Mondeo 2.0L Zetec = 130bhp
Insurance = Group 9 if you use HIC
Brakes = optional but you really need them!
Rear discs = for look only, if no money then don't bother
Performance = should be slightly faster than a RS1800
Cost = 275.00GBP from MMOgenius, labour only

if a mondie engine is only 130bhp then why do so many ppl do it why not just buy a frst???isnt there a 2l engine with more power that u can fit in??for all the effort of changing engines id want more then 130bhp.

because with a fiesta turbo comes a little RS badge on the back spanking your insurance right up to group 15. ouch! where as by sticking a 2.0 Zetec in you'll be sitting in group9 with similar performance figures.

130brakes not bad youth...i'd happily take it rather than my 90brake on the old si. :D now where did i leave that spare £500?!

you also do not need a rear disk conversion to run a 2.0 in ur fiesta although it would be a little help if u uprated ur fronts. :)

The effort and money is much lower than getting a FRST... especially a reliable FRST.

But they are not as easy to fit nor as cheap as the Zetec-E from Mondeo 93-00.

mondeo 2.0 are 137bhp but have good torque.
basically with a chip and exhaust and induction kit you would have about 150bhp and big tourque which would throw a fiesta along brill,
theres no turbo lag either so it makes a good drivers car.
i have a 2.0 head for sale here http://www.escortbreakers.co.uk/mk5/engine.htm

Who are HIC? An insurance company? Do you have their contact details?

Can you give me the contact details of MMOGenius?

wasn't there a mk5 escort rs2000 which had a 2.0 150bhp engine, would that still be a straight forwardish swap?

If you want to get in contact with him, you would be better off PM'ind his other half, Xr2i Chick as he doesnt check on here very often.
