It is with great pleasure that I come join this forum, I apologize because any mistake at the time of writing because I am in São Paulo - Brazil, but do not have much knowledge of English, a translator using text online.
I have a fiesta Mk3 gues with a 1.3 Endura engine Monopoint, I intend to install a Duratec HE 0km that I bought in revenderor Ford here in Sao Paulo.
I help everyone who can help me.

Later,

Thank you for an optimistic answer so fast

I wanted to ask a question in the comments on topic jimmy mk3.5 in Brazil do not know what would be the similar model, if possible show me what this car so I can know what would be with a photo.

Well I have to use the same support of front wheel hubs like Jimmy used his car.

jim you wont have a problem using the megasquirt it is very user friendly and with the quality and results from the product should be price whey higher than it is ive been using it for over 2 years now and not once has it let me down if you have any questions about mapping megasquirt or building drop me a pm.

cheers jonny

Had a busy couple of days on the car with it up on the ramps I've been doing all the horrible "forgotten jobs" that crop up in a project such as this - you have a lovely idea of how your conversion will pan-out but you forget all the fiddly, crappy jobs that need doing that are unrewarding and mundane!

Firstly, I sorted the gearshift issues by moving the whole assembly back about 10mm which now allows gearchanges without the lever mech hitting the trim!

After that I made a heatshield/cover for the exposed mechanism. (Was all sealed around the edges later on).





The MK5 Fez PAS cooler was mounted somewhere where there's still actually some space! It's all plumbed in now and all pipes suitably P-Clipped out of harm's way.



Both driveshafts were sent off to Recoprop to be shortened today - they should be back with me within a couple of weeks and fitted



I also took delivery of a Focus RS MAP sensor today but still sren't sure what boost-control solenoid to use

I collect the ECU from my mate, Si in Kent this weekend and have already begun sorting connectors etc for all the sensors etc to be connected and for the loom to be made.

I still need to work out where to site the PAS reservoir and fab a take-off plate for the feed to the pump (using Fiesta ST MK6 Pump which uses a reservoir that bolts on top of the pump but my bonnet won't clear it that way! )

Also need to get hold of a Focus MK1 2.0 loom/Ecu to drive my Dash (fun, fun, fun! )

Still need to buy an uprated 255lph fuel pump (save that till next payday now...)

We're moving towards the home-straight now and things are looking good

[Ruishy1]

bet your getting excited mate, you could make your money back on this car, charging people for rides in it
i would pay for sure

[RS rob]

wow i cant wait to see the post

IT RUNS lol
hope your going to have some video clips aswell

[dangerousdave]

coming together well mate! what have you got the map sensor for tho? the megasquirt systems i looked at all have a 21psi map sensor built in?? or do you want to run the edis setup?

[jimmyesh]

Ha cheers buddy! Think I'd have some stiff competeition from some other beasts on this forum though!

Crikey I didn't know that - what a mong! No not running EDIS mate. Lesson learned - do more research...

There's so much potential for things NOT to work, seeing as I built everything! Still - glass half-full Jimmy boy!

[Dave G fsi]

Doing an awesome job mate, keep up the good work!

[FRSJON]

as s aid above ,it wont be long till we get the post that its running... its going to be a animal and loud as fook looking at the lack of silencers in that exhaust.... is there two or just one?

[RS rob]

its not the first time you've done something completely different,
your bound to have teething problems, thats just life

agree with FRSjon, its gona be loud woohoo

[jimmyesh]

Cheers mate

Will be a good month or two due to being skint after Christmas/New Year! Yeah just one huge silencer (it's a Mongoose Fiesta RS Turbo full system with just the "engine-end" modified to fit mine so should be about as loud as a FRST running a Mongoose and no louder (hopefully! )

[RS rob]

i love the mongoose exhaust, thats what i decided to have for mine

so whats left to do apart from the ecu and engine wiring?
who you going to have do the mapping?

[jonyb4]

looking awsome mate, love the girth on that exhaust

maybe use a mk6 escort PAS resevour?, theyrer long and thin perfect to fit betweent he cam belt cover and suspension turrets

i ave one for sale if it interest you

[crazycage]

you may run into back pressure problems when you start to up the boost with the 2.5" system on it mate ,i did and had to build my own 3" system as no one sell's them

[Ruishy1]

I dont think jimmy is making mega boost crazycage, IIRC the power is being kept conservative,so the 2.5 should be adequate.

jimmy there may be more powerful cars out there, but none as unique as yours
hats off to you for doing something truly epic

i was only passing on first hand information.

[Ruishy1]

yeah i know mate, was just letting you know

Cheers guys, all info is welcome, especially when it's based on people's own experiences. I'll see how things pan out with the Mongoose on .

I don't want more than 300bhp (No sweat for a 2.3 with a GT28 ) from this car as I want to keep it as a useable "comfy" car that can still be fun for the odd track day. There's a fair few ZT fezzers and some insane CVH's that put out more than mine and grab the headlines with amazing performance but that's not what I'm after. I'm doing this purely just to try a different route and get the Duratec-HE lump performing in an old MK3

Just found out that I'm off back to work in Catterick, North Yorkshire for a month (25th Jan-22nd Feb) so better get what I can done up until then!

[crazycage]

whats the spec of your gt28?

[mrorange2]

Not read this thread for a while looks great and really good progress.

I WANT YOUR ALLOYS!!!!!

more updates then please

[jimmyesh]

Another step towards completion - I now have the ECU!

Megasquirt V3



dangerousdave - yep you were right about the on-board 21 psi MAP sensor! No bother though, I'll still use the FRS one that I bought for the signal to run the boost gauge on the FRS dials...




It was originally bought by a good friend who was going to put a Golf 1.8 20v Turbo lump into his MK1 but has since sold the engine and consequently didn't need this anymore. He sold it to me for £100 which was a Godsend just after the Christmas blowout!

Luckily the Golf also uses C.O.P ignition and this is already mapped for that so hopefully it shouldn't be too much hassle setting this up to run my Ford C.O.P setup.

Luckily there's a big Megasquirt site with lots of helpful forums and as I'm an Electronics Technician by trade, this hopefully won't prove too difficult!

Apparently I need to change a transistor for a more powerful one to drive the Ford ISCV that I'm using as the Megasquirt is normally used for stepper-motor type idle valves

Also, I was hoping to fit a boost control solenoid and I'm sure I have to add another driver for that too:-?

Ah well, I love a challenge!

[Ruishy1]

I would recommend getting a wideband mate, just to be safe when you map it
One of my friends fitted this to a 1.8t metro, and for the money its a damn fine tool

you wouldnt be able to map it without one lol, ggr is the cheapest place for the lc1

[Ruishy1]

Getting it from the states is even cheaper than over here

[crazycage]

no its not!!! how much ? ive bought loads of stuff from the states

[Ruishy1]

i dunno, it wasnt me that bought it, was my mate.
Got it from USA, was the higher spec innovate kit for a little less than over here.
More kit for roughly the same or a little less.
Know what i would go for.
Ive bought other bits from ebay.om, and its always been cheaper than over here, unless its for large items in which case HMRC usually gets a cut.
