Building a rs2000 4x4 into a 2.0 zt running around 300-350hp which is likely to kill the whole 4x4 system especially the trans box..

Can I use the 4x4 gear from the escort cos?

 

It is totally a different set up Escort cos engine sits north /south whereas rs2000 4x4 sits east west or transverse as it is called completley different.

 

You could, but you'd have to totally refabricate the whole floor pan and mount the engine the other way, so there isn't really much point.

I have heard mention of using Evo running gear, but I don't think anyone has ever done it.

There have been a couple of turbo 4x4 RS2000s, one was over 300bhp. Worth jumping on www.rs2000-16v.com and asking for info, but using the standard running gear is still a potential time bomb.

 

djm used the evo gear in a cossy ka so it is possible so i would be speaking to them and be prepared to empty your bank account lol!
