I have a turbo manifold for the st150 mate if your intrested in going down the turbo route

Hello, wil this help on Ford fiesta Mk7 ecoboost?

Fantastic vid mate I put new clutch in and one week later I could hardly move the gear stick I was at a total loss thought it was something I'd done until I found your post and followed your instructions. 👍👍👍👍👍

Looks fun

You would never set fire to it

Quick question i have done very little in the way of mechanical work but very keen to learn i have a mk6 escort van I'm doing the welding on then i was thinking of putting an st170 in it, as i say ive never done much on an engine but would like to do a rebuild would it be a crazy idea to make the first engine rebuild i doban st170 ?

He's a special Dawg

Silicone spray can help the weld splatter sticking mate 👍 not sure on wire, tho 😂

Brilliant video going to do mine this week. Can i ask for some advice. My fan is not kicking in. I have just changed thermostat and coolant sensor. And its still taking a while to get up to temperature

Sweet, nice to have your own space 👍

Look good, keep up with the good work

I own a mk2 957cc ford fiesta mk2 completely standard. Great vlog.

Nice one mate, very helpful

Very interesting project,how did you work the stick shift mechanism to make it to work with the transmission mounted on the rear?Thank you.

I did an st150 conversion on a face-lift 1.4 zetec. A donor car wouldn't have been financially viable for me at the time. I gathered fuel pump, loom, binacle and ecu keys etc as a bundle deal. The engine was £150 (needed piston rings) and I used the standard gearbox and driveshafts with an uprated clutch. Took a year or so to gather the bits and another 2 or 3 months to do the conversion. Plod along style. It was well worth what I would deem very little effort really. Depends if you want now. Or are willing to enjoy the process. I'm a process guy. Really enjoyed it. Easy work. Cars still going. No issues. Turbo upgrade along with the gearbox driveshafts and shifter...now its all a lot cheaper. 😂

ooh nooo... too much face, too little engine work in this. Face and talk, should be more something else dont u think

Amazing video very detailed. As I am re-building mine I have been following your video. I found most information online but I am missing the crank sequence and torq spec. would you be willing to share that? I am replacing thrust bearings on my engine too. if so please send me a message and email or anything, it would be much appreciated

Hey mate, nice videos! Are there anymore in the series or is it just 1-4?

This is going to be an amazing build!

cool to find another youtuber with a mk6 Fiesta ST150 :)

So, are the 1.25 and 1.4 pretty much the same? Are the engine mounting positions the same for the lower spec cars and the 2.0l? I’m tempted to strip out my facelift 1.4 which is in perfect shape, and drop in a scrap 2.0l. Is it just the running gear and electrics that you really need? And the PAS hoses / vacuum lines?

Mine just slided off without issues and my gear is stiff not moving at all stuck in neutral

How did the rebuild of that fiesta you done go?

Are these timing chain or belt? cheers bud

Oil ring rail gaps to be assembly 60° apart from each other & a minimum of 90° from the expander gap (starting inline with wristpin) 2nd compression ring has an undercut facing down, upper n lower compression ring gaps not controlled but i recommend 180° starting inline with wrist pin

Great video not only on how to fix but explaining each component. I have an issue with the gear stick being stiff to move across in neutral but ok going into gears. I'll attempt this and see if the bottom gear selector cable? is ok

Are the to top ring off set opposite the bottom one

You can drill it out with a 12mm drill bit

Verry nice vid guys. Have you ran in to the problem that without ABS speed signal the ETB wont go full throttle? We have this on one we did recently

My mk3 fez is fully stripped out caged buckets Coilovers an yer …Dailey it’s horrible 😂

Hey man nice video, I have a question, how many NM you tighten the bolts? Im rebuilding the same engine but couldn't find the tork specifications! Please let me know! Friendly regards Toby

Was it a a problem on the 2.0 or just the 1.8? Serviced my 2007 Focus 2.0 petrol today, and noticed oil on plugs 2 and 3 (no running concerns) what do you think of that?

Thanks for all the info. Exactly what I needed to know, I wanted to prep a 1.25 shell for a 2.5 USA fusion engine but I may aswell buy a full ST for all the bits I'll need. One question, if I'm doing this to a face lifted car, can I get away with just using the engine loom? Then just use the usual clocks/transponder/key swap ?

Hi good video pal keep em coming , any chance of showing installation of high lift cams on ST 150 , I have had mine from new back in 2005 now with 125 k , I red line it everywhere I go and only use Castrol oil it’s amazing how strong this engine is and how quick it is but it could do with just a tad more poke I don’t want to go to powerful where it becomes untrustworthy like I say I red line All day long and drag start from traffic lights I don’t think I will ever grow up lol , but do you think cams are sensible mod to do ? Thanks

Hi mate cracking video and info, i have rebuilt many vauxhall engines but got one of these to re ring this week, noticed you didnt hone the cylinder i always do with new rings i was just wondering before i do hone it if its ok to do so on these engines? forgive me if i missed that bit i have been power watching all the vids and trying to listen my mrs about her day lol excellent vids by the way! gaz

Hi... whats happeneing with this now? Love your vids dont stop

So did you fit std size big end barings, is there any value to using plasiguage to make sure the clearence is right?

Mine does this when warm , do you think its the same fix?

This is a TH-cam video of you talking into your phone , I didn’t make it to the end cos I just couldn’t take anymore

I currently have a 2008 mk4 mondeo 2.0 duratec that has 149k miles and drives absolutely superb. uses no oil between changes and thats every 6k. it was a one owner vehicle prior to me buying it. all the big jobs are now done, clutch, driveshafts and belt kit. what I like is how cheap parts are for it and are readily available.

Please post more !!

does the engine need to be locked off in anyway because of timing?or is it because its chain driven it doesnt matter ?

Just finished replacing the water pump and belt, saved me £££, thank you👌🏾

Perfect thanks for the video. Going to attempt this, this week

Thanks for sharing

Tett

I have a mk6 1.25 ZT....Is it worth changing to a 2 Lt lump or buy an ST straight off..

Hi, did you hone the bores?

Thanks

Hi pall. What did you gap the rings at?
