why choose the rs2k engine?

seen this done on a mk4 escort which was a really tight squeeze, needed longer bolts with washer's on to go through the subframe which lowered it enough to get the engine in and bonnet to close also the passenger side suspension turret needed gently persuasion with a hammer to give the cam cove enough clearence. not sure about a fez though mate

im guessing cos its different. the rs2k i4 lump is a great engine. 150ps standard, slightly heavier than zetecs so should help out with getting the power down through the front wheels aswell.

JayCC

fair play, just wondered. would have thought zetec would be the way to go though..

i have done it. an noddy-s helped an it took a long time but that was my fault for being lazy but now its done i thinks its awsum! if u want pics of my bay just let me know. or any ideas on what i done.

mikemcc03

i dont know how to post pics so links will have to do!
it aint 100% yet but not far off

JayCC

they are definately pics
imo, apart from the badboy bonnet, that looks spot on!

not a bad motor at all

Mark_

thatlooks great was it hard fitting it? did you have to lower the subframe at all? bet it goes like stink

mikemcc03

i had to lower the gear box cradle a bit an squeeze the engine in an move the servo over a bit an abuse the original engine mount
an it does go well! if i do say so myself. if any 1 wants more pics let me know
