Hi, wondered if anyone here can help, I've got a mk6 escort cabrio and have managed to get hold of a 2WD RS2000 engine, gearbox, loom, ECU, subframe, complete front end really from a 1992 J reg. I wanted to know if this is a relatively easy conversion as I'm currently running a 1800 zetec 130ps. Its on an N reg 1995. If anyone can help with info it would really great, thanks Scott

 

dont know matey but your only going to get about 20bhp max if you dont do any mods to the rs2000 engine

 

il be able to let you know soon enough as Im doing it to my 1995 1.6 16v saloon got me engine and cleaned it all up now just got a few things left to buy being the subframe, hoses and a few bolts that failed to come with the engine. ive been told it will go straight in by numerous people

 

yeah deffo let me know how it goes, i've got everything i need to do my conversion now, just gotta spend some time and money on it, performance parts etc.

 

Ive got everything apart from 2x lamba sensors, fuse box and the money to get an exhaust made up atm. would have started it but I need the car for everyday use, insurance quotes are beginning to be a problem too :/ but if needs be I will pay the high prices.
