what's involved here? i know that i'll need a new loom etc. how BIG of a job actually is it? :???:

I really need a bigger engine but cant be arsed going for anything smaller just cos it's easier to fit (i.e. a 1.6S CVH or similar) as i'd rather just have what I want straightaway!!! :lol:

wot sort of insurance quotes have people had on these engines? Brad...i know u fitted ones of these???
Help appreciated peeps! :grin:

so what bhp fugures do they produce? the rs turbo is 1.6 right? less bhp than the rs 1800? am getting an xr2i engine in soon. then it`ll be a 2.0L mondeo zetec once bored. possibly turbocharged :grin:

by **Wooly** on Sat Oct 27, 2001 12:20 pm

RS1800, 2ltr Zetec and RS Turbo are all 130bhp

the Xr2i 1.8 16v is 115bhp (i think)

i think this is right

by **Muzza** on Sat Oct 27, 2001 1:28 pm

(clears throat)

I think you will find the RST is 133Bhp

Early mondeo 2.0 is 136bhp

Ford technical databook lists 1800 zetec+turbo at 130 bhp

yes some 1 plz answer the post as i'm quite interested in doing this project myself :smile:

by **Danny 2i** on Sun Oct 28, 2001 8:09 pm

come on!

by **zetec69** on Mon Oct 29, 2001 8:01 am

Mine was a lot easier as I didn't have to touch the management etc and the RS1800 engine has very sinilar ancillaries to the Si 16v-water pump mounts were slightly different but apart from that all was ok. Oh yeah I needed a different starter motor aswell.
You'll probably need the engine with bits like starter,management, throttle body,mounts,water pump, airbox, gearbox, then maybe radiator etc etc. I would buy a salvage RS1800 and then you know ALL the bits are there or strip an RS1800 from the scrappy. PaulRS1800 might have all the stuff still-not sure tho.

by **Danny 2i** on Mon Oct 29, 2001 2:57 pm

no..its the fiesta rs1800 engine i'm going for....if i were to find an rs1800 as a whole car with nothing removed, would that have ALL the bits i'd need to make the installation? :???:

by **Danny 2i** on Thu Nov 01, 2001 12:32 pm

anyone know? :???:

by **snake** on Thu Nov 01, 2001 3:11 pm

Would an Rs1800 have all the parts to turn your car into an Rs1800-If its a complete car, yes :rolleyes:

by **Danny 2i** on Thu Nov 01, 2001 4:54 pm

thanks! just wondered in case there were bits that needed modifying to get it 2 fit...that's all! :grin:

cheers dude! :lol:

by **Project** on Thu Nov 01, 2001 6:57 pm

WTF you wanna do it?

Just use the RS1800.

Unless you're out to scam the folks upstairs, but that's not such a good idea now, is it :rolleyes:

Look out, numpty in the making folks!

by **Danny 2i** on Fri Nov 02, 2001 6:18 am

Think i've got a mashed up RS1800 so im gonna use the bits that i need for the engine swap off that....... :wink:

you need to drill two bigass holes in the chassis rail for the zetec engine mount

by **Danny 2i** on Sat Nov 03, 2001 3:15 pm

yup! got everything sorted as to wot i'm gonna do now!

by **VR6** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 9:42 am

erm, why dont you just buy a RS1800 to start with?

by **Danny 2i** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 10:02 am

well i would...but i done loadsa a work 2 my car already so it'd cost me more now....this wasn;t in my original plans but just an idea i thought of! :lol:

anyways...i would have only stripped the RS out 'cos im having a full respray! :smile:

by **AdrianFRST** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 10:06 am

Cos then he'd have to do all the body mods again, swap the suspension etc again.

Not to mention the hassle of getting his current car into a sellable conditions then going through the selling process, advertising it, spending time demonstrating the car.

Then locating a good RS 1800, having it inspected and HPI checked, engine looked over etc.

Also by selling one and buying another you don't learn anything about mechanics, how the engine fits in and what all the sensors do and how they connect up.

Plus if you get a written off 1800 it's gonna be the cheaper route, maybe even to the extent that there are enough parts not needed, trim, bumpers etc as to recoup almost all of the inital cost of the written off vehicle.

by **VR6** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 10:53 am

Does seem to be a lot of hassle for a car that wont be worth as much as just buying a RS1800 that was born that way.

Still, each to their own, I like football and drinking, you enjoy spannering and tinkering :grin:

by **Danny 2i** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 3:49 pm

What Ade said! :lol:

He's exacty right! It's as much to with fookin' around with stuff as anything else! I would never fully trust what someone else has done (they dont care about the car as much as I do) therfore if I do everything myself I can make sure that
a) everything is done PROPERLY and
b) that good care is taken.
My overall aim is to have a car where all the mods have been done properly and everything to do with the car is clean and to the best possible standard....the only ways I can do this are to either pay someone a LOT of money to do it for me, or do it all myself.

by **carl s** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 4:17 pm

just testing my sig and thought i'd ask why you didnt turbo it?

by **carl s** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 4:24 pm

trying to get sig sorted, fingers crossed

by **Danny 2i** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 4:32 pm

cool! its working! :grin:

did you use the link I gave you? :???:

and did the cheque arrive today? thought about turbo-ing it but this engine came up at a good price

by **carl s** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 4:45 pm

yeah, sent you e-mail about that, mines running 180brake, can you get that of an rs1800? wont be hearing no dump valve then

by **Danny 2i** on Tue Nov 06, 2001 8:09 pm

until i slap a turbo on it! :wink:

by **Excursion** on Wed Nov 07, 2001 6:36 am
