Right if you had these options! zetec mrk one, 90k miles known ecu and any thing ellse i needed for 300 quid with a 30 day garantee... or an unkown engine from a mondeo with every thing i needed for 300 quid no garantee.... with no details, [ERRR] would you do? oh an the 1st one i heard running the other one i cant !

[Dave106gti]

I'd keep looking mate, one of my friends bought a low mileage rs1800 lump for £200 the other day

[unknown_user]

need the engine in there for friday relly as thats when insurance starts....

[Dave106gti]

If ya gonna do a job, do it properly......
Take out your insurance and then amend it when you get the new engine

[unknown_user]

Thing is iv been looking for a while for an engine most people say they have no knoledge of details, miles etc! as there all insurance write offs! but one place let me hear it running and garanteed it for 30 days? ud not b happy with that? or would u take the risk on anouther engine u dont know nothing about? there rare engines!!

[zetec69]

These engines are definately not rare mate. I would have thought the answer was obvious given your two options. Buy the one with the gaurantee that you have heard running and know it's mileage rather than the other one which you know nothing about.

Personally I'd wait for another engine but using your options go for the first one.


It's just common sense

i agree, but would u deffintly want to see it running, went back and looked at that engine and it wouldnt start... the guy at the other place has about 4 engines! there from insurance write offs... he said hes never had one come back but he would change it so that i had a woprking one if any problems did arise! but it would mean me taking the angine out... so i wouldnt know untill i bolted it in my car!!!! ill just put my insurance start date back 2 weeks i can always bring it forward that way ill have no rush!! i will find a decent one this saturday!! sorry for rambling on!!!!!!!!!!!

I would wait for one that you can see running if possible but I have bought engines in the past without hearing them run and they've been fine. Bit of a gamble though really.

I see ! i might take the chance with this guy from bath he said for 300 quid i can have what i like from the car! (engine wise) so what should i take!!!!!!!!

[xr2i 1649]

i just spent 20 mins looking in
old mag 2 get this 4 u
this is out of the dec 2000 F Ford
and they say they r good
it's dragon group on 01246859200
they do lot's of frod lumps from 1.1 up 2 the st200
all the best

[unknown_user]

oh nice1 mate... do u think it would be about 7.5 seconds to 60 running frm a 1.6 box in a fiesta??

[xr2i 1649]

the thing is a good std 2l has 130bhp 0 2 60 in 9.4 (in a mondeo si)
and the rs180 std has 130bhp 0 2 60 in 8.3
the thing with the 2l is more tou
so i think 0 2 60 in about 7.9 that's as good a frst
but ur car will run all day and night and not go BANG

(but that wot i think)

O and that a std 2l
the best 2l N/A can get up 2 250bhp
but that cost a lot

[unknown_user]

You think it will be that quick do you?? i need to find one 1st damn engine'less wiltshire!!!!!!

[Ian C70T5]

But thats the risk mate..

Buying and using 2nd hand engines is a massive risk, when you consider the time and effort needed to take out/put in an engine..

We can only advise you with common sense mate, if it works, use it, if you know nothing about it , steer clear..

There are no real easy guarantees! UNLESS you build the enginer yourself, or get it REBUILT professionally and fitted and get a guarantee

I know you want this conversion, but you've been posting loads of the same thing in all the forums, you've got to bite the bullet mate

[Ian C70T5]

Its also going to be a lesson in gearboxes for you too mate.. depending which one you use?!

[LeeB]

It seems to me that you have already made up your mind.You want to buy a certain engine and you are looking for people to agree with you.

lee

[unknown_user]

Yeah i know, bollox to it if this breakers yard has a tidy looking engine in Bath im going to buy it... had unuf of fuking around looking. ah iv looked for gearboxs before and fitted them i fitted a busted one of those and had to fit anouther i know how anoyying it is! i was going to use my 1600 zetec gearbox it will fit???????

[Ian C70T5]

It will fit, but it probably wont last a great amount of time, plus the ratios aint great..

Personally i would fit a ERST Gearbox with an LSD..

[unknown_user]

yeah i can imagen it killing it actually mate since the engine i have now killed one... ill do it when it dies!!!! oh and if i can take what i want from this mondeo [ERRR] would you take??


Sorry for posting alot about 2L engines etc

[Ian C70T5]

no worries mate, i know.. its VERY exciting doing the upgrade, i'm still rebuilding my car..

I'm not 100 up on the Si to 2L conversion, but i would take, engine and ECU.. but unsure of anything else. sorry

[unknown_user]

Ah ok, i need to speak to phill !! or some1!! sept im not doing the upgrade! some guy is for me! for 80 quid he will have it done in two days!

How much is it to recondition an engine! any1 got any info on it???? or a webby

[Ian C70T5]

Anywhere from few hundred quid to thousands mate, depends what you want on the rebuild

[unknown_user]

Do you think 850quid is alot for a recon'd zetec 2L engine?

[xr2i 1649]
