I was talking to someone today about turbocharging a rs 2000 4+4 and they went on to say it shouldn't be done as there becoming rare now and I should turbo a gti and make that 4wd. now I'm not completely stupid as I know almost anything can be done with time and money but is it a massive hassle to convert one? Look foward to your replays

easy, chop the floorpan out of the GTi and replace it with one of the 4x4 ones available, i.e RS2000 or sierra.......

or buy one of the above

Why? Just buy an RS 2000 4x4

as above they are cheap enough when in need of work as a gti will only ever be a fake and worth way less

I agree I would like the rs but you know what some people are like. the fella was going on how it's now a rare classic ect ect but looking around there are some in need of work so it won't be all that bad lol
Cheers guys now to sell the Subaru and find me an rs

just do it to an rs2000 4x4.

Fuck what the "purists" think. It's your car.

There's a guy breaking a 4x4 rs2000 big spec car on here, the shell is for sale alone with a modified Evo running gear modded to suit that shell

If I was you I would get that lot brought and purchase a zetec turbo, job done and a bolt together project to save loads of hassle

totally agree as these cars will never set the world alight even in OE form, and I have owned one too

you have lots of helpful info from the lads on the rs2k site about the transfer box being the weak link on what you want to do ,who told you not to use an rs2k 4x4 ,there is also links on the site to people who have built a turbo rs2k
thanks Gary

So what if you upset the "purist's" at least you will have an awesome car! and also there is only two true RS2000's in my opinion anyway, the MK 1 and MK 2 RS2000

rs2kgary

mk5 and mk6 are true rs2000 because thats how they left the ford factory
thanks Gary

I'm pretty sure it says RS2000 on my car's logbook, so I think it must be one

Turbocharging a 4WD one would make for a fun car, but you have to be careful of the transmission. People have gotten away with it if you don't go too bad and don't launch it from every junction.

Cheers guys I'm gonna build one as like a lot of you have said very true things sadly rsmark Ian isn't selling that anymore but it will be good to see him put it on the road.
I won't launch it much as I don't really do it in the Subaru I want a sleeper that will already be rolling before hitting the noisy peddle and giving someone a shock lol.
