On the paper
If you have escort with 1.6i in it you can't put 1.6 RST engine in it as the power in documents will be higher by more then 30% ... 1.6i has 90BHP, RST has 132 BHP.... this 1.6i could be upgraded only up to 117 BHP (30% from 90 BHP is 27... 90+27=117) got it?
The same with capasity... you can't put 2.0 instead of 1.6...
P.S. but you could upgrade XR3i as it has 105 BHP to RST engine (105*30%=31.5.... 105+31.5= 136.5)
And nobody cares that 1.3 MK4 escort and RST has identical shells
