I'm new to all this but thought I'd like to share my new project on my s2 G Reg escort Rs turbo.
I'll update it as and when each part is done any help would be great




This is what she looks like now and for some strange reason the previous keeper decided to put a Rs 2000 engine in it



But I do have the original engine which is being taken apart to find out what it's like inside


I'll update again as soon as some work gets started
First thing I'm going to do wile the engine is getting sorted is take all the Interior out And get the floor Weilded

 

Does anyone think I should or even could put the efi from the Rs 2000 on the Rs turbo engine????

 

I'd pull all the bodykit off and get the carpets as these can be hiding rot nightmares! as I learned when I bought mine. Then worry about the engine/running gear later.

I'm not sure about using the rs2000's bits. However I think going EFI would be a smart move.

 

I'm redoing all 4 floor pans and the body kit is coming off next

 

I'd whip the dash out as well. Them footwells can sometimes rust all the way up to the scuttle.

 

I hope it hasn't
Iv left it at my mates garage and he's going to drop the engine ect out and start the wielding I'll tell him to take a look

 

He'll be able to see if he get under the dash and has a look/ good poke about with a screw driver.

Mine looked alright until I went at it with a screw driver.

 

Good luck with it .

 

Thanks for the replys
i pick the car back up on the 15th Feb
He's going to take the dash out and drop the engine out and then once all wielding is done she's off to the spray shop
So I'll probably be updating again then

 

Wicked news look forward to seeing it getting painted.

 

The engine is out look how sorry she looks


Roll on the 15th

 

Looks better now that bloody awful engine is gone!

Steam clean the engine bay and get some more pics up please

 

I can agree to that lol
As soon some more work is done I'll be posting

 

That front end looks very clean!

 

I would turbo the RS2000 lump

 

Front end on that as survived very well.

 

You really think so that's made my day lol



What do you think of koni suspension I only took the close up below and this was a pic of the gearbox but is the suspension worth cleaning up iv been told it is in working order

 

Also the rs2000 lump is for sale or swaps for any Rs turbo bits I need a new spoiler and door cards and we'll all interior I guess because mine is wank

 

May be worthwhile asking around to see if Koni offer a refurbishment service, best of both worlds if they do

 

See if you can get the Koni's checked/rebuilt as Koni no longer make adjustable shocks for mk4s.

 

You can get your Konis rebuilt. A guy called Shaun Pickering (sp suspension) did mine I got his number off the Koni main site.

Cheers

I still haven't got the car back from the weilder it's been delayed but he said it should be done by next weekend the 25th so I hope to be updating then

 

Sorry in my delay but everything seems to take longer than I would like but here's where I'm at I'm waiting for my new fast road cam from burton then the engine will be done

One side done

 

Keep up the good work

 

This reminds me of mine! Keep it up mate!

 

Looking good work mate .

 

It need a fue touch ups and tidying up then off to the spray shop where they will sort out the arches ect

 

Looking good once again.

 

I can't find anything about this chip on the net

 

I no many of you will dislike what I've done to the interior but I've been looking for new for 4 months and nothing is good enough so I got the lot reupholstered ito my liking i'm hoping within a month I have already built back together

 

The seats look good. But need the Recaro badges to really finish them off!

The chip is as it says on the sticker, powerchips... Its a decent enough chip. This search took me 10 seconds:

http://www.powerchips.com/history/

What did you type in the search bar?

 

Every time I typed powerchips it only seemed to show tuners
And I couldn't find the exact one or a pic of , what kind of power will it give?
Anyway I tried to edit my post but couldn't I'm waiting for the guy to get an Rs made up and my recovery badges restored to look new then he's going to replace that whole rectangle but it takes 7 weeks
Thanks for the repy

 

Good work mate so far.......

I've recently just purchased a series 2 RS, in white & 90 spec also. looking forward to getting her home & stripping it etc. fingers crossed she wont be too bad.

 

Good luck mate hope you don't have as many problems as I have
it will be all worth it though

 

Cheers fella
I'll prob experience plenty but hoping the end goal will be worth it. The stresses of an RS ha
