ive got a 1.1 mk3 fiesta and i want something bigger but still want my car, becasue of insurance i cant go very big just want something a bit better, will the engine out of a newer car fit, dunno wot the 1.25 zetec engines r like and how much better r they compared to my s**t engine suggestions please

if you want more poke but still cheap insurance , go for the 1.4 cvh. pretty sure the swap wont cause any headaches if you swap everything, fuel tank, fuel lines etc.

hope this helps a little.

I know the 1.3 engine is a straight swap and I found after driving a 1.1 and a 1.3 that the 1.3 does have abit more to it, nothing impressive, but it is noticable.

Just put a 2.0 in (had to say it before someone else did )

i used to have the same problem with my puney old 1.1, but instead of changing the engine, me n my dad spent a couple of weeks stripping it down and re-building it, grinding in the valves, replacing god knows whats, then sent it to the local mechanic for a bit of tuning, and it came back with a top speed of 112mph when id be lucky to get 95 out of it before we started!

just playing around with the 1.1 engine is also a good laugh, get a few m8s over n make a weekend of it, plus you learn what makes ur car go!

i have a reconditioned XR2i engine - 1.6 CVH if ur intrested?

[wobblybob]

already put new rings in it which was actually fun, 1.6 is to big im only 17 so insurance is a Bic™, think i might be selling my fez and buying a 1.4 corsa cos insurance is cheap until im 18 and getting 1.4si, cheers

[wobblybob]

ive got a 4 speed at the min so it screams at 75 was thinking about putting a 5 speed in is it as simple as chaning the gear box or is there more involved???help me out im on the verge of selling my fez

Just drop a 1.3 straight in and grind off the engine number and dont declare it to the insurance company

Not smart, do not listen to this man.

Do not f**k around with your insurance.

putting better brakes on allows you to go faster, me and my mate just getting 95 everytime out of his 1.1 on a long straight!, but having to brake really early for the roundabout!

stik with the 1.1 for now and save up your peenys and go for a 2.0l mondeo lump with it being a zetec it will be cheaper and more reliable to run than a cvh

OK I'm a bit drunk and it's 4 in the morning in Southamerica so I hope I can explain what I'm thinking. The first fiesta that came to Argentina was the Mk 3.5 1.4liter, so we never saw the 1.1 and the 1.3 and this is what I think. If the engine block from the 1.1 and the 1.3 are the same then I would change the crankshaft for a 1.3 liter engine and then have the original engine numbers but with a littel more donkies under the hood You will certanly need to take the block for a very slightly cilinderwall rectify so the pistonrings can get a proper seal.

That's all fallks. Have a nice sunday

[wobblybob]

would this work?? would i just change the crank shaft and pistons? anything else??

[Badgerboy]

Piston bores will need redoing as well.

[wobblybob]

cool seems like a gd idea, will it not do any damage to the engine in general and will i not need to change the carb or anything?? seems like a plan
