My wife had a 1994 fiesta 1119cc.

Its single point injected. Basically an injector is in something that looks like a carb. If you take the air cleaner off, if I remeber, you will see the injector poking down the carb intake.


It makes a whopping 50 BHP.

If you have a non catalist one I THINK they make 55.

lol! All i know is its got the initials HCS at the end of what ever then engine is.

I suppose i cant even stick a K+N induction kit either just to give it that extra tug?

Let's put it this way, I wouldn't rev your engine at anyone unless they're driving a steamroller!

My haynes says 48 bhp(din)

Roadhog!!

Cheers

Btw HCS stands for high compression swirl - basically a kent engine.

I wonder if K and N really work or if its just imagination.

Lets say you had 20% more power - from an air filter? (no way) That would give you 60 hp!

Would go from 0-60 in 18 secs (std) to about 15 secs.


You wouldnt really notice that performance increase, and my fictional 10 hp extra would need cams and other tuning items.

A fiesta is a nice little runaround - I have had 4 in my family. If you want more power by something else, or put a 1.6 in it.

But you wont get 45mpg that way!

How about nitrous oxide.........50% power (75bhp) and a shagged engine in no time - givce you a chance to fit that 1.6!

I wouldn't get to hung up with insurance, try one of the specialist companies like sureterm or adrianflux you will be surprised I was. The difference between a 1300cc crossflow and a 2000zetec was about 100 a year which is nothing and I am only a year older, go for the biggest engine you can get just now and save yourself hassle in the long run.

cheers man i'll look at them i know adrian flux has a site! i will check it out!
