Don't put a diesel box in you will gain NOTHING!! they are no stronger or better if anything they are worse get a proper rs box with LSD all the diesel box will make you car do is spin one wheel and you will lose grip in the corners and thats not a good thing

Hi a S1 box will fit in a S2, but not the other way round as the MK3 Escort has a different mount at the front of the box which isn't used on the MK4. If the box is still in the car jack the front up, spin one front wheel, if it has a LSD the other front wheel will spin in the same direction. If the box is out of the car look where the drive shafts go into the box if there is a bar going from top to botton and you can see throught to the other side there is no lsd.

Hope this helps.

Could be wrong, but I think the diesel box has different gear ratios giving a taller 5th gear, hence a bit more top end.

Not sure if your loosing power in the lower gears though?

Deffinately get a good working LSD
