Almost done, its a straight 3 into one and the turbo will be poised right after the merge point in line with everything. Not the prettiest welds ever but they should work well for my trusty Justy!

Well, I thought I'd share this here since I posted it on the Facebook page. I am going for the next Justy challenge I bought a Ford 1.0L 3 cylinder EcoBoost, according to all my measurements it will fit, it's about the same size as the Justy motor. I know this idea has been brought up by someone else on the board, I'm going to try it and let you know how it all goes, I'll try to keep it as well documented as I can. Of course, this is going to be an interesting project on my end, I need to make an adapter plate, adapter flywheel, engine mounts, mount the electronic throttle pedal, and plumb everything up. Also, I'll have to address drivetrain strength as the weaknesses become apparent, does anyone have experience with where the weaknesses are? I've been told that it is the rear diff that's the weak link. Also, a 160hp & 170 ft-lb in the little Justy would be a real hoot, assuming I take it easy and don't break it.

ive recently bought a 91 2wd carb justy, and im thinking it needs a rebuilt head. Instead, i was thinking about waiting for fords new 3-cylinder 1.5L ecoboost comming out in early 2018 as a $999 option on the new fiesta. 200hp and 26lb lighter than the EF12... Plus all modern tech, thank god(not a carb guy lol). Supposed to get 43mpg too...
Anyway, ill be watching your progress on the 1.0L swap as inspiration for mine. Good luck!
Edit: why not try to see if the rest of the drivetrain will fit? My idea was to use fords 6-speed manual tranny and driveshafts to negate the weaknesses up to the hubs, understanding of course custom halfshafts may be nessessary. But if it will fit...

I was eyeing that 1.5L as well but decided I could not wait that long for the engine to start showing up in salvage auctions. I figure I can work on this swap and if I happen to stumble across a 1.5L in the future for a reasonable cost I'll pick it up and try to go with the second engine swap once done with this one. haha And the only reason I'm sticking with the Justy drivetrain is that I like to use my Justy as a backwoods adventure vehicle and a snow conquering machine so I'd like to keep the 4wd at the least, It's already gotten me out of a lot of very sticky situations. Drive in Fwd until I get really stuck, switch to 4wd, get out easily almost every time. Or just an "almost" unstoppable snow machine! (: Also, I've got some Justy 4wd gearbox based modifications in mind for the future... Still in the proofing stage with my spare gearbox as a mock up unit. But that project will have to wait until after engine swap. Think along the lines of a 7 forward speed gear box with a granny low gear and all the beautiful straight cut gear noise to boot! It almost all fits in the stock casing. haha. Teaser picture attached for reference...

Ah, 4wd, makes sense youd want to keep it, especially in less-than-paved situations lol. I live in the city, so I prefer the reduced weight and complexity of fwd. Not sure if it would fit, but it would be hilarious to stick a transverse mitsubishi 4wd system from a lancer to a tiny ford motor and stick it in a vintage subaru hahaha. That might be too much fab work for not much gain, especially considering an upgraded stock system.
Btw, i remember reading on another post someone had tested the strength of the justy halfshafts for the second gen I believe(honestly cant remember, nor can I find the post), and they rated at 2000ft/lbs max. Also, the jusy clutch tends to be weak to high power(turbo) applications.
From a purely performance standpoint, im still trying to figure out how im going to get 200hp to the ground in this thing... Ultralight car with fwd and tiny tires...? Lol Almost seems like cutting the back up and sticking a 4B11 from an evo in midship rwd would be a better project in the long run....
