Will It Fit

[richard mackay]

Has anyone fitted a zetek in an s7 mk1,2 or 3

[Guest shaggy]

Yup, just put one in a MKII S7, fits like a glove and goes like stink.

 

Just done a 400 mile with an overnight stop in Holy Island last weekend - what an absolute joy to drive

 

All I need now is a sticker on the back (where my spare wheel used to live) with words something like....

 

Driven like its stolen - not owned

[Guest whiz]

I had one in mine that I fitted no problem at all transforms the car

[richard mackay]

Simon, any chance of telling me what changes you had to make.I'm asuming you had

a pinto in there before

[Mitch]

basically., if you have a 5 speed, it will mount to this fine,if not, then 5 speed box and new propshaft , simons is fuel inj (mc throttle bodies) with stand alone ecu, , but it can be done with carbs (mbike ones best)

controller for ign (megajolt ecu)

you will need

Engine

Mounts

new clutch

ecu (ign or/and fuel depending if use carbs or throttle bodies)

carbs and manifold

exhaust manifold (and maybe silencer too)

fuel pump to suit whichever way you go,

and it will cost aproxx 1500 quids for carb version but will transform car,

 

mitch

 

simon you need sticker which reads, if you can read this my bloody spares dropped off !!!!!!!

[richard mackay]

Am i right in saying that the position of the brake servo and resivoir could be a problem

[Guest whiz]

Yes I had a problem with the bike carbs fouling on the brake master cylinder I ended up putting in a floor mounted pedal box.

[richard mackay]

goes.It may be a while though lol

Hi, where did you get your engine mounts from? I've got quite a few of the bits to put a zetec in my s7 now but engine mounts are still on the list.

[Guest chris brown]

I take it you mean the steel mounts on the engine, if so most make there own otherwise try GBS, Tiger or one of the others. But making your own does ensure they end up aligning up with your present rubber mounts.

[flameredturbo]

Present rubber mounts? I'm pulling out a pinto and dropping in a zetec. I will admit I'm clueless with certain aspects as I didn't build the car.

[Guest chris brown]

First if you havent done anything like this before get along to a meeting and chat to people who have the job. It is not a project for the faint hearted. The ability to weld is an advantage but it can be overcome you just need a local fabrication shop that will weld up your bits for you or even make them to your designs. As you no doubt have released there is a fare amount of engineering as well as electrics to complete this change.

[flameredturbo]

Ok, put another way, do any off the shelf mounts exist for a cortina based s7? Anyone know?

 

[Guest chris brown]

Answer at #10 how many times do you want answering?

[flameredturbo]

I was seeking clarification if anyone knew of any or had in fact bought a set from somewhere. Think I'd be better off finding out how my engine bay differs from later Mk s7's and then I might be able to seek advise on what they used.

Thanks for replies.
