Hiya guys I'm Chalky (Leanne) but I answer to most things lol

I've had loads of Fords before and then I went for an e46. I've just sold that and I'm looking at a mk5 rs2000.

My question is...

How hard is it to turbo one??

If anyones gonna give me a lil explanation then can you talk to me like I'm a 5 year old so I get it haha (I am female lol can we remember this )

Cheers guys

 

Go on www.rs200016v.com there a kind of knowledge and helpful on there,to my knowledge very few RS2000's been tubrocharged as there not an easy engine to modify it has been done but I think the cost is the main thing

Oh welcome by the way

 

Cheers darlin I'll have a look now

 

that should be www.rs2000-16v.com

 

lol yeah I guessed that

mistake 1 joining passionford
mistake 2 (this ones a biggy) telling passionford your a girl

kosman will be along shortly to see to you.....




welcome btw lol

 

<like>

 

No experience at all on the subject of turbocharging an RS2000 but I wouldn't have thought it would be a cheap experience due to not many off the shelf parts being available. Probably a lot easier to buy a MK1 Focus RS especially as the going rate for one now is astonishingly low.

P.S. Everyone introduces themselves on Passionford with pics. So er...pics please

 

Ignore the pics requests Leanne, poor things get ever so excited when there's new meat about

Most are harmless though

Welcome btw

Someone on here will defo have some decent info for you

 

Hi hope you buy a RS2000.

 

Welcome

If I had any idea on how to put pictures on here then I probably still wouldn't haha well I would but it wouldn't be what you're after lol

cheers for the welcome guys

 

no pics and shes from essex come on

 

welcome to pf

and best option is to put a fez rs turbo engine under the bonnet

easy to do and most likley the cheapest

have a search for jimbo's old escort and take look

you could sell your rs2000 engine to make some money back to

 

Are you sure about that... harmless? REALLY!!

 

Welcome to the forum.

RS2k is fun but the cost involved in turboing I simply wouldn't bother. I agree with the person above who suggested a Mk1 Focus RS, better car, quicker, better chassis and more tuning potential.

Watch out for the PF perverts, they should be along shortly

 

lots of folk will tell you lots of things, but possibly the easiest option is to go 2.3 and then after market manegement and then go from there

200 brake, cost you a grand maybe for the bits and, if you know what you are doing, could probably be up and running in a weekend

 

Easier to drop a focus RS lump in?

Good choice on the Mk5 though, gotta be in grey. not many about these days though

 

where is kosman anyway?

 

Turbocharging is do-able on the RS2000 lump, but bits aren't as common as for the Zetec engine, so it can work out a little more expensive.

It does seem to work well though. There's one in PF this month with a 2.3 turbo in it.

The other option is of course to go NA, which is also a decent route to to take on that engine, despite what some people will (wrongly) tell you.

It all very much depends on how much money you want to spend, and how many horses you want!

 

I'd advise removing the I4 DOHC and fitting a zetec tubro. It's easier then fannying about with the original engine. The RS2k already has a proper gearbox so you're sorted.

Oh, and have a thourough snoop around under the car as the Mk5 has a habit of rusting a bit

Welcome to PF!

 

Yes I'm from Essex Mark... not sure what that issue is about...

The one I'm looking at is grey

And yeah I know about the possible fiesta disease lol

 

oh and if me not having pictures on here is that much of a problem for you... my facebook thingy is over there

<---

knock yourself out love

 

I bet he will.........................................

 

lmao cheers Rab!

Sean.

 

ahhh you know pitsea mcdonnalds? just as you come off at pitsea from the a13...

anyway, theres normally a few of the seafront lot over there parked up at the weekend nights

 

Throttle bodies sound and go very very well.

Kenny @ MSD turbo'd one years ago and omg did it go some..!... Maybe try get in touch and ask him.

 

would right now be the right time to tell you lot that I have no idea what throttle bodies are lol

 

Hello and welcome,

1st question...
Why do you want to turbo it?

 

because I want a dump valve

but mainly cos I'm a twat lol

 

Pmsl !

Right ok,
So is power an issue?
I.e do you want big power or litterally just a dump valve ?

Also... ChAtter sound better than a dv

 

Chatter yeah thats the one... I forgot what 'normal' people call it lol I call it the molestered chicked noise

powers not an issue, I'm coming down from a 2.8 bmw cos I was gonna end up killing myself lol it's only for the school run lmao

I'm quite sure I'm still gonna be this sad when I'm 50 (i'll be able to insure a cossie by then though lol)

 

hello there, get on the RS2k form all the info you will ever need about the cars and all mods, doing a turbo conversion on my one, engine has been built for for 500+bhp and has cost me around 8k so far. im from bas to. a chap called James on the RS2K has done a good turbo 2.3 conversion for about 2K pushing 200bhp with loads of torque,
zetec engine is far more turbo friendly cost wise but if you want to be diffrent the RS2K lump is a very strong and can take a beating all day long

 

yep signed up on there earlier, haven't had a look around on there yet though

 

Well im 28 and it only costs me £500 a year to insure a focus rs with mods declared and im pulling 545bhp...

My missis!!! Wont even get in it hahaha!!! Why cant she be more like you haha,

A focus rs may be the way forward for you ....

If not to turbo an rs2k with a small turbo your looking at costs of at least £1500-£2000......

 

see the thing is I love mk5 escorts... it's like some sort of birth defect lol
