i am in the process of stickinga focus rs lump in a focus,

and im thinking while i got the engine out i may as well have some head work done , any suggestions on what to have done and where local to hertfordshire is the best place to have it done

 

I've have an RS converted Focus, make sure you use the right length driveshafts is all I can say, and strong CV joints.

 

anything else you can tell me fella, at the mo im going to run my standard gearbox with my drive shafts

 

Oooooh hell no, don't be doing that. The MTX75 box is pretty strong, but the FRS gearbox has uprated internals. Runs with revised gear ratio's, AP clutch and a quick shift. Loads of other niggly bits, but its built to take the strain.

Are you keeping the stock wings? As using RS driveshafts and hubs would be too wide. I used ST170 shafts and joints as I wanted to keep the exterior standard-ish, seem to take a lot of punishment so far.

What else do you want to know? PM me with questions, as I think I've had all the teathing problems you could expect from a conversion, and all FRS related problems...

 

i will be using the rs focus wings fella
'

did you use the rs rad and fans

 

alrite chap i hear uve already done a focus rs lump into a standard focus was it a lot of major work wot was the hardest bit as im lookin 2 do it into my st170

 

Depends what your needs are. But basically, its a straight swap, but u must be wary of the parts u use, gotta make sure everything is torque friendly. I also seem welded the shell, to make it that bit sturdier!

PM me with questions if u wish...

 

Ian Howell does Headwork and custom made cams to match.
But it will need to be remapped after that..

What is your budget on modding your engine??

 

i dont really have a budget as its being done over a period of time. and takes as long as it takes. i just want it right and right first time
