I was thinking of investigating in doing a

2.5 24 vale mondeo engine conversion on my xr2i or future frst:


= 170 bhp standard
= Top speed 139
= 0-60 8.0 seconds (that’s in a mondeo so imagine in frst shell)

Plus u add a t3 turbo = 50-80 BHP

That’s 250 bhp with turbo

It’s a 2.5 v6, Litres count, and it’s a Zetec bags of torque and eats up the miles, how about supercharger it even if not a turbo?

Comments please?

Rumor has it the engine wont even get close to fitting in the bay

[Excursion]

It has been done several times, both in the front and rear of a mk3, and a few times in a mk4 also.

[Stoned]

How did they manage that?

Surely the engine bay had to be extended?

[acstua]

i know they have stuck them in focus', tho that prob dont help yer ;P

and ive seen a few mondys with superchargers and the 2.5 v6

awesome little motors

yer can get the ST200 engine, which is basically the same, but already pretty much tuned

[jdfiesta]

i've heard these engines are difficult to tune other than supercharge them.
think you might struggle to fit them in a wee fez. they fill the engine bay on the mondy and fez bay is tiny compared to that

You need to cut firewall slam panel etc etc to fit it in an Escort, I wouldn't even dream of fitting it into a Fiesta...

thats a big only lump to shoe horn into a fiesta , but i seen a corsa with a 24 valve 2.5 v6 in one of thoese giypo gliter mags, so i think it will fit with a lot of hassle, but then there is the weight of the engine to consider as well. not worth it really

Any pics of this? Or links to threads with information etc?

I was talkin to simon_ice bout doing this to my old mk3 a while ago
start pricing things up and you realise your gonna need a big ol' bank
loan.

If you do start the project post pics and good luck matey.

I think it would probably be cheaper/easier just to fit a 2.0 zetec turbo with 350bhp

get in contact with trust elecrical they'll probly set you straight if its possible they'll know i reckon http://www.trustelectrical.co.uk/

im gettin a 1.8 tuned zetec from em!!

[chumkila]

A Ford V6 isn't worth the hassle, time or money into a Fiesta imo.
