has anyone ever put a fiesta rs turbo or escort rs turbo engine in a focus

 

I must admit bud, ive never seen it. I think it may look out-dated. Its quite common i suppose to see the zetec turbo. I dont think ive even heard of a zvh conversion.
Would be an interesting engine swop though

ive seen it in the puma and they use the same engine mount as the focus i think.just wondering how it would fit in a focus

 

interesting i have thought about this before

 

i can sort an engine mount out then i think i might be onto a winner.the other hurdle thou is that the gearbox is hydrolic ,i wonder how i would get round that

 

Simple. Use the focus box! The ib5

 

did they do a focus gearbox that ran on cable operated clutch?and would that be a front or rear mounted starter

 

yes early focus i have one.. and pretty sure starter is at the rear

 

so thats the gearbox sorted out then.what yr is your car mate?if i was to run the cvh turbo engine it would be on ofac.one thing that worries me is when it comes to mot time and there wondering why i dont have a cat or lambda sensor.can you get away with out using the cat and lamda sensor?some one said they base the mot on the engine or some thing.i would like to no the full details first before i even think about doing the change.ive seen cozzie engines in 04 fiestas and pumas.the most important thing is the engine mount to stick the cvh into the focus

 

i dont get why you dont just use a hydraulic box if its already present?

 

if i can get away with using the hydrolic clutch i will.the cvh engine i have is using the 1600 zetec flywheel.is the focus 1600 gearbox the same as the focus 2litre one

 

WHY?

 

What he said.

WHY??!!

The Focus is a modern car, give it a modern engine, not a fucking old CVH.

 

i did see a focus zvh turbo, but wots the point, prob cost you about the same with zetec??

 

think i'd sooner have turbo'd zetec than the cvh, much stronger engine. cvh's always had trouble really

 

I can see more sense in ZVH, I considered this in my Focus 4+ years ago before I became skint! I ultimately bought enough NA toys to take my 2.0 to 170 at which point I was gonna TB it.

 

i have a zetec engine to stick in it also the early silvertop,but the mounts are different to the focus.also i only have ofac management at the minute can u run both together and pass an mot with it and no cat and lamda

 

Focus is a t EEG mate it's my project it is 1.8zetec at the min but that's coming out and sold
