Ford 1 3 rocam engine

I'm not sure about the specifics of fitting a B3 1.3L engine in a Rocam 1.3L Bantum. However, I found a performance kit that is designed specifically for the Ford Rocam 1.3L engine. The kit includes a 4-2-1 performance exhaust manifold, a performance camshaft, and a recalibrated computer1. The kit is designed to deliver stunning all-round performance and economy, and it can increase the power output of a 1.3L Ford Ka from 51 kW to 66 kW (90 horsepower) with torque increases from 110 Nm to 122 Nm from as low as 2000 RPM.

If you're looking to fit a B3 1.3L engine in a Rocam 1.3L Bantum, you could consider purchasing the ST90 performance kit for your Bantum 1.3L. The kit is designed to make the same power as a 1.6L Bantum and can be easily installed by any good mechanical workshop.

Alternatively, you could purchase a B3 1.3L engine and have it fitted. However, you will then have to fit a Unichip and have it specially mapped (calibrated) because your 1.3L ECU will not work properly.

what does pulse mean, scope or NOid test lamp dead on injector
or the injector tips do now spray when engine is cranked
we can not see you doing the tests and matters.


symptoms. my guess African car, and no engine told, gas/petrol not told
sizes in CC or liters. 4cylinders? (roller cam sure)
2006 is GEN 3.
wiki says it is
1,297 cc and 1,597 cc Rocam (Roller Finger Camshaft)
1.3 or 1.6L which one? SOHC
Brazilian-designed Rocam engine is of single overhead-cam configuration with two valves per cylinder.

dead engine, cranks fast right but engine is dead, will not start or stay running.
won't start with quick start spray works, but will not stay running,
seems it has spark (spray works and sounds good)
starts but will not RUN, (spray lasts for 3 seconds)

so is the cam belt ignored and now slipped (if has belt, no books here)
all fuses, good
scan the PCM for DTC error test

the PCM cuts fuel (injectors) for many reasons, for sure to not catch fire.
1: all fused checked for good in all fuses boxes. as in ALL.
2:no real engine told or country told so folks can help with more exact answers
causes, injection dead ( but PCM fires them with electrical pulse)
top cause fuel pressure not to spec,
the crack a line dribble tests are no good. if dry yes but dribble tests mean zero.
the PSI (BAR)_ pressure must be at spec to the fuel rail.

that is one answser, now lets to , injector all 4 pins have no electrical pulse using noid test lamp or scope see the super fast pulse there, 5mS (0.005 seconds)
that cause is, PCM sees spark dead even if spark is good
the PCM seens throttle by wire dead if present, (no books in USA for bantam)
PCM sees CMP or CKP sensor errors, cam or crank sensors.
PCM sees IMMO failing (security key if has it)

now answer 3.
the engine compression is not 150psi and up tested. 10Bar up, not less.
on all 4 cylinder, and near even.

EGR stuck open
CAT core melted and now engine can not pump air, or run.
lots of test to do .
but I bet fuel pressure is wrong, at the rail 30psi up. for most cars
I have no PSI spec, 2bar up. fuel pressure. not zero not 1. but 2 up.

You may have fuel in the injector bar but is it the right psi to do the job?? Your needles could be clogged injectors

check for correct valve timing. crank/cam sensor wires connected , correct firing order, fuel pressure, injector harness connected and immobilizer system reset

You must use new head bolts, these are one time "stretch to yield" bolts
Tighten cylinder head bolts in three stages in the sequence indicated

10--4--2--6--8

7--5--1--3--9

Tighten in the following stages
STAGE 1 ------------20 Nm 14.75 lb
STAGE 2--------------40 Nm 29.51 lb
STAGE 3 Turn head of bolt 90 degrees of rotation.

Try to start it in neutral ! May have a bad neutral switch ! Refer to you tube for more information !

It is plugged into the transmission where the speedo cable would go in older cars.

it should start running until a preset pressure is achieved in the fuel manifold
that is controlled by the pressure regulator or a pressure switch in the system

Could be a thermostat that is not opening all the way,causing the engine to run hot,or the water pump is bad.
