any and all help will be appreciated

i am looking to do a transplant of an rs turbo s2 engine into a mk5 escort and i want to know exactly what i need to do this.....i.e do i need the drive shafts etc and will they fit into the mk5 ok?

thanks in advance

 

Was told tonight that i would be better off with the fiesta turbo engine

 

i have the erst mfi lump in mine!! works just fine

 

didnt do the conversion tho m8 so sorry i carnt help

 

PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT PUT AN MFı ENGINE INTO ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN ERST.

AN EFı ENGINE WILL BE JUST FINE.

The gearbox and shafts froma Mk5 wıll be fıne untıll ıt lets go. If ıt does just bolt a S1 box ın there. OR even better an MTX75

A few pıcs of a customers car ı buılt 4 years ago.

The full technıcal ınfo ıs on the sıte.

how much would you be looking at to do a proper EFi conversion in a mk6? or would a zetec turbo be a better option using the 1.8?

i see chrwisy boy used a zetec turbo on his 1.8, but looks to have cost him near 4k to build if not more.

So whats the best option for price / reliabilty / performance?

im sure jano will have a direct answer

 

Well now have a ERST engine now drive shafts aswell

Now the fun part getting engine ect into the car and getting it running 100%

Will have a work in progress post in the project section when started so will keep yous all up2date with things and how smooth it all goes

 

Been looking into this still and have found out that i would need to use the mk5 box due to a dogleg mount of some sort or could use a s1 box

Please someone say i could just slip the s2 box in there without doing anything

Also does anyone have a picture of a standard turbo off a s2 engine? Looking at the turbo on the engine the now and it looks like some sort of garrett turbo and looks new aswell

 

BTTT

Had people out looking at the car tonight Think we will start next week getting old engine out and putting the RS lump in

Goodbye 1800DOHC Hello Turbo

 

work is going to be underway tomorrow(wed13thsept)

 

just do the cvh 1800 set up to efi it jano sells them hes ur best beat to sort it out sod doing mfi its old hat now

 

Too late have ERST engine now Engine will be going in tomorrow

 

*UPDATE* Old engine is out the car now Going to use the MTX75 box aswell..

Got a few things to wait on then ERST lump should be in by the end of the week

Hope to have ready for AVA aswell

 

Engine has been in the car for the past few days now Got most things done now

Just looking for someone to wire the loom into the old loom but found out there isnt much people about where i am that will do it and have had a price of Ł350

After the loom has been done then its just the case of turn the key and see if she will cum alive then change fuel pump.

 

imo would be better getting a cheap donor rs2000 (plenty about )and transplanting the front subframe, gearbox, shafts, hubs, brakes etc

im running the above on mine
