so i got me a 1.8 16v mk6 escort for 500 squid about a mounth an a half ago an i got myself quite a bargin as it had 12months mot taxed till then end of the month ( no dramas).
so i decided to look thro the paper work an the dude who spent the money on it cowboyd the bits on which included (stainless zorst, f.s.e power boost valuve, pippercross viper induction kit , bucket seats, 17s koni fully adjustable all round.
anyways ime going on abit lol
my point is this with them few bits my cum still comes out my nob quicker so as its only gonna be my runaround for while ime building my fiesta i want some poke in the chick.
so i was thinking the rs2000 lump but i dont really no much about it so if any of you guys have any info that will be great or even anything that is better

What

 

Its a straight swap. They only pump out around 147hp as opposed to the GTI which I think is 130hp ?

 

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a straight swap.

The loom is different, the box is different, the subframe is different, the driveshafts, hubs, gear linkage....

Easiest way is to buy a donor car and swap the parts, but with the price of RS2000s at the moment, you'd be better off just selling the GTI and buying an RS. Save a load of hassle and maybe have some resale value one day. Converted cars are worth sod all.

The GTI is 113bhp, not 130.

 

I meant no fabrication required but yes valid point :-(

 

yea been doin abit of page flicking why waiting for replys an its not really worth doin anything to it but i def have to take the crappy jap crap back box of tho
thanks guys
