bluliz Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 My mate has got a 1.8 zetec out of an escort, its only covered 500 miles. Due to the car losing it backend. Poor escort . The engine was to go in his brothers GTi, the previous woman owner of the GTi did not know what oil was. Blue smoke all the time. He ended up getting some random bloke to do a 2.0 conv and pipercams. 1 of the cams snapped and the other is scored and putting metal in oil. The car still runs on the 1.8 ecu, runs a lot better than it did 4 months ago. How do you tell what bhp it is? Codes on engine? if so where? Or is it just the ecu that makes the 15bhp difference? BTW whats a good price for the engine cause its mint. 300? 350? Cheers
Dunk Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 well you can buy a brand new 2.0 ltr zetec from ford for around £600 I think (Mike C will correct me if im wrong). The only 130bhp 1.8s were out of the XR3i Mk5s and the Cabriolets again I think. If it was out of another GTI or SI or something its more likely to be a 115bhp. Hope this helps Dunk
mutley Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 if its got a great big EFI manifold it could be a 130..(im sure they had them in the mk5's) if its from any mk6 at all its gonna be 115max
Mk6 Si Ross Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 ford did make a few 130ps GTIs.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> no, they didn't
mutley Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 ford did make a few 130ps GTIs.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> erm no they didnt.. thats a fable mate
Mike C Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 I always though the GTI's were 130bhp too <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 115, but i'm lucky enuff to have one that is 121.9BHP LOL!
2ltr_Rst Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 I have to say though mate, yours is the nicest looking GTI I have personally seen
Mike C Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 was it just the xr3i then with the 130ps<{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah, some mk5 XR3is and some MK6 Si cabs I have to say though mate, yours is the nicest looking GTI I have personally seen cheers mate, it's awesome to hear things like that, Fast Ford told me the same too! gotta mainly thank "Pete" and "K3V HA" for that tho, but there's plenty more still to come!
wrc gav Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 thats where i got mixed up with the mk6 cab and the gti....there nearly the same

BadBoy Remixed Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 £600! damn zetec's they want £900+ for a cvh
Mike C Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 £600! damn zetec's they want £900+ for a cvh <{POST_SNAPBACK}> get a 2nd hand Zetec, Lee. it'll be well worth the hassle doing the conversion, much, much, much better engine and can pick up a 1.6 or 105 1.8 for next to nothing, even a 115, 130 or 2.0 if u want
