hi all, i have myself a 1.6si and ive done a few engine tihngs to improve performance such as K&N induction, denso plugs, fse boost valve etc but i really need to be thinking about an engine transplant, now please dont laugh as i dont really know much about engines and therfore i would really appreciate some help, ANY help
now them, im 17 years old, just pased my test and my insurance is at 780 quid which isnt too bad, so...
1: what is the best choice of engine to put into my fezzy?? i know i can put a 2.0L zetec mondeo lump in there, what about an escort/fiesta rsturbo engine?? if thats possible??? or please tell me any other possible enginges
2: what is the performance like on a 2.0L zetec and any other possible engine conversions? ie. top speed/ 0-60??
3: Insurance!!! being only 17 i dont want something that will kill me with insurance so which is best for insurance out of the available options?
4: price? i am looking to spend No more than ?2500 on this, actually i was hoping for around a grand but ?2500 only if it really appeals to me. now theres no way i can do this myself so could anyone give me a few rough ideas on prices and who can do engine transplants?
i know it sounds lazy but i just want to be able to take my car somewhere and for them to be able to do everything i.e.
get the best possible engine of my choice with good milage, and provide all of the neccesary parts needed and of course to fit it and then i dunno a few days later or whatever i can go and pick it up and be happy forever.
please any help will be much appreciated, if you dont want to give out info on the forum please pm me or email me at [email protected]
On the other hand, if you're serious, a Zetec turbo could be on the cards (which you're getting into the serious power now), or throttle bodies (which sound fooking great 
).
