Hi there,

i'm looking at doing up my 2.0 litre focus

Starting with the engine and ive heard so many different ways to give it abit more kick,
anybody got any idea's whats goin to be the best result all round money wise to?
do i turbo the 2.0 litre ive got or source an engine like a focus rs or similar?

Help?

 

you will be better puttin this in general disscussion m8 no 1 relii comes in here

 

ok cheers!

 

go for a focus rs engine and ancillaries! 2500 is a normal price. most parts are plug and play and pound for poud imo is the cheapest way to tune a focus! decat airfilter and remap will reape 260ish

 

Id go for turbo thats what im doing any one can buy a rs engine and slap it in go and be unquie and turbo it.

 

ive heard mixed things about putting an rs engine in it like the engine mounts are different an i'd need to get some made
that true?

 

nope. it'll go straight in.

 

I reckon a sierra floorpan and a cossie lump is the way ahead

Or stick a focus RS engine in it

 

i was thinking a focus RS engine but when i heard they might be abit of a pain to do i was put off but as long as they go straight in pretty much i'll probably opt for that!

Cheers!!!

 

ive fitted a focus rs engine and box to my 2.0 esp and it went straight in and i used my original engine&gearbox mounts! make sure you get all the loom as i had to blend my interior loom to the rs one.
the driveshafts are also different and i had to moddify mine to get them to fit
apart from that its alot easyer than turboin yours....

i will admit it was the best thing ive ever done and now its pushing out nearly 300bhp but still looks like a 3dr 2.0 esp its caught alot of people out!!
