    Re: 1.6 Zetec SE engine

    Does the Zetec SE engine block have the same bell housing bolt pattern as the Duratec HE?

    As the SE is MZI in Mazdas could I use Mazda MX5 / Miata gearbox with the SE?

    To answer my own question. No. I looked at the Ford E- cat spare part software today and no the pattern is not the same. The Zetec SE 1.6 IB5 box will not fit Duratec HE block. The Fiesta ST uses special cast housing in IB5 box to mate with Duratec.

    Re: 1.6 Zetec SE engine

    Have not really been interrested in the other Zetec SE's
    But heres something I got.

    1.7

    Bore 80mm
    Stroke 83.5mm
    Compression ratio: 10,3:1

    1.25

    Bore: 71.9mm
    Stroke 76.5mm
    Compression ratio 10:1

    1.4

    Bore 76mm
    stroke 76.5mm
    compression ratio 10,3:1 later focus 1.4 models had 11:1

    To add to the 1.6 Zetec SE I noticed It has the highest compression ratio of the Zetec SE family standing at 11:1 .

    Re: 1.6 Zetec SE engine

    What is the compression ratio you would like to have?

    If you will use stock 100 hp astra rods and pistons your new CR would be 7.8:1
    Good CR for a stage2 turbo application.

    Astra rods big-end radius diameter is more narrow vs SE. So you'll need some machine job for using n SE.

    connecting rod big-end diameters:
    Astra : 46.4mm
    Focus : 46.9mm

    You can find forged rod and piston set for astra. Wiseco end Woessner producing forged internals for astra

    Loving this engine!
    Sounds very nice!
    The gear ratios seem to suit the engine quite well. Continues nicely after a gear change.

    What was that event? Looked a little bit like a sprint race. But other competitors on a same lap?

    Yes. Thats what the Ford announcement on the new engine stated.


    Hopefully it'll be more reliable than the Duratec SCI

    "Roadie" .. heh..

    How about the crank and rods? Are they the same as we've seen on a Sigma?

    Re: 1.6 Zetec SE engine

    crank and rods should be the same as a sigma as this engine is only a upgrade of the sigma. just a bit stronger. so with luck most of the parts will be interchangeable!!! dut dont take my word for it...

    Zetec SE in an MK1

    Installed a Zetec SE to my Escort yesterday.
    So now I know it can be done without any dramatic changes to body work. The engine needs to be Dry Sumped tough to clear OE steering rack. And youll need the RWD water outlet to not hit the bulkhead. Still comes very close even with the RWD outlet.

    Some pics in the bottom of the build page:

    you only ned to do the one mount, o/s engine mount, and its not hard if you really wanted to you would just plate the area where it mounts to to add strength, far better than old ohv engine, you can see 150bhp on standard internals no probs

    So which mounts were on yours mate? Fiesta or Ka? I assume you mean that the only one needing specialist work was the Driver's side one?

    I also plan on installing one of the 1400s into a Rally KA...

    Can you get pics?

    If the marking is slight then you'll probably get away with a light polish (400 grit emery paper and oil) and new shells, though of course you should always check the bearing clearances with plastigague.

    Anything can be reground, it depends on whether you can get undersize shells to suit.

    You'd have to measure the bearing clearances with Plastigauge and check to see if they're still within tolerance.

    sometimes even engine for which there arnt shell available they can be found by carefull reading through a bearing catalog, and finding an alternative bearing that wil fit the con rod

    Re: 1.6 Zetec SE engine

    Hi

    just been reading up on fitting a 1400 Zetec se to my MK2 ESCORT RALLY CAR

    Woundering what parts to use

    Bellhousing Inlet Manifold for twin webers rwd Exhaust manifols Water rail etc


    Do you have any parts for sale

    thanks

    I was wondering if many other people on here would be interested in buying the conversion parts from me through ebay, the parts would be high quality and rally tested to ensure easy fitment and relaibility. The price of the parts would be very reasonable aswel.

    It will take some time to develop/test the parts but I should be well on the way by the end of the summer.

    Let me no if you would be interested by posting here,
    I will creat a new post with pics of all the parts when I have them finnished.

    Watch this space

    Hi GoodFella. Good engine! I think that it is really good to have that Ztec engine. How much did it cost you with that engine?

    Re: 1.6 Zetec SE engine

    ,,,is there not much happening with the zetec se engine just now ? it all seems to have gone quiet . Its been interesting following the builds etc .
    I've got more interested in fitting my 1400 se to my rally Ka again . It seems that Scholar are building some now as well .
    Not much in the way of exhaust manifolds though ,,they all seem to big bore spec to suit a s1600 type engine ,,I really don't want to lose torque .

    Re: 1.6 Zetec SE engine

    This thread has been quite still for a while now. But I believe it's only quiet on the forums and not in the garages. I just got my SE done and had my race debut with it. And I know of a few Zetec SE builds taking place. I have one race left this season and then its on to EVO 2 with the engine.

    Graham is absolutely right. There's always something that can be done to further improve the engine. I too have a evo 3 or 4 in my day dreams. Just don't want to rush and buy all that expensive hipo hardware untill I'm sure I need it.

    I'm not absolutely sure what needs to be done. So I need one more RR session to try a run completely without the air box, one with the retarded inlet timing and one with the longer trumpets. And I will try if a smooth air duct to the air box would be beneficial. With the info gathered from the RR the evo two will propably see some port work, new exhaust manifold. Engien re-positioning alternator re-posioniting ... etc....etc....so many ideas and so little time....the next season is alway too quickly at hand.

    I also would love a lower than 5.13 ratio but it remains to bee seen can I get one. I have two ways of tackling this problem. The other is swappinf to Atlas axle but it costs like H*ll to do a Group 4 conversion to one.
