Hi guys

First post wee

I own a 1.3i Fiesta Mk3, but the 60 bhp is to slow for me, so a replacment of a bigger/faster motor seems to be the answer. But first i have some questions..

'90 1.3i -> ??? ... Is the CVH 1.4i any good? I mean will a feel a increase in power or is it to little to sense? I also were thinking of a CVH 1.6i from a Escort 1992+ with 105 bhp, is there a lot of trouble fitting that or is it a clean switch? I hope you could give me some ideas about what motor to use and why. I would rather prefer a motor where i don't have to replace that much, tank, wires etc. Last i were thinking if a bigger motor also increase the total weight of my fiesta a lot??

Thank you in advance

1.4 no point at all

1.6 CVH 8v - good but not fantastic
1.6 zetec 16v - better than 8v in my view and easily upgradable to 2.0 in the future



either of the 1.6s will be the same amount of work,

Very little needed to do the change, but as your is CFi, you wll need to chnage the fuel pump etc. If you do this conversion on a 1.3 carb, there is very little you have to change!

The added benfitr of this, is that you don't have to replace the entire bloody engine loom at the same time!
