Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral cossie engine in a fiesta

how hard would it be to put a cossie engine in my fiesta, i have seen it in the mags but wondering if any one knows of the problems it might cause or things i will have to do. i know it runs the opposit way.

also which cossie would be best a siera or escort

just carnt think of any other way to upgrade a fiesta with out changing it

Help

:go:

how about putting an RS Turbo engine into your fiesta instead? same size as the one youve already got.....just faster...and with a turbo. you'd still need to upgrade the brakes and probably the suspension, but it'd cost less than it would to put a cossie engine in there. There are a few RS Turbo Ka's around and they push out about 180bhp, so i cant see any reason why you couldnt do the same to your fiesta <img border="0" alt="[does this help]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions041.gif" />

I've heard the fiesta RS turbo is a handfull anyway,- loads of torque steer etc etc. So cosworth power would be WAAAAY too much

just imagine it u put ur foot down an there wud be no grip just smoke from the tyers!!! lmbo

ok then thats out the window

lmao

cheers guys

wot bout makin it 4WD???? loadsa grip then?

yeah, thats a good idea. have a look here: http://www.djm-motorsport.co.uk/4wd.htm theyve done loadsa 4wd conversions so they should have a fair bit of experience. the only drawback i can imagine is the cost of getting it done

Sierra cosworths are like £6k,- and Impreza Classics even cheaper, I don't think you'd get a 4x4 conversion and an engine transplant within that cost bracket.

how about this, i know pumaspeed and pumabuild put the 1.7 puma engine into the MK5 fiesta, surely they could put one in yours too! www.pumaspeed.co.uk or www.pumabuild.co.uk
it'd still make for a fast car and theres no need for a 4wd conversion <img border="0" alt="[smokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" />

Yeah that would make more sense, as the puma is basically a fiesta.

but hes got a 1.8 si already so wots the point in that!!

just make your fiesta RWD jay

or get N.O.S <img border="0" alt="[are u mad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" />

yer laughing gas seems like a damn fine idea. a 50 shot should be fantastic.

Not all engines take well to NOS,- no idea about the fiesta engine though.

RE: the puma engine, not sure what power the 1.8 fiesta outputs compared to the 1.7 puma,- more CC dosn't always mean more power
