hey

just wondering if this is true?

when i went to buy my rs2000 the previous owner mentiond to me that a nissan sx inlet manifold fits onto the rs2000 engine bolt for bolt?

is this true?

 

not bolt for bolt but have seen it done with a nissan manifold and an RS2000 flange welded on as the port spacing is very similar

 

ok cool, ive got a plan lol

 

Are you sure you arent thinking of the exhaust manifold?!?!

 

oops i was talking about the exhaust

 

Let's hope he isn't too far into his plan by now

 

LOL!!

im sure hes been building his car for ages so it wont be too much of a problem

 

Sorry but this springs to mind

 

cant half tell its xmas all the jokers are out..

just because i have a life and dont spend every penny i earn on my car doesnt mean i cnt have a project... i have a colt ralliart as a daily driver, my escort is a project for the track sorry it hasnt been finished in ur time scale...

 

Calm yourself Shooter McGavin... was just a bit of lighthearted banter!!


Cheers,

I've got a spare tubular manifold if your looking for one...

 

Apologies if i caused offence, it wasnt meant.....like was said just some light-hearted banter

 

sorry chaps, my bad i had a bad nite last nite i hate xmas!

all i was wondering was if a inlet would be close to fitting as ive come across a supercharger cheap what was used on a 200sx, my idea was to sell my focus rs engine and gearbox, buy the s/c on the rs2000 engine as this will mean ill have spare cash from selling the engine and gearbox to get my car finished, and ill still have good power with the s/c and i could always upgrade to a 2.3 galaxy engine for cheap in the future.

what do you guys think about this?

i know ive had my car a while now, but at the end of the day i bought it when i was 18 and im now 20 and i have NO disire to save the money i earn hence why my project is so far behind, i dont like waiting haha

i want to get the car running, get some track time in and then upgrade to a genuine escos and swap some of the parts i can over..

the supercharger will be cheaper than the focus rs lump and ill have the car on the track sooner, does this make sence? shall i go for it?

a serious discussion would be appriciated as everything ive done is self taught, even though im good with cars im not a mechanic either..
