i phoned burton power the person i spoke to said mk3 fiesta will fit but he didnt sound very convincing, he didnt really seem to understand when i said its a mk3.5 fiesta.

i had a similar conversation with these guys
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 772wt_1000

so i dont know what to do/buy

[fezza89]

i sent gmax an email with all the details of my car and they sorted me out with a set for 1994-1995 fiestas, i wish i just got a normal mk3, would of made life so much easier lol

[jonyb4]

what the hells this PI buissness all about then?

who what are they?

they make the springs or just a shop that sells them?

[fezza89]

just a shop that sells them on i reckon

i just found them on ebay on the advert there was a phone number so i phoned up but not many places seem to take me serious when i say mk3.5 fiesta

[fezza89]

i just give them the year of the car and see what they come up with

They're a company, not just a shop.

[jonyb4]

Well Ford never actually called it a 3.5, its just a figure made up by enthusiasts, same for 6.5 or q.t, fqcelift might be more appropriate to some.models like the mk1.5 focus, but yea give the year and sate its the later mk3

[b0yracer]

right guys, not to all your tatse i know, but ive purchased a 1.3 hcs for now its out of a N reg mk3.5 fiesta it was cheap and will give me slightly more bhp/torque for now, bigger upgrade will happen later.
ive also had a go at making my own pod for tim oil and vac gauge







had to cut holes top and bottom to allow for widness of gauges

[jonyb4]

looks tidy, what did you use to cut the hole?

midn me asking how much the engine cost?

[- Danny Boy -]

Look good mate Im guessing he would have used a hole cutter Jony lol. Engine should be a nice little upgrade from the 1.1 Got the ecu too? And is your 1.1 injection or carb? Just wondering because you will need the looms if its carb Keep us updated though

[MK2 Jamie]

His car is a MK3.5 so it will be injection.

[- Danny Boy -]

Ahh yes, I looked through the thread and saw I didnt read it before

[b0yracer]

its injection please dont tell me i need the ecu???
mine is 1.1 cfi (injection) im fitting 1.3 cfi, wont my ecu run it??
mines N reg mk3.5 and the 1.3 is from N reg mk3.5

[b0yracer]

well according to this link he ran a 1.3 with a ecu from a 1.1

fiesta-1-3-tuning-vt177671/

help anyone i know its not all your cup of tea but hey its a fiesta and im on a fiesta forum asking for your knowledge

one day it will go cvh or zetech but just for now your knowledge of ecu and 1.1 1.3 hcs engines please

also im running all my 1.1 stuff its basically the 1.3 engine block head (sump lol) using my original cfi unit temp sensor exhaust manifold etc etc, fitting new 25psi oil switch with T piece and elec oil pressure sender unit. ive looked in my haynes manual the 1.1 and 1.3 have same stroke of 75.48mm the compression ratio is only different between carb/cfi models so im geussing its only bore size the difference from 1.1 being 68.68 to 1.3 being 73.96 even valve clearance is the same not sure on valve sizes.

[b0yracer]

looks tidy, what did you use to cut the hole?

midn me asking how much the engine cost?

engine was £100 and no hole saw was used it was the old fashioned mark it out drill several holes , meet them up, then used a rotary bit in a drill to smooth it off to the circle previously marked

trial fit just waiting for vacuum gauge to arrive then fit them both in and wire them up

[b0yracer]

pic of the engine in my shed.

bump anyone( i dont want this part missed im gonna try fit the 1.3 soon, after a quick paint and clean up, but i dont have the 1.3 ecu)

[jonyb4]

you need to get the ecu, it will run on the 1.1 ecu, but it wont be right, it will under fuel, and maybe even rev funny

when i used my 1.6 ecu on the 1.8 it wrefused to rev past 4k and suffered in underfueling too

[b0yracer]

where is the ecu ?? and is it actually a ecu on this model or just something similar to a ecu i cant find any info on a ecu for a hcs engine in my haynes manual

[jonyb4]

look under the passengers footwell, up behin the dashboard, look up and theres a silver recangular box should have a code on a sticker at the bottem, this si the ecu, go intot he engine bay look behind the firewall (behind the jack and brace)

theres a rubber gromet with two size 10mm bolts its under here that you can unbolt and unplug it

[russ-RST]

shame you didnt do this when i was doing my rst conversion you coulda had everything you wanted for the conversion for chips as i only threw it
yeah johny is right on location of ecu its nice and easy to find just shove ur head in the passnger footwell and look up behind the dash you cant miss it lol as for removing it it has 2 10mm bolts either side on the outsside of the loom/plug and then a 10mm bolt on the inside holding it in keep up the work

[b0yracer]

i went back to scrap yard this morning car is crushed so no ecu, im gonna try it with my ecu
started painting engine today
second pic not very good its a nice blue

[b0yracer]

its not going in its staying as a 1.1 xr2ilookalike, and im getting something else thats faster without all this fudgekin about

[jonyb4]

oh well thats bit of a downer condering you just got a new engine

what you gonna aim for? hopefully a ford?

try an Xr or Si

[b0yracer]

yes it will be a ford and i will keep the fiesta for lindsey i will still add the other bits i have for it and lower it slightly its just staying as a 1.1, its not fast enough for me

im getting either cortina capri or sierra sapphire powered by 2.0 pinto, i miss my oldskool stuff and love pinto power

[jonyb4]

YES get a mk3 capri mate!

dont really see the buzz of a pinto tbh, old and unreliable at times, mind you never actually owned one just going from my dads experiance, never witnessed a 2.0 pinto either

glad your going to keep the fiesta though, would have been a shame to get rid of her

[b0yracer]

pintos are easy to maintain they are easy to get power out of lots of tuning parts available and very reliable engines

[b0yracer]

found this today put a deposit on it, its 1.8 glx, i will fit a fast pinto in it eventually, im also gonna lower it as low as i can, make it as loud as i can, paint it satin black, strip the interior and fit 2 x bucket seats and harnesses.
keeping the fiesta as it is, will paint body kit and leave it at that for lindsey to use.
this is my new toy.

[EUFez]

Soo you have two projects then? I bet your full attention won't go on the Fiesta now. Shame...

Sierra looks nice though. What do you plan on doing with it once you've tarted it up? Drift on the round abouts?

[jonyb4]

like the sierra, dont think it will be a very quick toy though theyre rather heavy

[EUFez]

Agree with Jony. Heavy sh*ts! What litre are they? 1.8? Not a 2.0 model is it?

I reckon your looking at around 1128 kg.

[b0yracer]

its 1.8 but i will be putting a fast 2.0 pinto in a tuned up pinto, yeah they are heavy but it will still go fast a xr4i will pull nearly 150mph my cortina was heavy but did 120 mph and was doing low 16 second 1/4 mile runs

[jonyb4]

lol i dunno about this pinto tuning, theyre 110bhp standard on the 2.0

the i4 they have the twin cam is a tidy engine, mind i dont think tyheyre very tunable if theyre anything like the 16v version

the xr4i have a good 2.8 which puts out 150bhp standard, much better engine to start with imo
