planning on putting a 2.5 turbo from a focus ST into my mk2 escort, if anyone has done this or with a t5 i would appreciate any help you guys could give me, or a heads up on what trouble im getting into...

cheers, davie

 

it will take way to much work to make it worth while mate there realy not suited to fitting in a rwd car

 

if its way too much il giv it a swerve, its just something different and the cost of cossie engines is unbeleivable lol

 

there cheep enough but im putting one in a connect and even that aint easy ;
if you where to do it use a 2.3 volvo lump much better for high power as you cant get 350 without it braking the block in half

 

had a look at them too, ther cheaper to get a hold of anyway. got a rwd fiesta with a zetec... if it ends up out of shape the escort will end up with that engine anyway lol

 

The YBs are expensive and common tbh. go for it. ul be the first to do it, thats gotta mean something

 

cheers mate, we'll see how it pans out

 

good luck

 

I say go for it m8 think a volvo t5 gearbox will fit? Not only that its different to a cossy lump and there a good reliable engine. Its the dare to be different?

 

wasnt sure if u got a rear wheel drive t5, any i've known of hav been front wheel drive. always good to b different and i had a focus st-3 n loved it, so that power and reliabilty mixed with the looks of a mk2... should b good

 

You can't fit it mate
there are no where to mount as I rwd engine
the engine mounts front and back not side to side
I looked into it before fitting the cosworth to mine

I work for fords and asked everyone and phone everyone out there and was told no

but if you can do it let me know lol

 

mounting the engine goes past my capabilties lol, iv seen it done with the volvo t5 engine before with some custom engine mounts, not sure just how much work went into the mounts thou... time will tell lol! had a look at ur mk2 aswell, nice work mate.

 

I had my hads on the new RS focus engine that had been played with but turning it down as I was told no way to make it work

Buy I only had I year to build from shell to mot
so had to change plan on engine to keep to time frame
plus I got a brand new still in it's box cosworth engine lol

but good luck and Ill be here if you need any help lol

 

not setting a time scale on this one for obvious reasons lol, thanks for the offer of help as im sure il need it at somepoint and i havnt even got the shell ready yet lol, will try and keep the updates goin as the project goes on and hopefully some1 i know will find a way 2 squeeze the engine in

 

hello mate, nice here that you going for a 2.5 turbo, the thing is your last words are right! TROUBLE, but the way i look at it is try it theres not a such thing as it wont work!

 

thanks intending the car being a long term project so plenty time for trouble lol. and if it isnt going to work, jump ship and start again with something else

 

the only reason people are saying it cant be done is becuase nobody has done it, but people have done wilder conversions in the past that were deemed impossible. uv just got to get creative.

I was going to use a MPS 2.3 turbo in my mk2, (2.3 duratec turbo)
but i wanted to go N/A i have been told by numerous people not to convert it to N/A because the crank is too heavy etc and there are no N/A cams available for the head. so either i put a duratec N/A head on and have pistons made, or change crank rods and pistons. ??

if you want to stay with the turbo option, go for a MPS engine
260 bhp standard same mountings as a duratec conversion rwd parts off the shelf. no turbo lag brilliant engine. bomb proof.
Steel crank and rods as standard, bigger small ends for strength, thicker and cross drilled cooling walls, head is also cross drilled between valves to get rid of heat. bearings will go upto 500 bhp.
If you want some pics of engine mounting area etc give me a shout.

 

i was lookin into t5 ing a old for and me and my mate from work reckon its do-able! you should be able to use a gearbox from a 960! as previously said the engine mounts would have to be specially fabricated! but i reckon its 100% do able with time!

 

we'll see how it goes, mite even get it all together with a standard pinto ect first while building all the new stuff out the car... well what can be done out the car anyway

btw whats all these viagra things?

 

mk1 focus rs engine mate ,dont get why people spend four grand building zetec turbo when ,you can pick these up cheap just a fort

 

due too unforseen surcamstances i may have to sell on my mk2 escort shell... if anyone is interested P.M me or call/text me on 07814553624 and i'l can give you more details... davie
