Dear all, I am using one of these engines to get a tiger cat through sva. (SVA in my country is dependent on emissions hence the small engine).

Does anyone have any links to a manual for this engine? Or any other useful info?
Its out of a Fiesta MK5.

Thanks

I've got one of these (1996) in my Mojo running on the standard Ford ECU. It goes like stink, but you'll need to keep the weight down as much as possible to get the most out of it.

What did you need to know?

Quick video

To actually answer your question however: The Haynes manual covers most of the details for the engine although the typical Haynes inaccuracies are evident!
I would recommend downloading a copy of the Ford TIS DVD/CD which has some more accurate info.

For info see:
Wikipedia

Power graphs (in a Fiesta!)
Rototest Dyno graphs

And one final thing: If you're going for low emissions, then use the standard Ford ECU to start with. This will need about 50-100 miles of driving so it can retrain itself for lowest emissions and then you shouldn't have any problems getting through the test. Make sure that all of your exhaust joints are well sealed and that the silencer doesn't have any air leaks around it as this will mess up your lambda reading for the test. Once you've passed and on the road, then you can upgrade to Omex/Megasquirt/whatever...

i run a 1600 zetec se at the moment, i know a fair bit about them so if your stuck give us a shout!

Can these run on the stock Ford ECU without it complaining about not being in a Fiesta? A friend of mine is looking at using one as an alternative for a 1300CVH (for a 17 year old, so insurance is an issue)..

The most expensive part of the whole conversion (its going onto type 9) seems to be the bellhousing..or are there some hidden quirks to beware of?

my insurance at 21 is cheap? compared to a normal car

im selling a bellhousing and exhaust manifold in the next two months as im building a duratec engine, might be some use to you,

Could be very useful.... Keep me posted..

The insurer was quizzed, and apparently, he's happy (i.e. no increase in premium)with swapping a Ford 1300 engine for any other 1300-ish Ford engine..so our thinking has now been based on a Sigma engine....bit of a project!

In answer to the question 'Can these be run on the stock ECU' - yes they can. You need to have the original key with immobiliser thingummy in it, but this doesn't have to be used as your ignition key... you can just cable tie the key to the immobiliser reader from the donor car. At start up, the ECU will look for the key which it will find (because it's cable tied to the reader!) and the engine will start. The trick is to keep it all as simple as possible and use as much of the donor car as possible.

Thanks for the great replies guys.
Does anyone have a link as to where can I download a copy of the manual from?

Looking at the engine again, I can see that the original starter motor is towards the top of the block. Can I use the original one and cut the bellhousing? Or would a CVH starter fit on the regular type 9 housing without fouling the engine block?

I am going to be using the stock ecu, I have the whole wiring loom of the fiesta, which bits would I not need or rather should I keep? I am getting the ECU flashed to remove the immobilizer as I don't have the original key.
