Hi, I'm looking to buy a turbo engine for my fiesta, so something small and mighty.
I was thinking an xr5 turbo, ST, or something along those lines. NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO FIT INTO THE SMALL ENGINE BAY. I'm just looking at offers at the moment. Needs to be manual. Needs to be in decent condition Needs to be working. Needs to be turbo. If anyone has any offers or any advice as to how or where I can get something of the sort and where I can find someone in QLD that can work on a fiesta that would also be greatly appreciated. Please no time wasters. Thanks in advance |

There is a written off ST on ebay being stripped for parts. (Almost brings a tear to the eye)
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=251624138487 As for the installation in Queensland, sorry can't be much help there. Just remember seeing the parts on ebay and thought I'd share. |

You would have to go full stand alone ecu and that will cost you more than the engine just for the ECU + install with custom loom + mapping. You would be far better off doing a turbo conversion to the duratec HE engine that's already fitted to your car assuming you have an xr4 and using a stand alone ECU. But good gains can be had out of the engine as it is in NA format. Doing an upgrade package this morning to a customers car which will raise it from stock 150 to 190. Other option is to supercharge it which can be bought as a kit from the UK |

I have a fiesta.
Putting a turbo on my engine won't have much gains and my engine won't be able to handle the pressure of the power. |

If you have the 1.6 zetec SE engine good gains are still to be had from turbocharging. In regards to being able to handle the boost pressure you can go 2 ways: Cheapest - decomp plate. not safe after max 10psi Expensive - Forged pistons and H section rods. -Strongest and best route. Supercharging can be done with stock internals running around 12psi.
