Post subject: | 1.3 CFI Zetec conversion |
Im really sorry if im asking questions which have been answered already, I have searched through the site and Google and cant quite find what im after! I recently got given a low mileage solid MK3 Fez its the 1.3 HCS (which definitely doesn't stand for "High Compression Sport") ![]() I want to have a bit of fun with it and drop a 2.0 silvertop in but leave it looking completely standard (apart from some wider steel wheels and obviously some bigger brakes. I know this is a tried and tested conversion so ive been doing research but still have a couple of questions... Is it worth it?! How do they go with a 2.0 lump in, i take it the fact they weigh very little helps!? Can i retain my gearbox for shorter ratios, if so what clutch/flywheel set up do i need? Do i need to change the fuel tank or lines? Any help would be apperiated |

id say it's definitely worth it. Only been in one standard 2.0l si and i couldnt believe how torquey it was. couldnt answer on the others bits, but i'm sure someone will help you there! You'd need a zetec flywheel and clutch, but im not sure how compatible they are with your gearbox. Any ideas which box the 1.3 has? is it fuel injected? |

In short you need many parts of the 1.6 zetec fiesta. You can keep the gearbox. Is it worth it, hell yeah! I miss mine so much. |

Wow this was a year ago! Few bits have changed on the car, it managed a charity rally to Germany and back, a weekend in north wales and a trip to Amsterdam. Ive had fun in it so nows time for the conversion, ive had zero spare cash of late due to paying for a weddin which by the way are DAMN expensive ![]() I still want to go down the rat rod/sleeper look so heres what she currently looks like.... ![]() ![]() I also cant get my head around why there is no rust, which to be honest is part of the reason im bothering, a rot free shell is deffinetly hard to find! ![]() ![]() So once again any help with what i need to go 2.0 would be great! ![]() |
