easiest one to go for is fitting the FRST lump and management into an XR2. The RST EFi stuff is a bit hard to squeeze in the engine bay.

You will need the loom from a frst including ecu (might also be an idea to transplant the dash from the frst into the xr2, saves faffing about re-wiring the clocks to fit the original xr2 ones, plust the xr2 dash looks better ) engine and ancilleries of course and the frst fuel tank.

I think thats it.

 

Does fuel tank fit in ok then?
Gonna have a looky at that site.

 

nope, but you need something from it iirc

 

m8 done this to his xr2 engine straight in in half a day only trouble is the exhaust have to modyfy and depends what you want but then there is btakes suspension etc butr if you got balls leave it all standard m8 did this in his first one proper funny raced loads of stuff down front upset a ferw too

also talk to mk marc as he got one that he rebuilding

 

turbo xr2s are stupidly quick, mine is getting taken off the road to be done untill next year.

 

gareth t has just mapped his mates on a s8 have a chat with him should be able to give good details on it


cheers jay

Fair play though,Always wanted a turbo XR2
