Default mk4 16v to 8v turbo conversion - or rs2k

would it be difficult? or not worth the hassle?

or is it just more or less straight foward engine, box, mounts n loom?

I personally prefer the CVH motor but I wouldn't swap the Zetec motor out.

Can I ask why you are considering this?

well ive just bought a mk4 zetec and im either going to put an rsturbo engine in or an rs2000,

im just tryin to find out which one would be the "easiest" out of the 2 to do.

id profer the rs2k engine to be honest but im jst wondering wether the mounts would be in the same place on the fiesta

Don't even go there with the RS2k motor mate. It's a superb engine but a fooking heavy one and a complete sod to fit into the bay.
