Hey guys first off am new here and this is this first fiesta i have owned,

just finished putting a 2.0L zetec in it and am quite happy with it but feel there is room for more, so i would like some advice on what way to go with bike carbs or bike throttle bodies, ie how easy to do what to do and what i need if i need ECU or can run standard ford one,

cheers guys

Darren

welcome too fsi darren, hope you enjoy your stay

i've not really go any experience with either bike carbs or TB's, but for an emissions point of view i'd stick with Bike TB's

your best off pm'ing sk8xtrm on here as he did a TB conversion too his fez a while back and had it running on standard mangement

or pm will121 i also think he's using TB's/carbs(cant remember which) on standard management, both the guys above had to make an enclosure over the TB's/carbs and use a maf sensor

will did a guide, i'll dig it out for you

edit:- here it is

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=17588

but to get the most out of the setup i'd got for aftermarket management

cheers mate and thanks ill keep looking into it, i only got the wee Si for a winter project, but now am addicted i have a wee love afair with her lol

no worries buddy

get some pic's up in the members gallery, if you have any other q's just ask

Hi, glad to hear you are enjoying the Si

think it depends on what you want to achieve and how much you want to spend,

ive done motorbike carbs on a 1600 CVH engine, and done some for a 2litre zetec works well but only issue is running carbs with a CAT doesnt really work, option with swapping it all back to injection just for MoT though

as for throttle bodies on standard ECU i done a basic guide as highlighted above, it works and produces an extra 10bhp and breaths/rev's a lot better. cost me about £200 to do with 149bhp.

to get the most from throttle bodies requires a programmable ECU then you can do away with the MAF which with other mods is what im currently doing they are anything from £300 megasquirt to £650 emerald/Omex ECU this should see upto 160bhp with ported head and decent cam's im hoping for 175-180bhp

If you got CARBs I have a set of bike carbs which have been used a few times with users on the mk2 xr2 forums with 2.0ltr zetecs. they are 38.5mm I think.

All you need is to sort the fuel pressure with a bike pump and not the in tank pump, and use a wiring loom from a 1.3 for ignition

so any more detail on the carb setup if its simple and that ill go for it

yeah this has a coil pack so dont know how that would work with the carbs its all EFI just now to, cos if i put the carbs on it and removed the ECU and injectors MAF so on she wouldnt fire, is there a way around this?

you couldnt use the orignal EFI ECu just for spark, but believe the 1.1/1.3 has a separate ignition only module indepandant of fuel with a ignition/spark map/profile that will run a zetec

nice one guys cheers for all the advice ill look into getting it all sorted an set up, just finished some body repairs and its going in for a lick of paint monday, will get some before and after pics up, al had a spare NOS kit kicking about so thats in it the now as well lol

been doing some more looking around and am gonna go for the carbs,

so to recap all i need is

:manifold plate (i can weld) so can make the bodys fit right
:ESC unit
:600cc Carbs (what needs to be done to them? or do they work out the box so to speak?
:fuel pump to match the carbs ie from the same bike, (how would i fit this?)

cheers guys
