don't know if this is the right section but ive got a transit connect 1.8tddi

I want to fit a bigger engine in it simple as but don't know much about the ford stuff ive been more into Vauxhalls over the years

so I hear a Focus RS lump will fit (does this have a particular engine code?)

whats needed for the FRS engine to fit:

obviously engine gearbox ecu and fuel pump but what shafts what mounts etc etc also need to convert to 4 stud for the frs wheels


OR ive read about a zetec turbo??? what engine is this out of and again what parts needed to make it fit


cheers guys

 

Just a quicky, the RS lump is a Zetec turbo, Ford just badged it as a Duratec for some odd reason.

I think the Zetec bolts in place? I'm sure I read that somewhere but don't quote me on it.

 

oh right!

anyone know what wiring changes need doing or is it just plug the engine loom into the ecu and then have to convert the body/interior loom to work

 

anybody else got any useful info?

 

Something else I've just thought of, speak to Chorley Street Garage, they've done several FRS conversions over the years and a 4wd Cosworth one too.

A quick google should throw them up.

 

Ford actually made a connect with the focus rs engine in. Im sure they called it the x press.They only made the one.

 

Thats what im basing it on my other questions to come are can i swap the double rear doors for the tailgate

Im also on the lookout for a crashed frs

Cheers mate read about his 3 vans but doesnt rly tell much.

I pmd him yesterday with a few questions.

 

I thought you could buy the connect as a petrol fitted with a zetec

So building a zetec turbo would work but I would just get a focus rs lump and fit with an after market ecu

 

Its finding the rs parts
