ryan_gwa Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 For all you people who have dropped a Zetec lump into a Mk4 Escort... Am I right in thinking that you need to modify the Engine mount? I can see the gearbox being quite straight forward as its the lB5. As for the wiring, how does the Zetec loom and Mk4 Interior loom (windows, central locking etc) fit together at the Fuse Box? Im definetly wanting to do the conversion, just need to be pointed in the right direction from first hand experience. Cheers, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well you'd need both wiring diagrams really and figure out where you want to splice them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan_gwa Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 How is it a waste of time? I was wanting to put an Rs Turbo lump in, but Zetec is not as common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madxrcabby Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 theres a reason its not common ........ for what it'd cost , you could get that power out of a n/a cvh easy , if not just spend a little more and go turbo , number one is saclridge , and two , its pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 as i said the other day ryan dont zetec it cos it makes u stand out from the crowd, RST it cos it makes it faster than the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan_gwa Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 We'll see, but for the time being, its bodywork. Well....whenever I get time to do it, the Si seems to take most of my time!! Plus aswell, I like the Zetec engine, not sure on the CVH Turbo. Rs2000 engine could be another option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you want, step by step guide with photos? Fpmsl Listen to Stu more carefully! If you decide to do such engine conversion, he will help you aswell, like many others. Dig out what kind of different mounts you will need, and for the diagrams...Stu has the both wiring diagrams somwhere in Pdf. You must study them carefully (this can take several hours) and decide where to splice them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
