Hi
Ive bought a 2 Ltr zetec to go into my s2 but hAve been offered a mk1 focus Rs duratec engine.
Is it and different to fit than a zetec ?
Mounts the same ?
Engine same size ?
Will my rst gearbox still fit ?
Manifold options compared to zetec ?
Any info appreciated guys

Basically need to l know if it's as straight forward as a zetec conversion is
Thanks

 

Mark 1 Frs lump is a turbo'd blacktop zetec.

 

im sure it will fit fine - however prob best to wait for the more knowledgeable peeps

 

Its a zetec so yes it will. Need to modify the engine mount

 

You will need a 1.8 flywheel if you want to fit a bc or ib5 box. Fitting a Mtx box at the same time would be best

 

Cheers guys
Am I right in thinking this woud be better than building a zetec ?
Engine I've been offered is smoking a bit and guy reckOns it's rings but bottom end has been rebuilt before.
Are they prone to ring wear ?
Worried it may require a rebore then oversize pistons etc then I'm into big money again

 

As above, it's just a zetec block so no problems with getting it in there. No idea why Ford put a duratec badge on it!

 

how much is the Frs engine?

 

£600
But it smokes

 

just buy this one.

Yeah I seen that But wife will kill me

 

i'd put the £600 towards a set of low comp pistons for zetec
