i no its been done before but wondering if anyones done or doin a conversion at min.
my bro has a 200sx which is boarderline 300bhp n its fast n puts up with abuse n never misses a beat! (2.0 turbo).... if u want u can buy the whole conversion on the floor with all running gear plus loom n ecu etc for around £1000! YB on the otherhand would be more than double that for complete ready to bolt in conversion. replacement engine for my bros is bout £400 but ud prob only get a YB head for that kinda money

basically a bit of head scratching n welding u could mount jap power in a mk1/2 etc then if u brake anythin it wont be overly expensive to fix... massive market for performance mods to!
id like to see some if anyones doin such a project!!

 

im sure i have saw a mk1 escort with a 200sx sr20 engine before

 

I know of a mk2 cortina with a 200sx lump in it. Looks smart in the bay too.

 

i remember seeing (in a mag) a rx7 wankel engine in a cortina i think it was from newzealand

 

Think MikeC off here is converting a MK6 Escort with Subarun running gear

Plus sure there's a foreign MK2 Escort with a skyline lump

 

We're building a mk1 escort with a 13b ATM and thinking maby a 2jz in my cossy soon

 

I'd love to see a granny with an rb26 lump.

 

i think there is a fiesta running an evo set up .

theres loads

fiesta with evo
sierra with supra
escort cos with rb26
mk1 escorts with 200sz and skyline lumps

and a focus in ireland running full skyline gtr gear 4wd

 

fair few of old skool fords with 4AGE lumps in.

 

My mate built a mk2 with a 200sx motor in it about 10 yeas ago.It went alright

 

Ye plenty have been done. I want to see a full on 800+bhp 2JZ in a mk2 escort 4 door. In beige please.

 

SR20's are very good engines, but please tell me where you can get a good one for £400!

 

Do a google search on 200sx forums or maybe driftworks? Try your luck there?

 

Just in the process of building a wrc escos with a 375bhp sr20 s14 lump. Fully stripped for drifting.
Pics will be soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I know, I'm on most of the forums, and own an s14a. My point was, £400 for a good SR20 is bloody cheap!

 

Saw a mk2 with a Honda S2000 motor in it at Croft a few years back.

 

Theres a mk2 capri in August issue of Classic Ford with a 200sx turbo lump

 

I have a poster on my wall of an Escos with an RB26 motor.

 

I have been speaking to the guy that owns the rb25 escos about my car as originally i was going rb25.
Very helpfull and nice chap and his motors awesome!!!!

 

The white and green one? Proper smart install as well! I'd forgotten it was RB25 not 26!

 

Thats the one!

 

thanks for the replies peeps, i no they have been done and are out ther im just asking if anyones doing one now, has any pics etc?? just some info on the kinda problems that arrise......

also zetec sam my brothers mates s13 bottom end went bang and he found a s14 engine for £400....

whole set up is on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-200...#ht_500wt_1189

like its been said im sure if ur on the right forums ul be aware of the prices mor and b able to spot bargains but ther out ther mate! cheaper than a YB even if i have under priced them, thats my original point. not having a dig fella just saying. cheers

 

 

I no of a focus running full scoot running gear

 

guy round my way has a skyline powerd ecos,rwd. was in one of the ford mags recently

 

at the ford trackday at brands on sunday there was a mk2 escort with a honda lump in (dunno what from lol) went pretty well round the track aswell and also i know its not ford but in a fast car mag theres a 608bhp evo engined pug 205 still fwd!

 

I had a b18c integra lump and box in a mk4 escort.

And as luke89 said there's a wankle mk1 Scott.
A d I'm desperately trying to bully him into selling his yb set up and and buying a 2jze and 6 speed.

 

Pretty common conversion now here

FOOOOK ME thats rapid..... propa bit of kit that i expect!!!!!

 

Brother in law has an escort van with 700bhp 2jz engine, rwd

 

saw that at tracks last year on track... mental!!!!!!

 

There was an Anglia in Classic Ford with a Toyota 4AGE lump. Ideal engine for an old Ford if you aren't after massive power. Pretty sure Toyota ripped off the design from the BDA (bore/stroke) but improved it in some respects. They even sound like a BDA when on throttle bodies

 

PICSSSSS!

 

+1 that does sound awesome!

 

pics of van here, stunning piece of kit

https://passionford.com/forum/genera...hat-it-is.html

 

Engine has been moved back a lot since then for better handling, the turbo now sits behind the strut brace believe it or not lol

 

This is exactly what im doing now, put a deposit down on a ca18det motor,just got the mk2 in my sig back from the bodyshop, drop my hot crossflow in it for a year then in goes the nissan motor, reliable 200bhp, yes please.

 

I'm planning a focus soon running full 200sx running gear as soon as my sierras out of my garage , gonna be built on a budget too will post pics when we start chopping up both cars
