too many people out there dout i even own a fiesta so i had to prove them all wrong and i did even work on it today!




was well supprised to see the pistons and bores all in pretty good shape
just a shame they wont be for very long once its all back together

[Pez]

It'll never run with that cylinder head on mate.

Is that kitchen roll tube some sort of home-made induction pipe?

Is that kitchen roll tube some sort of home-made induction pipe?

i ment to remove that, but i used kitchen roll down each bore and a load of oil so that they didnt start to corrode, also why there is bricks holding down the oil soaked news paper

[Captain Tightpants]

Mate, you feeling ok?!!

Steve

[MotorcyclesFish]

Lunatic.

[SantaHul]

how do we know thats YOUR car?

[FezzR]

santahul look at me site

JDfiesta well spotted

[Captain Tightpants]

What manifolds that then dude? I see an external wastegate flange!

What are your plans? 0 psi?

V-Interesting conversion! Could be a poss with the ka!

What are your plans? 0 psi?nope

V-Interesting conversion! Could be a poss with the ka! i wouldnt, this is made to blow the engine, lol

Steve

ill talk to another time im sure we can share input as per norm

[heeman10]

What the fook are you doing? I see a party-blower flange!! Limit set to 8psi...once 8psi is reached the party blower is blown to release excess pressure

*ssssssssss fnarrrrrrrrp!*

Hmm, very interesting! Im intrigued now!

I'm looking forward to seeing those pistons in a few weeks(months!)!

Really? I care this much ><

[Stoned]

Oh I remember your Fez well enough Ian, it was a complete shed

Has much changed now?

[Max M4X WW]

HCS Turbo?

[purple_fiesta]

nutter!

[andyhardy]

Wicked - me and Grant have spoken about this conversion for the plopper many times!

I'm glad someone's going ahead with it - I've got a feeling the engine is really going to surprise us!

£10 says that the oil pump or chain will snap first

Is it going to be CFi or carb mate?

Cheers,

Andy

[royalwithcheez]

where did you learn to fix cars? Blue peter?

i think you should say weeks/months after the conversion lol who knows how long it will take me

cheeky coont, just cos i gave up on the smoothing and didnt bother painting it lol.

HCS Turbo?

yup

nutter!

donno [ERRR] to do about the bottom end, could work on it and try and actually get some real power.

hopefully niether!

where did you learn to fix cars? Blue peter?

i havent yet

[Smo]

Is it going to be CFi or carb mate?

hopefully niether!

I'm guessing Ka EFi bits

At least that was the way I thought about doing it a while back

running how much boost?

[Smo]

running how much boost?

You could have just left the question at "running?" lol

They were just thoughts and were very unlikely to ever get much further

I'm definitely going to be watching this with great interest though - so you better bloody do it!

[FezzR]

the reason i said that was because the if u use soley ka bits youd have maximum boost of 0psi as it wont recognise positive boost and run lean.

you clearly dont know be to well id be suprised if the car ever gets back on the road lol.


from looking at the build quality of the head it is extremely heavey and stong, but, the accuracy of machining is just shocking, hopefully change that tho.

Oh, I weren't suggesting that the management be used, but the head (if possible/needed - should imagine if it was needed, it could only be used on the 1.3 block?) along with the rest of the inlet/injectors etc and then run on some other management. No idea if FRST stuff could be used well, but I reckon it could be made to run.

Like I say, these were only thoughts I had a while back, but I'd probably give it a go if I could get the bits cheap enough.

Is yours a 1.1 or 1.3?

And hey, even if it doesn't get back on the road - would still be a cool to do

[FezzR]

heads i would have thought are identical, only manifold differ, ka being plastic, and aparently the plastic ones are crap.

frst or similar is probably the plan, reseaching that at mo,

head work and turbo to head adaption work starting 2moz hopefully.

EFi and CFi HCS inlets aren't compatible afaik - injector cut-outs won't seal properly iirc...?

when you say injector cut outs do you mean like :-


cheers for moving the thread btw as i was about to ask you too for this update anyway

about to upload pics of todays developments

[FezzR]

heres todays small progress,

valves out

combustion chamer examination

inlet side, notice horrid coolant channel

top

exhaust, were you can see, the port is even smaller than gasket leaving carbon debosites, and port obstruction.

[FezzR]

todays progress = small

removed valve stem oil seals
removed thermostat that was well and truely corroded into the head.
removed temp sensor
degreased
purchased caustic soda

just need to find something big enough and resiliant enough to dip the head in the caustic solution now
