right all u smart ppl out there :wink:

need some help

once i finished the int/ext looks of my car want to do an engine swap so...

is it possible to put a Zetec-S engine into a mk3 fiesta 1.1LX?

will it be a straight swap or will i hav to replace anything like the speedo/rev counter or the gear box or anything else?

has anyone done this? reason i ask is cus i want somethin better than a 1.1

and the Zetec-S is only insurance group 8 or alternativly any suggestions? (please dont go on abt a RST or 1800 engine

too expensive on the insurance)

thanx ppl

Why not buy an Si engine off someone who's gona do a 1.8/2.0 conversion on it as the engine mount points will be the same?

by **lawson** on Mon Jan 20, 2003 3:36 pm

guess the Zetec-S wont hav the same mountin points then?

suppose Si engine would b cool, what kinda performance do then hav 0-60 & BHP?

cheer

duno bout 0-60 but i think its 90bhp.

Zetec-S is in a Mk5, dif chasis/body.

pretty good then, a few mods and it will b hittin over the 100BHP mark

any idea what the insurance group is?

Si 16v is Insurance group 8 mate

by **lawson** on Mon Jan 20, 2003 3:47 pm

BHP MPH 0-60 MPG
Ford 1.1 CFi 4/1119 55 89 15.8 46.7

Ford 1.6 Zetec S 4/1596 103 112 10.2 38.7
Ford 1.6 S 4/1597 90 108 9.3 36.2
Ford 1.6 Si 16v 4/1597 90 110 10.4 35.6
Ford 1.6 XR2i 4/1597 110 118 9 36.2
Ford 1.8 16vXR2i 4/1796 105 113 8.9 34.5

whats the difference between a S and a Si? didnt realise there was an S? :-?

Isn't the S a carberated 8 valve, as in old XR2 engine stock being got rid of??

Anything will fit with work but I don't think z-s will be the easiest choice. As far as insurance goes I wouldn't read much into the groups, engine transplants don't really fall into groups as such. It is cheaper for me to insure a frst than insure mine with frst engine in for example.

No its a 1.6 zetec. Only zetecs in xr2s were the 16v xr2is.

zetec engine mounting points are NOT the same as a 1.1.

For my 2.0 conversion, had to redrill, strengthen the chassis etc.

Yep. You do not see many of these about because they were only made for a couple of years and were right back at the MK3 Fiestas begining.

They are 90bhp like the Si but accelerate faster below 70'ish for the loss of some top speed.

Carb too so not suitable for any modern fuel injected card. The only reason you would want a 1.6s engine was if you had a 1.0 carb engine etc you wanted to upgrade.

Yeah it is the old carb 8 v out of the mk2 xr2s.
