guido4725 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Iv got an l reg mk3 fiesta with a 1.3i hcs engine in it, and I was wondering how difficult or if it was possible to drop a xr2i 1.8 16v in and if any mods would be need to be done, any help would be much appreciated.

vince_13 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 the engine will fit however the loom for the 1.3 would not be useable, you would need a 1.6 SI engine and car loom with this replacement you can then run the SI 1.6 engine or fit the 1.8 engine or even make it run the 2.0 mondeo engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guido4725 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Ok thanks mate, I take it id need a new ecu as well or could I just remap the current 1.3 one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince_13 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 A new ecu would be needed, there are standalone management systems you can use which can be mapped, more useful on the 2.0 turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
