I KNOW an rs2k head goes on a 2.3 block and its a bolt on job but all the cars ive seen doing this are FWD..

im gettin a classic ford and wanting to do the same thing put in a 2.3 block... rs2k head cos i know they make good power and i like the engines a lot..

however there are question i need answering

1. what about injection .. as rs2k is for transverse and throttle body would be at back???

2. what eaxactly do i need to do conversion (basc part list)????

3. will it fit height wise

4. how does it run without balancer sdhafts??

 

1. i would just run the standard induction and exhaust on the rs2000 head and match the ports with a dremmel.

2. unknown...

3. you dont mention what you want to fit it into

4. i think you can run it without balencershafts, it was just used in the 2.3 galaxy to smooth the engine out a bit... not to much of a problem in a performance car..

lastly.. DONT TYPE IN BIG LETTERS AS ITS ANNOYING!!!

 

so standard indution to be used even thow that wuld mean throttle body at bulkhead??...

and its going to be going into a ford popular 100e...... and does anyone know whats needed for the converison and what sort of power it will be ... heard a lot of people have done it however only in fwd format..

 

sorry i thought you meant it was going where there was already a i4 there..

you can use the intake of a late model sierra 2.0 non-cossie as its the same engine in RWD format... not sure if it will fit to be honest as its a tall engine..

but would be interesting to see, 2.3 torque in a pop

 

SO 2.3 block form scorpio, rs2k head, sierra inlet , or could i use a scorpio inlet onit ....

and what bout managment standard scorpio management or rs2k managment or sierra???

should be anrd 160bhp standard but hell tons of torque

 

couldent help you with management mate..

with somthing that old it would probebly be better to go stand alone engine managment...

maybe a little omex unit or somthing. 2.3 N/A would be simple and you wouldent need any fancy features..

 

id be using twin 40's to get the fuel in there

would run ok on rs2k management and a unichip (thatswhat ive seen them running on)

 

What advantage do i get using the RS2K head over the normal 2.3 head.... could i not just use the cams form the rs2k head or is there more differences

 

the rs2000 head has better ports as standart so would be better for the increased displacment,

as a general rule..

with an otherwise standard naturally aspirated engine and head, an increase in displacment will increase torque, but will make the same horse-power lower down the rev range, as the head and cams, intake and exhaust generally dictate horse-power made and where.

 

soo for RWD application i am ok using 2.3 block form scorpio.. rs2k head... and they bolt togethe rno problem??

what about the induction... if i was using standard what would i use rs2k manifold etc orr scorpio or sierra??

 

head bolts strait to the 2.3 block no probs but make sure you use the rs2000 timing gear to remove the balencer shafts.

use a sierra inlet and manifold and a custom exhaust, and use the 2.3 management,

the 2.3 gave 144 as standard and with just the rs2000 head should give 160-170 brake after removeing the balencer shafts.

JOSH

 

thats snds good... soo wha would i be looking at if i use the whole 2.3 engine with rs2000 cams, exhaust and matched ports on inlet to head...


cos i cnt see why you would use the rs2000 head instead of the 2.3 is der any reason... cos the rs2k cams will just go into the 2.3 head

 

the ports in the rs2000 head are different, so the cams would not give you as much as the whole head/cam combo

read that before loads of times jsut for 8v 2.3.... im wanting 16v 2.3... Think my best bet is to use 2.3 as a complete engine.. insert rs camshafts.... get a ported and poslished head ... exhaust ... bike carbs and should see around 170-180 bhp .. not frogetting to remove balancer shafts in process... That way no worries bout compression ro mixed engines...

A botom end lighten and balance may help it rev more freelty aswell..

 

sounds good with bike TB i rekon you'll see more than 180bhp,

definatly if you had a aftermarket ecu over 200
