Georgio Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hello people.I am back again after some time.Since I couldn't find my old car presentation here we go again...It started as a 1.4 cfi,but after some search i decided to transplant the engine of the Fiesta rst.Since no one near my homeplace had done it before,and similar transplants were really counted to the fingers of my right hand as we say in Greece,i had to self improvise on some things.The same transplant but with the S2 engine have been done on many mk5,but not the engine of the fiesta.But enough with the talking...Here are some pics: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0133.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0130-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0136.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0137.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0135.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0138.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/DSC00006.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/DSC00003.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/frontinterior.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/backinterior.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0470.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0190-1.jpg Any opinions are welcome.I am thinking of changing the leather of the rear bench and use only black leather...I want a change in the interior...

Georgio Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thank you fekyo,I really like it too Thanx James.Yes it is a pleasure to drive now,I was tired of the sluggish 1.4...I also thought the S2 rs turbo engine solution,but i wanted something more sophisticated,so i went for the efi.I allready start thinking of installing a megasquirt,or perhaps a stage 1 chip to increase performance.Trouble is that the gearbox is not equipped with LSD so it could be a problem...I have the 1.4 gearbox and although it hasn't showed signs of fatigue,i am in the process of thinking to replace the gearbox with something better before increasing power.I also have a complete RS2000 rear beam with disc brakes ready to be fitted .No time unfortunatelly Kalispera ganges.Se eyharisto poli. That means goodevening,thank you very much,(in case i confused you ).Yes,i try to look after it,i love this car.The previous owner didn't respect it much and i try to give it the attention it needs.Sometimes ti drives me mad,but tbh,a sunny Sunday morning after a goooooood wash,it keeps making me smile when i drive it.I look after it,and it gives me pleasure in return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgio Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thank you David.Here are some photos during the transplant: Here is the baby that is under the hood now http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0090.jpg Garrett T25 from a Saab http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0092.jpg Old loom out http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0110.jpg Mess! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0109.jpg Without exhaust manifold,during the re-wiring http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0107.jpg Custom downpipe http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0115.jpg It was really fun when I started it for the first time to test it,without exhaust exhaust at all!Only the turbo on the manifold.lol! The FMIC without the bumper...Car is filthy in all photos due to garages it was at this stage... And a picture with the old bumper which i coped for the intercooler.Didn't like it,i couldn't fit the fog lights,and also didn't like how it was...so it is in the bin now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithyandco Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I like it! I'd only really change the front lights to RS2000/Cossie width Morettes... But I guess they are a little hard to find! Possibly drop it a bit more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgio Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Damn...i just noticed that in my previous post there aren't all of the pics I was intend to upload...also i noticed i can't edit my post...How is it possible?I can't see any button for editing...Anyway.Here are the missing pics: The FMIC without the bumper...Car is filthy in all photos due to garages it was at this stage... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0119.jpg And a picture with the old bumper which i coped for the intercooler.Didn't like it,i couldn't fit the fog lights,and also didn't like how it was...so it is in the bin now http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/IMAG0128.jpg I like it! I'd only really change the front lights to RS2000/Cossie width Morettes... But I guess they are a little hard to find! Possibly drop it a bit more! Well,i am thinking of changing the headlights in the future,mostly because the right hand side has a broken subframe and it is not seating properly.But it is not my top priority for now.Also I was not thinking of dropping it any more,i already grounding it often,mostly on the front bumper.Crappy Greek roads It hurts me every time i hear it touch the ground...

Georgio Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Today the post officer brought these two: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Georgio59/Radiatorfans.jpg I think that I will be BUSY in the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I strongly recommend an LSD if you're looking for 200bhp+, although perhaps in Greece it's not as much an issue as here in England with our greasy roads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 What sort of engine spec is it? Any idea on BHP so far? I'm not overly keen on the cut-out bumper, I think it needs a bigger intercooler to pull off that look, but it's nice to see someone still modifying a MK5. Don't see many 5dr Escorts with turbo power either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
