I was just wondering what the top speed is in a 2.0 litre MK3 Fiesta conversion, and how quick can it go from 0-60. I'm hoping to get a 2.0 in a couple of years when my insurance will have gone down.
Cheers

Totally depends what gearbox you eventually use for the conversion.

The Si gearbox will be doing 122mph @ 6000 rpm. The couple I've been in with that setup were doing 0-60 in about 7.5 secs. If you go for a diesel gearbox your 0-60 will be slightly effected but the top speed goes up to about 145mph @ 6000 rpm and fuel economy is much better when plodding about.

i did the 0-60 at ford fair in 6.95 seconds in my 2.0 xr2i at ford fair. i havent got a clue what the top speed is, i can see it being around 120mph, but the acceleration is what its all about

[hb69]

Yours does have 150 bhp though, Henry. Are you using the 2i box?

apparantly it does. i dont know how though. and yes indeedy im still using the cvh 2i box

[JayC]

ive done 120 on one of those private roads you see dotted about the country... 2.0 on si box on 55R14

[JayC]

if you dont mind me asking what setup you using to get 150? MS?

[HCS PIMP]

my si 1.6 did 120 mph or near enough so dont know what epople are on about the 2.0 not reaching that speed the problem is ur shoe horning a 2.0 engine into a 1.6 sized engine bay u need a tubular zorst and a rover inlet plenium then get some proper ecu and a nice rs1800 gear box with a sport clutch and itll do whatever speed you want probs stopped at 148mph by ecu and gearing if anyone wants to buy and si off me and fit a 2.0 in with my help yopur welcome and ill even throw in my uprated supsension and 3.5 big bore zorst make me an offer before i kill my new escort and put a new engine into the bear

no its basically standard mate.im using a DEWY ecu and rs1800 inlet, 2.0 tb and some universal air filter.

heres a link to my thread. i think its about page 5 it was rolling roaded

i could only get my last 1600 si to do 110 then it just went nowhere.. it was also a single owned mint example which i twattishly rolled.. but it wasent ragged out thats for sure.... BOOTIFUL car..
i dont think anyone has said they cant reach 120 on a 2.0.. more just asking what is achivable.. but i dont know what you mean about the squeezing a in 2.0 as its identical to the 1.6 thats already crammed in, theres certainly no need for a rover inlet on a stock conversion, nor a tubular manifold, a descent ecu is always good for any application as is an rs1800 gearbox in this perticular swap..

i just think if your trying to say you need all the above to get a 2.0 into a fiesta.. your wrong, if you mean how to get a good tune out of it then your proberly right..

if ive misread or youve maybe not said what you mean then forgive me, but your statements seem a bit misleading...

hb69 im impressed with the figures man! very nice car you have there too... im still 1600 inlet which sucks ass a bit, still undecided to go focus route or rs1800..

cheers to be honest id go for the rs1800 inlet. ive not looked into the focus inlet really, but ive heard it involves rewiring bits, and im pretty sure the rs1800 item flows more than enough for a standard 2.0.

It's that time again, we're all getting another barage of hilarious comments by the Pimp!

[DK]

1.6 Si doing only 110mph? Surely it must do more. I managed to push my 1.3 to 110mph on the M1. Was frightening. Damn HCS engine, at that speed, doing just over 4000rpm, sound like its gona blow!

[Maff Si]

My Si never managed more than 115 and that was downhill !

[Big Walker]

1.6 slip streaming an Omega 123 on speedo. At 104 speedo is 99 GPS verified so i reckon somewhere 'bout 116 / 117

[muz]

I got 125MPH in my CHV XR2i with 3 people in the car. But the clocks read wrong over 100MPH anyway so that probably about 115 which is around the book speed. Even though I've seen some times in FF of 2.0 converted Fiesta doing 92 MPH! I guess its just down to the set up and the engine in question. Oranoco I believe RR'd his standard CHV xr2i at 125 BHP.

[bankxi]

iv had 130 out of my 2.0 zetec not sure wot box it is but as i see it i can get to 60 in 6sec ish and 130mph so sounds gd 2 me

[JayC]

well i might have the times of mine sunday... if it doesent blow up on me..... im so paranoid recently

[bassdominator]

I currently own a Mk5 Zetec Sport Fiesta and I would like to know if anyone has any info or knows where to get info on doing a 2.0 engine conversion?

I know that PumaSport do a 1.7 Puma conversion (155bhp) but I would rather go for as 2.0...

Any ideas links or related forums would be much appreciated!

Cheers
Ben

[JayC]

well the 1.7 is easier on the zs than the 2.0.. and makes more power?

[lloydwillard132]

you can take si's past 110 because my mate got his to just slightly pushing past 120 with more to go probly not much but still a fair amount so probly around 125.as for mine i dont know yet but should do soon.

The RS1800 inlet maxes out at approx 150 bhp so that is when the Rover Turbo inlet comes into play. The main issue is with a bigger TB and/or bigger MAF sensor the ECU still wont know it is getting more air so can do nothing about it (it is a myth that the ECU will learn/adapt etc). You really need to go aftermarket management to get the best out of these mods but I would not even bother and fit motorbike TBs or the Rover inlet from the start.

no it doesnt! why has S1 decided to use one over a fiesta turbo inlet for his latest build of his zetec turbo engine if it maxes out at 150bhp?

The rover item is prob just as free flowing as the zetec inlet its just with the turbo kept in the std position it routes the air away from the hot turbo on a turbo engine. Never seen one used on a N/A setup before!

Maxes out at 150 bhp for NA not turbos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nutsack, how can it only flow 150 bhp without the aid of a turbo ??

[Wardy257]

Well the whole point of a turbo is to push more air in!!!! Hence more power.

At standard air pressure the inlet just cant allow enough air in for the engine to make more than around 150 bhp. The inlet runners just aren't wide enough.

[xrsi]

thats all to do with pressure differentials not physically how much it can flow

[fezzRS]

well a tuner has told me i can get my fiesta upto 195 bhp with omex andm inehas the rs1800 inlet on also modfied head

[Wardy257]

Good luck. I have only seen that on engines with headwork, cams and TBs.

[JayC]

he did say the cars had headwork.. but ithink 180ish is reasonable for a 2.0 with the right gear without head work.

[Wardy257]

The important thing is the inlet. With TBs easy, with the RS1800 inlet that you seldom see above 150 bhp.

[fezzRS]

the inlet has been modifed

[SiZT]

how has it been modified??? bear in mind the RS1800 inlet is basically a 1.6 Zetec inlet thats been widened a bit and isn't really suitable for a 1.8, let alone a 2.0! try and get an American Zetec Engine Inlet Manifold, this is very similar in design to the T16 inlet but adaptor plates aren't needed.

[Tweek]

This thread's getting silly now!

Answer to your question DNO, 2.0l engine on a 1.6 Si box will do about 120-125 and the 0-60 is about 7 seconds

[CossieDan]

what will the difference in economy be with the 1.6 or 1.8 gearbox?
at the mo i get just over 200 miles out of 30 quid normal driving, meaning occasionally putting my foot down but not motorway driving or anything (dunno if thats good or bad?)

edit: thats in a 1.6 ghia
