i was thinkin of getting a 1.8 zetec rather than the 2 litre due to me being young and all. would i have to do the same modifications to the 1800 as to the 2.0?

[SantaHul]

2.0 will only move you up 1 insurance group wont it?

which 1.8 engine anyway, mondeo? i imagine the rs1800 engine would be more expensive because its like, group 14 insurance

[Stoned]

Yes this is true. If you get an RS1800 engine your insurance will go up to group 14 since thats the group of the donar car

But if you get a 2.0L mondeo which is even better than the RS1800 with more torque... it only rises to group 9 insurance which is that of the mondeo 2.0L

Which is a good thing I reckon

suppose it depend also if ur doin it ursen

if ur a competent mechanic the 2l will be worth the effort, but if ur not the 1.8l will slot straight in with only a couple of changes to other parts, whereas the mondy will need the sump changing, new efi unit etc

2.0 engine will go in as easy as a 1.8 won't it? according to that guide it's dead easy and i dont see how an engine can be much more similar to the original

or were you thinking of a different 2.0 engine?

[Fiestasi-Andy]

get a 2.0 engine & ECU & MAF from the same age fiesta as yours

EASY

My 1.6s is group 9, does that mean the insurance will stay the same with a 2.0l?

[Sports Injection 16v]

does a 1.8 mondy engine need the same changes as the 2 litre mondy

[Johnny_16v]

i just want to know for sure what do i need to do to get a 1.8 mondeo engine in a fiesta 1.6 si 16v

[zetec_si]

I think if you get a 1.8 from a mondeo it will still need some of the bits from the fiesta. Its a mondeo lump so it will have the mondeo sump etc which won't fit.

Go for the 2.0 mate, theres only a few parts that you need to swap.

[Fiestasi-Andy]

He's right

[Excursion]

Go down to a 1.1 - cheap insurance.
