has anyone ever tried to fit a 2.3 zetec engine out of a galaxy into a fiesta before ?

[paradox]

ive not heard of it but i have been thinking about a capacity increase of a 2 litre zetec.
I had no idea galaxys had a 2.3 litre zetec engine.

maybe some one can put some more light on this subject

the galaxy 2.3 isnt a zetec, its an I4 engine. Basically a bigger verion of the 2.0l unit used in the mk5 and mk6 RS2000's

I've seen a 2.0 I4 RS2K engine in a Mk3 Fiesta, the 2.3 I4 out of the galaxy is the same as the 2.0 I4 its just the bore, stroke and the head thats different.

I've been told a engine mount needs to be fabricated and then you can use the RS2k flywheel and clutch and use the CVH box, then an exhaust needs to be made and that the basic's of getting the engine in.

I'm not 100% sure of the above info

XFactor had a RS2000 engine in their old demo car I believe. Never heard of a Duratec in a Fiesta (as yet) but Ian Howell of Area Six is creating his first monster Duratec as we speak so he's always worth a bell

nope XFactors was a Zetec on throttle bodies not an I4 lump

There definately has been a mk3 on here with a RS2k/I4 engine. It was a red track car. I'm quite sure most people were saying it was a poor engine choice as it's so much heavier than the zetecs.

isnt adamb putting a 2.0duratec into his mk4? cant remember where i read that but i certainly remember something like that.

And there was a fez on ebay a while back that was having a galaxy engine put in, im assuming that would be the same 2.3

[RS_Raz]

wouldn't he be fitting a duratec from a focus?

There seems to be a few different variants of the duratec engine and I'm guessing the one from a focus is similar to the zetecs in the mk3 and the ones from the galaxy are similar to the Escort RS2k engine.

Also heard of an 8 valve version? I think someone said it was in the SportKa....

Well I dont know what I'm talking about, maybe someone else does.

Very true. The I4 engine, as strong as it is, was based on a cast iron block and head assembly, and is therefore very heavy for a light front drive Fiesta. As said, the I4 has been fitted to a Mk3 Fiesta on this site somewhere, although i cant recall who it was. A novel conversion if you fancy something different and more than 2.1 litres, but again, beware of the weight penalties.
