i have a ford escort L 1.3 1990 in stunning condition with s2 bodykit but i want to put rs turbo engine in. what exactly is needed> it has 5 speed box im not after alo of power so not too bothered about lsd

 

i think the best way would be to buy a rot box erst and swap every thing over

then sell the bit you dont want and make some money back

 

yes i no what your sayin but i was thinking of just buying a gd cvh turbo engine and going from there what else would i need?

 

loom ecu's fuel tank rad i/c engine mount all the pipe work

i think thats about it

but would be better if you could find a cheap erst rot box and then just swap all the bits over aleast that way you know you have every thing before you start doing it

 

why fuel tank mate? and how hard is the loom? has anyone got a wiring diagram would it be in haynes manual?

 

fuel tank has a swirl pot in it plus if the car ur putting it all into isnt fuel injection then u need to change the fuel lines, plus all the other parts like ecu mounting brackets, boost hoses, water hoses, air box, fuel metering unit, injector pipes, antiroll bar, header tank, dizzy and lots of small clips and other parts plus you will have to uprate your brakes & suspension, its so much easier to buy a rotten erst park them side by side and swap everything over that way u can see where everything is ment to go and it will work out alot cheaper in the long run

thanks mate didnt know fuel lines, just replace them with rs turbo ones. i didnt know anti roll bar? why does that need changing?

 

rs turbo antiroll bar is thicker so will make the car handle better with all that power going through the front wheels, also the s2 has a rear antiroll bar aswell
