BYE BYE TD ENGINE!!

Yes the pickup is now an RS1800 engine with deisel box.

Had a fun weekend... removing engine and wiring loom.. fitting another engine and wiring loom.. then all the associated things which can go wrong..

-wrong size aux belt sold to me (as always the case)
-general wiring issues

etc etc

BUT

its in and its working :thumbsup:

damn i missed that engine, and pulls so good with the derv box :thumbsup:

My only 3 pictures of the weekend... due to being too busy to take any.. plus its only a dirty zetec engine going into a dirty engine bay :rolleyes:

Now I need wishbones and track rod ends :rolleyes:

car was always on the block and tackle anyway so was safe :insanity:

Next plan of attack.. is to attack the heater matrix from the RS1800 and fit it to the Pickup.. it broke, so therefore only have cold air at the moment :doh:

While I am fitting that to the Pickup it will give me chance to sort my wiring out behind the dash... I dunno how Ford managed to get all the wires behind there, they are magical them people.. hmmm might even fit a MK5 dash while I'm at it 8-)

And take back the XR2i Zetec NON PAS belt and slap them with it, as its too short

and will try see which other belt I can get to fit when I can be arsed.. PAS pump is recirculating its fluid at the moment so its not gonna seize and snap the belt

But anyways... Pickup goes like stink now... :thumbsup:

Definately!

Lets hope the Derv box will do me some good for work.. 70mph is 2500revs... vs the RS box which was 3500revs..

To FITP, I had under 1/4 tank left when I got home.. my mate had 1/2 a tank left with the DERV box on his 2.0ltr :red:

So should see some nice MPG.

Also need to get new wheels/tyres on it, and then it shall look good again.. its current state inside and out.. it looks a shed

I'd enjoy it more once I get a new wishbone... its killing my tyre on drivers side and torque steering me to death :red:

All I can say is 12.5mph at 5.5k revs in 4th is a little crazy :devil:

Well the RS engine is running sweet as a nut in the Pickup :thumbsup:

First tank of fuel has done me 330miles with the diesel gearbox, and is in the red now... which is a major improvment compared to the rs box doing 250 at the most. This included 260miles on motorway doing a fair speed

Fair few jobs to do on it now, things have been breaking.. bloody cars :squint:
