im planning to go 2.0l soon aswell. ive alredy upgraded from 1.6Si - RS1800 with no probs with keys and i have changed the ecu so i dont see y ford r telling u otherwise

by **Fiestasi-Andy** on Fri Jan 17, 2003 2:00 pm

by **chrissi16v** on Fri Jan 17, 2003 7:36 pm

il have to give it ago then but im stli not 100% sure what i need to get and to do for the conversion

by **zetec69** on Fri Jan 17, 2003 9:47 pm

Try and get the 2.0L from a mondeo at a scrapyard. This way you can take the engine complete(with all manifolds,throttle body etc etc)

Then all you need to do is put your 1600 sump on the 2.0L engine and put it all in.

Not forgetting to replace the 1600 ECU with the new one!

noooo the manifolds off the mondeo wont go i the fiesta.. u need to swap the fiesta ones onto it..
also the power steering pump etc

by **chrissi16v** on Fri Jan 17, 2003 11:52 pm

phil i dont wana b a pain but could u do a list of what i need and things 2 go from a 1.6 to a 2.0 thx

by **unknown_user** on Sat Jan 18, 2003 1:58 pm

With info on changing a 1.6Si engine to a 2.0L zetec? i cant seem to find any thing on http://www.fiestaprojects.com/ ??? i need to know exactly [ERRR] needs doing as i have a 2.0L mondeo engine complete with ecu and loom. would a 1.6 box fit on and do u recomend using that over the 2.0L one??? how much faster is it ruffly?

by **FezzR** on Sat Jan 18, 2003 5:30 pm

are the 2l manifolds to long then thus not fitting against bulk??

by **unknown_user** on Sat Jan 18, 2003 6:57 pm

humm what exhaust will fit a 2.0L engine in a festa Si???????????

by **Project** on Sat Jan 18, 2003 8:09 pm

Use the 130ps inlet manifold, or 105ps if you can't get the 130ps ones. The Si inlet manifold is slightly more restrictive (about 4mm narrower per strake at a guess going on the difference between Fraser's Si one and his RS1800 one.

I don't know how much more restrictive the 1.6 exhaust manifold is compared to the 1.8 manifold, but I would recommend fitting the 1.8 manifold and downpipe/cat combo.

hth

Btw, you can run the car on the Si ECU although I believe the 1.6 ECU and possibly injectors aren't up to the job, so fit the Mondeo ones.

i was going to get the inlet manifold of the mondeo... would that fit??? and for exhaust... i dunno [ERRR] the sceane is there... [ERRR] will actually fit! eventually i will get a 421 maniold... but i need summink for now.. will the mondeo one fit or will the si have to do!?????? as far as i know ill have to do the following....

change ecu (plugs straight in!?)
loom (fits as well!?)
put the engine in there!
sort the inlet and outlet manilfods out!(help!!)
put the 1.6 sump from my Si on to the 2L!???
dunno about gearboxes? i was going to use my 1.6 box as it will b faster?
i heard summink about a crank sensor?????? help!
and any thing ellse i have missed!?

is it easier to lower the engine in there with a crane (have acess to one), or from underneith???????

i need some help but i will have a 130bhp engine in my car... any ideals on how fast they are with them in!?

by **mattssi** on Mon Jan 27, 2003 7:31 pm

Im considering this. How much is a 2.0L mondy engine and everything u need ?

by **unknown_user** on Mon Jan 27, 2003 10:11 pm

250 i got mine for i can take what i want from the mondeo.....

by **Wude Si 16v** on Mon Jan 27, 2003 11:50 pm

don't mean to but in, but i get my car back on friday that has undergone the 2.30l conversion... my fezzy is still using the si ecu, is this a problem cos i thought it would be fine?

many thanks, Adam.

by **Wude Si 16v** on Mon Jan 27, 2003 11:51 pm

that meant to be 2.0 not 2.30... :wink:

by **unknown_user** on Tue Jan 28, 2003 11:23 am

Yeah my car goes in on thursday... it will run off 1.6 ecu, just runs better from 2L ecu!
