scottybo Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well only thing I can say to that is don't look in if your not happy what am doing as I've told others befor nobody said i wasnt happy, i love readin build threads and seein people work on there cars so im not having a pop at you by any means, i just think instead of all of this engine swap lark you could have just kept the zetec engine and did a few bits to that, or just sorted the rs engine, theyre pretty robust units so i cant imagine it needing much work to get back up to a good operating standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowRaceTrackMags What is your plan anyways?It would be nice to stand out from every escort, to be diffrent and i can under stand every other persons view and what you want?

tomsy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I've owned 2 rs turbos a series 1 and 2 i know the cvh engine is a bit dated now but the first time i drove a turbo i was blown away when that turbo kicks in its something else, so which ever way you go with an engine stick a turbo on it you wont be dissapointed.
