p4u1 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Hi guys anyone fitted a rs2000 engine into a mk5 fiesta looking at doing it myself and wondered how i go about engine mounts. Would the rs2000 mounts work and il change the box to a ib5 so i can use normal box mounts on that, what flywheel would i use to be able to use a ib5 box ta guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Whats wrong with an ST150 Lump? It would handle better for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 wasn't there one on ebay with that done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danj8608 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Rather do the st150 engine imo inlet on the front ideal for throttle bodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 There's a guy with an thread on www.rs2000-16v.com Paul, that's worth a look, as he's done the very same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Rather do the st150 engine imo inlet on the front ideal for throttle bodiesAye, a much better choice that would cost less in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The Duratec might be better, but it would certainly cost more to start with IMO. RS2000 engine would be decent in a MK5 Fez I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 RS2000 engine would be decent in a MK5 Fez I think.It would, but no reason for all the extra effort, for a worse performing car than an ST150 would give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivewangers Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 What extra effort? Is the Duratec a straight swap? I can see it being easier to fit the RS engine with a simple non-PATs loom than wiring up a Duratec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Ahhh, im thinking of a Mk6 Fiesta. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 take a look at shawspeeds website, i think they did the 2.0 duratec conversion for the mk5 fiesta, i think currently they are in production for a turbo kit for the standard 1.6 engine at the mo! the easiest conversions on the mk5 fiestas are 1.6 zetec s engine and the 1.7 puma 125 engine, the 2.0 duratec does in with a squeeze but i think they need custom mounts etc just like the rs2000 engine would but the other engines are just as good! i've known tuned 1.6 zetec s engines getting 150bhp with some decent mods.

Ahmotorsport Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Get 200bhp from a 1600. My Pa reckons he can get 250bhp with enough £££££. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 indeed thats with serious cash for internals etc, but for simple bolt on mods like 4 branch manifold, 2.5 inch diameter straight through exhaust system, shawspeed cams, chipped, and quite possibly some minor head work can see 150.

massivewangers Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) I can see a cammed, 1.6 with head work, mapping etc costing more than an RS2000 conversion Edited April 22, 2012 by massivewangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
