Hi

looking to do my first engine swap on an 09 fiesta zetec.. What diesel engine would you suggest to swap into an 09 fiesta 1.4tdci 68bhp? That would be the easiest swap and can handle a remap as well? Not too heavy though for obvious reasons eg not the mondeo 2.0 but maybe the focus 1.8 but I have driven one of those and thought the engine was crap! Remap amongst other things should sort it after right? But any suggestions that will be straightforward (as they can be haha) Thanks for any suggestions apart from buy a new car lol

    The 1.8tdci is 115bhp so you might like this hybrid turbo for your 1.4TDCi with supporting mods claims to get 120bhp upwards, 

    The 1.4 engine would be lighter too.

    Could look at the 1.6 TDCI engine. The 1.8 TDCI I'm sure would fit as the mk6 ST had a 2 litre petrol.
