Looking at making the rs2000 into a modified rs200 engine. I've been looking at the stats and they are pretty much the same but with a turbo. There are alot! of componets that need serious upgrades to handle the bhp.

 

the rs2000 engine is in NO WAY like a rs200 engine

 

If you check the stats, bore, size, it's the same. I am looking at replacing everything down to the crank including nikasil dry liners

 

If you see a flaw then tell me. If you know a way of getting high performance from the I4 engine then please help.
I don't want a cossie engine it must be the original engine.

 

the rs 200 engine was a BDG

 

thought a rs200 was only a 1700?

 

yeah it was they used what engines they had left from the rs 1700t for the rs 200

 

im going to change my 2 ltr chain driven engine into a 1700 belt driven turbo from and rs200...cos they are the same engine lol

 

chain driven engine???

 

Not quite that simple.
The engine has to be stripped out. Bored out and relined among a long list of other modifications.

 

I think the flaw is the cost involved!! (understatement of the year)

Also why does it have to be the original engine?
