I have a focus and want to drop a turbo engine in. Any help?
- Price
- Difficulty fitting
- Type of engine

Cheers Jon

 

you have a focus

which engine?

best would be to sell and get a RS, everything you would need comes with it.

if you want a reliable n/a engine build to an turbo engine it will need new internals. you nead an intercooler section for the boost. manifold, exhaust, turbo, new electronic.

difficulty depends on what you can do and what not

 

I have spent a lot of time and money on modifing this one and i want to drop a rs engine or another engine that will drop in nicely. Its a focus 1.6.

I really wouldnt bother, If you want more power sell the 1.6 and get some of your money back. Then go and buy a FRS.

I did the same with a Sierra 2.0i Ghia and did a full cosworth conversion, spent thousands on it. And when you come to sell it you never get any of the money back.

So much would have to be changed on your Focus, Arches, Engine, Gearbox, Brakes, Ecu the list is endless. Really not worth it IMHO.

Trust me i've been down that road, would not recomend it to anyone.

Agree with pgtips. Problem is even if you did a turbo conversion you will still have problems with it later. The amount of money you will spend your rather get a FRS

 

Theres a company in the States that will some-how fit a 4.8 litre V8 engine into a focus..but it would cost a bit lol..but i think it would be well worht the money...( RWD, V8 Focus) i can see a Few features commin from that

 

Ive got a RS engine sitting around somewhere

ITs a lot of headache to be honest and costs a lot, you will have to replace nearly everything to get it running 100%

 

id quite like to see a v6 rear wheel drive conversion myself......

not that i have that it mind of course
