p4u1 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 What could I squeeze a 2.5 focus rs engine into been thinking ka but might not fit, the 2.0 rs goes into the ka tho, I'm after a small car ie fiesta ka etc as a sleeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danj8608 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 You won't get a 5cyl in anything like a ka or escort unless you spaceframe the front end or mount long ways and go rwd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rs Turbo in a Ka would still be insane. We grafted a 2L Silvertop into a Ka with 271BHP, Cossie's couldn't even live with that. Or my personal favourite Atmo Cossie in a Mk6 Escort, FWD or RWD.

p4u1 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's the st not rs lol, mmm worth a try lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Assuming if you want to transplant it into anything other than a Focus you're not scared of a bit of hard work and some fabricating..... I'd say something longitudinal with the option of 4WD. Audi 80 Quattro Sierra 2wd or XR4x4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4u1 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Just seeing what it would go into I could go the easy way and drop it into a focus not sure yet I'm looking for another car to replace the escort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p4u1 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Il see if I get the engine first il buy the car after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danj8608 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Doesn't matter if your on about the Rs or st 2.5 they are longer than the zetecs so will not fit transverse with out going spaceframe. Stick a silvertop or black top or even the st170 duratec ( fancy black top ) in a ka much oh fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Don't set your goals too high.. I'd go with an rs turbo engine with a stage 1 chip.. fast enough.. just make sure you have good intercooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4u1 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Goal ain't high, might be able to pick the engine up dirt cheap hence me asking mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 a fiesta mk5 or mk6 maybe with a squeeze a Mk6 fiesta lol. but i think put it in a kit car mate! like caterham etc! more fun and you'll be able to drift and go round the track super fast lol!!

sidrick Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Wasn't the Focus ST front suspension pretty damn fancy to be able to cope with that amount of power/torque in a FWD setup? I would imagine it would be pretty crazy in a KA or Fiesta. Probably not much fun to drive at all, not without serious upgrades to the suspension and drivetrain. Just a thought. Hence my suggestion of rear of 4wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noah_swann Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 would using a volvo S80 M65 gear box not help you in terms of space? as this fits on the end of the straight 6 Twin Turbo in the front of the volvo, and is supposedly the world smallest FWD gearbox.
