Due to a medical condition i cant drive a car without power steering and have always wanted an Rs Turbo - would it be possible to fit it to one?I have emailed Jamsport about a possible Rs tubo conversion for my Mk 6 Escort but waiting to hear about back.Any help advice etc would be great!

can convert mk6 to RS power.

mk4 powr steering is poss, some had it from new ( mobility) but are rare as rocking horse shit with hens teeth inside.

but IIRC mk4 can be converted to use power steering from mk5.

1.9 xr2 on 40's

easier to use the electromagnetic type they use these days for a conversion i would think

If you want an RST powered Mk6 escort then I dont see why you couldnt

some mk5 cabs come with a 1.6 cvh's and have power steering fitted.the racks on mk5s and 6s are interchangeable.all you need to do is take off the brackets,pump and hoses off the cab and fit it all to your mk6.Thats what my brother in-law did and the power steering works mint on his mk6 turbo

electrically assisted steering column would be best.

You can also fit power steering to a MkIV, using parts of a MkV CVH Escort.

This guy has welded the crossmember of the MkV into the MkIV:

So if i wanted to convert my mk6 escort to run an rs turbo engine with power steering that would be more feasible?
