turbo Grant Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've done a pumesta conversion on the floor. Easy swap, put the 4-2-1 manifold on and it did go. Went off the clock easy haha. You will need to change the clocks to the digital ones on that shape Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottyb Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 looks pretty good! although what about some cossie wheels or something instead of the steelies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I see the correct dash for the puma engine already. My boss has a set of ford Motorsport wheels of an RS turbo escort. Would look smart on the little fiesta Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its basically with a mk5 tbh just with a mk4 front lights... lol looks pretty good! although what about some cossie wheels or something instead of the steelies?Mate. Cossie rims are £500+ This is a daily lol... Ride like shit too...Steels r ace and... Its amazing what you can buy for fuck all these days:and its beating heart:1.7 16v 125bhp...

turbo Grant Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Weekend job? Being a mk5 basically, should only take a day max. Especially with some extra hands. I do kinda like the mk4 fiesta. Was the first car I changed the engine on haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 ACE!Phil.Cheers Babe engine transplant i like xwhats involved with this conversion and potential of the 1.7?keep telling my mate to get one of these again and actually mod it as he keeps buying shitters expecting them to work lol.nice daily tho.The FIesta and Puma are the same car underneath... Bit like a Corsa B and a Tigra....You need from the Puma: Engine, Ancilliries, ECU, Bay Loom, Key, MAF, Fuel Lines, Throttle Cable and Airbox Very Easy to do. Plug n Play with interior loom!They are 125bhp stock... 135bhp can be seen with a full exhaust system. Cams, Inlet & Map would see you to 155-160bhp like my old Fiesta was before I got Glanza...As with any NA tuning tho, big money for minimal gains! Sound ace tho!Weekend job? Being a mk5 basically, should only take a day max. Especially with some extra hands. I do kinda like the mk4 fiesta. Was the first car I changed the engine on hahaYeh as we have to take it all out the Puma first Grant... Then im gonna inspect the clutch, cambelt. THen take the 1.4 out the fiesta, clean the engine bay, then put the puma engine back in the Fiesta... lolI dont rush things, gonna take my time, enjoy it, get it perfect! But yes in past ive changed a Fiesta engine in a day... 1.25>1.25 and 1.6>1.7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Haha yes didn't acount for your attention to detail. Might as well bang a cam belt on whilst the engine is out for peice of mind. Pain in the ass to do it in place. You couldn't have a fiesta like that and not put the 1.7 engine in. It does like to be thrashed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
