You can get fairly good power out of the 2.0l pintos jony. Cheap and cheerful tuning too

[b0yracer]

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?

im going to drag race it

thanks youve backed up what im saying, i know my pintos and thats what i want something i can do myself and know how it works

[jonyb4]

my old man used to put his foot down in his 2.0 capri lazer on round abouts and we used to spin facing the other way lol

we done that coming out o silverstone for trax one year

[b0yracer]

how have they done this or were these made ?

[russ-RST]

looks made to me buddy

[- Danny Boy -]

Yeah thats been made by someone Get a 2.0 pinto! Can get loads of power from them! With the right mods you can see over 200bhp easy!

[b0yracer]

hi everyone im back !!! ive still got the fiesta and now im gonna start more mods on it, im gonna strip it lower it put bucket seats in harnesses etc and bigger motor when i find one probally 1.6 cvh

the sierra went to ford heven it was not good, then i got a renault megane and gave my wife the fiesta but today we just swapped cars so now im on with the fiesta

it wont be a quick project as im not rolling in money

[jonyb4]

oo wondered what happened to you

love the plans

[b0yracer]

give me a list of what i need to convert to 1.6 cvh on carb

remember i had a going on about ecu when i was going to upgrade to 1.3 hcs earlier this year, so my biggest question is what do i do regaurds ecu when changing to 1.6 cvh do i need a ecu??

thanks dave

[jonyb4]

carb'd engines dont use an engine management, so no ecu, its a slightly tougher job considering yuor going from efi to carb

best thing to do is lose all the loom from the engine bay and put it aside, but you will still need stuff like fuel pimp prime and oil pressure and air intake temp... i dunno lol its a bit of a Bic™

best off converting to a Xr2i engine with Mpi
would be far easier all you'd need then is the engine, inlet and exhaust system complete, fuel pump and loom and ecu, preferably the gearbox too, done

+1, except id go the full hog and zetec it mate

if youre getting a cvh try and pick up an old xr2i, or a scrapper, get everything in one

[russ-RST]

Or get an RST mate it's a very easy conversion I done mine in November and would regret it if I put anything else in instead tbh

[jonyb4]

if your going for average power, the 1.6 cvh is perfect, its easy many around and straight forward

if your going for more power, with promising development in the future, a larger zetec or RST engine
which i dont think he wants

[b0yracer]

cheers guys but i just want simple cabr/dizzy/coil 1.6 cvh it will be much better than the little 1.1 im no good at all at understanding ecu injection and lots of wiring.

surely all i need to do is wire in the coil/dizzy through ignition obviously still use my original wires for oil water alternator and starter, and disgaurd all the edis coil pack cfi wires

am i on the right track with that??

[jonyb4]

like is aid mate i cannot say

best thing is to simply try it and see, if your not relying on the car you have little to loose, if it goes funlumps up refer back to the 1.1

[russ-RST]

That's all I wassayin it would be far easier to stick with injection than move over to carb you just swap the loom and ECU from your 1.1 ECU to the new loom and swap ecu's is very simple it is only the engine loom you need to change to.. An xr2i engine would best suit you IMO

[jonyb4]

agreed

mind you'd want the fuel pump too, it would be hampered by a 1.1 pump

[Michael!]

Do the xr/rs' have bigger fuel tanks?


I'd stick with injection too... an rs engine would be awesome but pricey!
Just a normal 1.6cvh will give this enough poke mate

EDIT: you'll need;
Ecu
Engine loom
Both mounts
Engine
Fuel pump

Probably a new clutch, would you be using the 1.1 box with it?

[b0yracer]

no i want a box to match the new engine my 1.1 box is s**t at going into 2 coming down

[Michael!]

Checked the fluid ?

Mate of mine has his 2i on a 1.1 ib5 and it runs sweet, fast too

[jonyb4]

No all mk3 fiestas have the same 42litre capacity (the 2 litres is the reserve, after the needle has reached the bottom of the gauge


both mounts? only 1 on the engine, but yet it will be needed


even if the 1.1 clutch would fit it be almost useless as it would likely slip under power

[jonyb4]

Mate of mine has his 2i on a 1.1 ib5 and it runs sweet, fast too

he aint strictly wrong, thick old mucky oil can make changes stiffer, but not 1 gear on its own


its faster on acceleration due to the gear ratios built for the 1.1 engine being close and short

it will hamper top speeds

[russ-RST]

I got a whole RS turbo with mint interior for 400 quid so there are good bargains out there!

Yeah I agree an xr2i dinar car would bs perfect for this

EDIT: you'll need;
Ecu
Engine loom
Both mounts (there is only one engine mount ?? )
Engine
Fuel pump (yes although my RS ran ok on the 1.3 for quite a while lol)

Probably a new clutch, would you be using the 1.1 box with it?[/quote]
If you get a low milage one or a dinar car you should be fine with sticking with that clutch u have lol
Depends how much of a budget you gave for doing this with? I thought you didn't have alot.... And I would defo run it on the 1.6 box as with the driveshafts I have looked at my RS shafts and the 1.3 shafts and can see no difference at all so Im still on the 1.3 shafts as my donar was a mk3 and my car is a 3.5

[russ-RST]

Also i would grab 1maybe 2 metres of fuel hose as when I done my 1.3 to RS conversion I found the fuel line that went to the single point injection wouldn't attach to my fuel rail so just used fuel hose has worked fine for me

[Michael!]

posted it from my iphone, and the screen looks like marble

i meant "engine mount"

[b0yracer]

painted drivers side body kit today




stripped out inside the other day

[b0yracer]

and passenger side today




also im pissed off right now as i bought a cd player from argos today it worked but has no power at all now, its not the fuse, its not the wires as ive put the old tape player back in and that works, my cd was in it but ive managed to retrieve it.

back to argos tomorrow

[b0yracer]

duhh i sorted the radio, a loose wire

[jonyb4]

usually something daft

aint argos selling a range of cd players now then, heard about it when i worked for halfords as they knew they'd loose business

they even offer free fitting

[b0yracer]

collect my vented discs and calipers tomorrow they kept them behind counter for me at my local scrapyard

[jonyb4]

hope you didnt put your self too much out of pocket

[b0yracer]

£16.40 for the calipers and discs i got new pads


my old discs were not much good

[jonyb4]

god i hate it when pads do that!

i honestly dont know how they do it, all my cars have always had fantastic condition brakes

its only ever when i buy them theyre like it if at all

same story for you?

[b0yracer]

i knew the backs of discs were a bit dodgy but didnt realise they were that bad, yeah they were like that when i got the car
