I've been offered a cheap(ish) ST170 that is cat C and wondered if I could fit the engine into my Mk 3 XR2i track car. Does anyone know if this is possible in any way? Or am I opening a can of worms and in for a task beyond reason....

Thanks

 

Yep you can definitely fit the engine in. Some work is need as far as mounts for the engine and gearbox but nothing impossible.

Do a search for an RS1800 called "MANJ" on fiestaturbo.com when it was owned by jimmyesh, he put ST170 running gear into his RS1800, so that might be of help for you

 

isnt the st170 under powered and suffers alot from flat spots ??

just what ive heard in the past lol

 

Seems very popular for an engine that is so underpowered and suffers from flat spots!!!

 

Just a qustion even if it was a stupid one lol didn't mean anything by it

Are Rey actually 170bhp and the flywheel ? ??
