I priced a focus rs engine today for £1100. just the engine, no gearbox, no wiring loom, turbo or anything. But would this still not be cheaper and more reliable than trying to build my own zetec turbo?
Does the engine bolt straight onto the focus gearbox and is the mounts the same? If it bolts straight in and i get the front mounted intercooler for the rs with pipes and all with it and omex brain to run it, then after manifolds, turbo and altenator their couldnt be a pile more.

the engine will bolt straight into a 2.0 zetec one , and you can even use the 2.o box etc , but to make it run , you need everything from a focus rs ,

as said you need the loom and clocks etc better off getting a smashed one or everything

I can see what your saying, but if I'm building a zetec turbo, con rods, pistons and an engine will cost as much as I can buy the RS engine for. The RS engine already has oil feed to the turbo and oil returns and proper sump and everything sorted. Why would I have to buy the rest of the RS focus, I could just treat this engine for the starting block of my Zetec turbo project and use after market management.

I haven't the money to splash out in one go, this was to be an ongoing project.
