ive got the 1.8 130ps sittin in my garage.
and ive already fitted the whole efi system, manifold, injectors throttle body etc

i was considerin 2 options

1 to keep the cars original block. just put the head on to go with the injection n sort out a remap but i dont no wahich maf n ecu's wil work for that????

2 a full engine transplant bearing in mind the engines done 12900miles but everythin looks sweet? but again i dunno bout the ecu n maf

i have been told the 2litre ecu wil work but ive got to graft on the 2.0 maf which has bigger bores?

[frostie]

iam doing this same conversion in my fiesta si got a 105ps xr3i engine and going to make it 130ps ive been told that a 2.0 ecu will not work and a 2.0 maf will not work

we need a rs1800 ecu late spec 94-95 at the beggining of serial on ecu also named CULT

and a rs1800 maf as all mafs are configured wrong apprently

please tell me if you seek any of these

[Oranoco]

I'd keep the original block and head and transfer the cams and inlet etc over. This will save a load of grief re-registering the cars engine number as it won't have changed.

You need the ECU and MAF for a 130PS car RS180, Escort XR3i 130 or Orion Ghia Si 130. HTH

i have got the ecu( code - 2FBC) and maf from the orion i got the engine from...

but ive been told it wont work as orions and escorts run external edis... somethis to do with power steering?

ive also been told the 1.8 n 2.0 r dif from the 1.6 so if i put just the cams in it would smash off the valves???

but puttin the head on works as some1 i no has done it?

The ECU you have will not work because of the differences in the EDIS, nothing to do with the power steering.

As Oranoco has told you the easiest way to do the conversion is to put the 130 cams in your engine and swop the inlet manifold, throttle body, injectors, MAF sensor and ECU. The ECU you need is CULT.

ok then chees for the help

but 1 thing is stil unanswered

can i put 1.8 cams in a 1.6 or do i have to swap the head?

wouldnt i be beta swappin the head anyway??? bigger valves etc etc?

[Raymondo]

You cant put a 1.8 head on a 1.6 block. Drop in the 1.8 lump youve got

[spike]

if u cant put a 1.8 head on a 1.6 block? how come its been done???

but im def rebuildin the 1.8 before i put it in... just gotta find the ecu now got a maf sensor.

But why would you want to do this even if it was possible? just put a whole 1.8 or even better 2.0 lump in.

[spike]

just for the sake of it really, if somethin can be done n uve got the stuff... what u got to lose? time? got plenty thanks lol

just listen to advice when you're given it, dont jump down people's throat.
there are some knowledgable people on fsi.com and ft.com.

if you wanna put the 1.8 head on the 1.6 go ahead, we wont stop you. but dont expect miracles.
we're just trying to advise you on what would be more economical for you to do.

Read above.

I hadn't realised you had a 1600. I assumed (wongly ) you were asking as you had a 1800 in there already

i am takin in wats said, sorry if i snap at times. i wana make friends ere...

im the kind of person who wil cross the road or climb the mountain simply cos its there. i like makin things takin stuff apart n learning

thats why ive designed a new injection system for my 1.8 bein an engineer by trade its not too hard ill do a post on it when ive got enough photos n technical info etc etc.

fewk knows if any1 will like it or even believe it wil work but im gonna try anyway lol

[chumkila]

your a nutter! go for it if you like and makesure that you post all the info on here if you do.

But as it's been said above if you like tinkering etc, you should slot in something better and mess with that because I guarantee you'll end up going down that route at a later date.

[spike]

the 1.8 is bein moved to a mates for the rebuild today, ill get some pics n start a new topic on the rebuild, plus ill keep u lot updated on the crazy scientist (me) buildin the injection lol
