Hi, everyone.

Is it possible to put ERST or FRST engine to mk1 Fiesta without any major changes to the engine bay (is it just bolt-on change)?

Nice site and lots of juicy fiesta`s around :grin:

You'd be better off selling the Mk1 and getting a Mk2 if thats the route you want to take. Many mods required to the chassis rails etc to get the 5sp and a Turbo in there.

If you're after a challenge though, you could go the 16V Zetec route like me...

You can buy a kit from the fiesta centre to help you make it fit more easily.
