Hi Guys,

Its a great pleasure to join this forum!

I have a '95 CTi and want to drop in a bigger better engine. Is the ABF 2.0 16v still the best engine for my car?

Please advise..

Welcome to the forum

Plenty of options to upgrade your motor.
What is your budget, will you be doing the work yourself?
What is the current motor in there?

It's the little things that make them run right. Anybody can slap a basic bottom end together. that is the easy bit. It's all the little things that makes these builds a success or not.

Hi Unobeat,

Thanx for the welcome and replying!

No, I am no mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, but I would like to be a part of the build.

2006, The original 1800 block was re-bored to the max fitted with 2.1 pistons, 2lt crank and a 288deg camm.

2013, The fuse box/Electrical issues and I just parked her off in the garage and never started her ever since :( (out of sight out of mind)

2016, I presume that there would be some engine damage?

Budget? That's what I am trying to figure out? My options..

Have you done a build or know of some1 that has and is willing to assist me?

Hi Nas T G, welcome. I did a build recently from Feb. I did a 2.0 ABF conversion. I will send you breakdown of cost on parts. I have not done that yet as my car has only been running for a week and still not 100%
