i'm thinkin of removing my throttle boddies from my st170 engine and fitting a std focus rs turbocharger and std log ex manifold and 2.0 plastic inlet

Do the rubber seals fit around the larger 170 ports?

i have had the parts to do it for ages to use on my 2.0 fiesta blacktop i has a few years back

and on a side note how do 170 cams cope up to ~1 bar of boost with a 9:1 cr with the VVT active?

the aim is not to have 8k rpm gear happy screamer and have ~220 bhp of 5th gear overtaking power and maybe catch my brother in his octavia vrs

i thought i'd ask to see if it's a waste of time or not because i'm just runing the idea through my head at the moment

cheers

 

would have thought the st170 cams would have to much overlap unless the VVT separates them a huge amount at low RPM

 

humm this is why i ask the Pf experts

not after big power just a nice bit of torque because i'm fed up of thrashing it above 7k to go places

this is probably why people start with focus 2.0 lump

 

wont fit mate port heights are different by about 5mm
