
cheers people

It's perfectly feasible. Ask Phil from this site about it, he's got a 2.0 Mondy engine in an Si. And you get the fuel consumption from the 2.0 Zetec too, which is about 35mpg according to Parkers.co.uk. Well, if you don't rag it everywhere .

My insurance company told me that I would have to be held against a wall and anally violated for three days if I wanted a 2.0 Si, but I have heard that some nice places will insure you on the insurance group of the car the engine came from - so in your case, group 11/12. Obviously you've got to get an engineer's report and stuff to prove it's safe though

Dunno about the cost, sorry. It's not too bad though.

Around £400 max! Apparently !

You will need to build a space frame to mount the engine onto.

Then you will need to employ 6 small Irish or Norwegian nuns to internally inspect every passageway in the engine.

You will need a headgasket knitted from the finest lamb's testicle sack wool, bolted down with pure unobtanium wingnuts.

Finally, installation will have to be carried out in the caves of Mortor, under the watchful eye of the ringmaster (but avoid bending over in front of him).

Your destiny awaits you my child; now go fly!

How hard is it to put one in a 1.1 fezzy then! theres a challenge! (not that im planning it lol )

[Gav]

I don't think it's much harder than swapping a 1.6 for a 2.0. It's the same sized engine bay

It is as the 1.6 has the same mounts etc as the 2 lite. The 1.1's mounts,raditor, loom, fule tank etc etc etc are different
