MikeyRS Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 This has gone the usual way these threads about a V6 escort go, with everybody saying turbo a 2l zetec instead as its cheaper, less work and will give you more power. I still reckon you should try chucking one in though. Reckon it'd be a laugh. Exactly, typical response on here, follow the sheep. Make a gti rep and put a 2,0 turbo in. its old hat. The ST24 v6 was 170 bhp and the ST200 was 202bhp The vectra v6 was 192 bhp The whole point is to mod your car different to other people, be innovative and make a mark on the scene so to speak.

I still reckon you should try chucking one in though. Reckon it'd be a laugh. It's be a laugh to spunk thousands on getting 160 odd brake? IF you like wasting money and really want a mk6 that is slightly faster than a 2.0 but slower than a "on a shoestring" 2.0 turbo. Surely the reason your driving an escort is because you cant afford to buy something that is this quick as standard? (such as an ST200, which will be cheaper to insure, better to drive, and better specced, than a mk6 with the engine in)I think this conversion would probably cost so much that you'd be able to buy and run something much better with the money..Think of the possibilities! (300BHP car [anything with a turbo and tune it slightly, or something with a V8 like the E39 540], or 160BHP mk6 escort?????) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 It'd be nice if one day one of these threads was "I want to put a Duratec v6 in my Escort and make it RWD".. then i'd give it all the support in the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuey650 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 There's a van kicking around with this engine and its 4x4. Very smart but no easy task. I'm sure I posted a pic a year or 2 back of it. I'd personally rather have a reliable v6 kicking out 170Bhp with the V6 burble that goes with it than some clapped out CVH turbo or zetec producing the same, just because its different.

Front or mid-engined though? In an ideal world a front mounted engine with rear mounted transaxle, but I think that's probably asking a bit too much!
