my mate has the same car so i will be watching for others advice on it, i would say chipped ecu, set of upgraded cams and an upgraded clutch would be a good start mate, full s/s exhaust, remove cat, ram air induction kit, maybe stripped out?

to go towards 300 you will need forged bottom end too

hi you can turbo an rs2000 but your talkin alot of money there was a feature in a ford mag about a red rs2000 with a 2.3 galaxy bottom end turbo'd i think it was over 300 at about 12psi but i could be wrong if you register with http://www.rs2000-16v.com/ im sure there a turbo conversion guide on there an performance upgrades you can do other than turbo. hope this helps

Silly money to modify these to over 250bhp......and you won't get your money back.


YB it then at least you've got some investment

forged bottom end, t35, managment, its big money just for those then theres all the little bits and pieces youll need, the gearbox conversion with a diff in so itll grip and take the power, suspension and brake upgrades etc etc

Best way to uprade the rs2000 really is to sell it and put the money towards an escos, the sky is the limit then!
