Just an Idea at the moment!

Has anyone every tried to put the Ford Galaxy 2.8 V6 205hp engine in a fiesta. Its the same engine as in the Golf VR6 but it has all ford bits on it.

I know ppl have thought about the mondeo v6 buts its to big but the vr is a narrow angle! and very short.

[moulder]

I have no idea as to if it would fit etc but if u can put a cossie engine in then a v6 will fit. Just gotta be handy with the welder and be able to make up custom mounts etc.

[chumkila]

hasnt been tried to the best of my knowledge.

[crispa]

ummmm getting some ideas

[chumkila]

kewl

[Radweld]

Anything will fit!

Just depends on how handy you are with an angle grinder and a welder.

[cubby240]

IMHO it would be too heavy for a fwd car, mid mounted rwd would be the way to go

[Radweld]

Actually, RWD would be fun! mount it in the rear.....hmmm thats got me thinking.

[chumkila]

so true. i believe a mid-engined V6 Fez would rock!! Perfect balance.

So cut away the boot floor and mount the sub frame in the back like the V6 Clio. Lot of work and cooling would need a bit of thinking but think of the possiblitys VR6 turbo 850hp fiesta mid engine NICE!!!

[chumkila]

i think we're onto a winner here.

[crispa]

Give sunny's a run for its money!

[AdrianFRST]

Call Ian Howell and ask him if he thinks it's worth doing.

Remember the RWD V6 Fiesta that was for sale last year? That was his.

The 2.8 Cologne V6 engine is a pile of sh*te, and it's longditidunally deisnged, ie, for RWD Sierras.

The best engine IMO is the Duratec V6. In partiicular the 3.0 V6 from the MondeoST220, 220bhp and 275lb ft of torque normally aspirated!

It should go into a fiesta also FWD with just a few welds and grinds Not too much effort.

(Unlike the 2.8 V6 which is RWD and the whole chassis/floor pans would have to be altered to suit)

[chumkila]

Surely the Galaxy engine is a Zetec not a Cologne?

[crispa]

Philm Not talking about the old sierra engine we were talking about the galxay VR6 engine which is FWD tranversly designed by VW for the VR's and brought by ford and changed abit and its the nutz.

If you want to go nutz out with a ford v6 which are all to big to go up front so you need to go to the rear then you should forget the mondeo engines and go for the Jag 3.0L which is ford/cosworth designed and sand cast designed to run trans!!! very very sweet

[PhilM]

*Phil didnt read 1st ost propperly*, in that case Sorted, hehe

Ford 2.5V6 is also cast by Cosworth for Ford

[chumkila]

Phil am i correct in saying that spec list above is for the ST24 and NOT the ST200 as the ST200 has 30ps more.

[crispa]

the avantage of the jag version is that all engine extras like alternator, powersteering pump etc.. are all bolted ditrectly to the block rather than have brakets like most cars all so it has variable intake manifolds for extra torque. little bit more development money went in to the jag engine over the st200 but both still top engines

[PhilM]

Chum, indeed, the ST24 one has 170, ST200 has 200bhp. But i'd recommend the 3.0 V6, as per ST220, 220bhp & 275lb ft of torque

[chumkila]

let's pull the change out of our pockets and build this Mid-engined V6 Fez. It could be the 1st Fiestaturbo.com car.

[crispa]

Like your thinking chum FT.Com mid engine rear wheel drive 3.0L V6 B!TCH
In a Pop Plus shell with no body kit! A wolf in sheeps clothing LOL

[chumkila]

AND paint it BROWN!

[crispa]

with a really dodgy sun visor, and crappy tinted windows a right wagon!! But watch it go!!!

[chumkila]

and have Derek & Sharon on the visor!

[Joris]

"champagne beige"

crappiest color for a fiesta ever ?

[crispa]

LMFAO

It would be so cool at santa pods talk about the under dog!!

Need to do it now get thinking peeps

we need a shell, roll cage, st200 v6, gear box, quaff dif, ap brakes, suspension OMG this is getting expensive

[chumkila]

and sparco bucket seat and harnesses.

[crispa]

omex engine mangement with launch control, traction control and second map for nitrous

[chumkila]

T6 turbo with KKK Supercharger to spin low down until T6 begins to kick in.

[crispa]

it that case we will also be needing 6 mahle forged low comp piston's with a drop forged steel crank, full balancing, ARP bolts all round, solid cam followers with custom profile cams, dry sump set up.

What do u reakon 1500hp non nos
