hi all ive just been given a carb and exhaust manifold from a escort 1.4 will these two items bolt straight onto my 1.3 mk3.5 and will they improve performance at all

wont this take my car to about 1.4 as im using the carb and exhaust manifold so ill be getting more fuel/air due to bigger carb and the exhaust gases will escape quicker due to wider manifold designed to work with the carb

Different engines, they wont physically fit.

how do u mean wont fit size or mechanicaly

dude, the only way is to get a bigger engine. you can do all sorts of expencive stuff for very very little improvement if ya want.

just stick a K&N in there, maybe change the ignition leads. thats about it.. oh and power flow exhaust system. all that will give you.... ooo..... about 2hp gain if your lucky

you could alway's get rid of everything inside the car sept the drivers seat and the dash. that wopuld make it lighter...

its not exactly exspensive was goin to do it myself just wondered if was easy and possible before i have a go tommorow wondered if electrics were all the same as the carbs bout same size so should physically fit

[aboutblankrule]

i ment th expencive stuff being getting the engine rebuilt, changing throttle bodies, boring out things, uprating things stuff like that.

[fiestamk3.5]

orite totally agree then wouldnt dreem of getting engine rebuilt or bored out id just put an rs in but cant afford insurence at mo so was hoping to add a little power fro as little money as possible

A 1.4 would be a CVH, and a 1.3 a HCS I would imagine without knowing exactly, the manifolds are different and just wouldnt fit.

[fiestamk3.5]

ok so the manifold may not fit what about the carb as its almost same size and looks like has same setup do u think itl fit
