Hi, I have an escort mk4 cabby with a 1.6 cvh carb engine, whats needed for the rs turbo conversion?? Can I keep the same head?

 

If it was me id just get the full setup n fuel pump n tank

 

If it was me I'd get a rotten rs turbo and take all bits off that and put on the cab (I wish I had done that with my van) work out cheaper doin that then buying all bits individually.

 

yep, 1 rotten or rear ended s2, get them side by side and swap all the bits over!

 

i have a escort rs turbo mk4 that i am selling as parts but will sell as one if the price is right

 

the fuel tank must be changed aswell?

 

the RS turbo's have a high pressure electric fuel pump in the tank, the carb'ed engines have a low pressure mechanical one bolted to the end of the head!

 

its not in the tank on a rs turbo, its mounted externally between the rear wishbones.

 

sorry I forgot .... as it is on the fiesta! but if that is the case you could keep the tank then!

 

so the tank doesnt need any mods etc?

 

not sure but an external high pressure fuel pump should run things fine, the question is will you go MFI as in the fiesta bosch system as in the escort? either way a good high pressure fuel pump is required, I suspect that you can keep the tank though, you could billet mount a bosch 044 fuel pump (a bit overkill) between the wishbones and that will give you all you ever need!

 

Think efi is better so will go that route. Good news then, can paint it now hehe. Thankx all
