Does any of we fiesta fans know what my max speed should be in my 1.3 (no fuel ingection ) 1991 van, bear in mind it is running on 16' mondeo alloys 195/16/45 The most i can get out of it is 90 (down hill). Oh ye it also has a full stainless steel powerflow system. If i am loseing power can we tell me where i am loseing it and how can i fix it. No smart comments please, it is just for the time being until i get the money together for my rst or xr2i Get back to me ASAP

The 1.3 CVH isn't that great really when it comes to preformance, out of my 1.1 i get around 80 on the flat, you might want to try Re-Grinding your Valves and Changing your oil, to see if you get difference, I think you should be able to get at least 90 out of yours have you got 5 Gears or 4 ? and it could be your Clutch slipping, <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif"> hope this helps <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif">

I changed the oil just last week,no the cluch is not slipping, and i have 5 gears

ive got a 1.0 and when i did my pass pluss <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif"> i went on the motorway, and i managed to get up to about 90 to over take things. would this c*** up my engine over time? ive got a 4-speed gearbox. would putting a new 5-speed gearbox in make it any quicker? <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif"> thanks phil

Yup, will reck your Engine in no time, and No it won't make your car any faster, it will make it slower, the reason you don't have a 5th gear is becuase you wouldn't go anywere with an Overdrive Ratio

My original (1991) 1.3 carb engine was good for about 105ish on a good day on the flat <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif"> . I put 15inch alloys on and according to the speedo i struggled to top 95 <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/frown.gif"> ! I was running 195/45-15 tyres. - the engine was a low milage full history one too! i had to loosen it up considerably tho <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif"> - the previous owners (all two of them) were women who just pootled about!

bigger wheels should give you a higher top end as they have a bigger rolling diameter? <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/confused.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/confused.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/confused.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/confused.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/confused.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://www.v8fiesta.co.uk/ubb/smilies/confused.gif">
