MikeyRS Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 What is the general consensus on a Honda V-Tec engine conversion on a Mk5 Escort? Just another of my random ideas, but as the v-tec engine is good for reving to 8500 rpm ( and i luv to rev!) thought it might be worth a little researching in to!

basskiddanny Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Not really related to you putting it into a MK5, but i sure a project online once that i think was into a MK2 Escort, didn't read too much into it at the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_GTi Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 if you were to do that, please please please go RWD !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyRS Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 if you were to do that, please please please go RWD !! Depends how easy it was to do. From what i gather it seems to be quite a job to do, with making new components up to fit. and prob costly too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_GTi Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 but if you do something that radical it'll always stand out and be talked about ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyRS Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 but if you do something that radical it'll always stand out and be talked about ! Very true! But the bank manager wont be too happy! and i gota keep him sweet! Id love to do the conversion, depending how difficult it would be to do. Ya can pik up vtec engines for reasonable prices but its making everything fit that will be the most costly! il have a chat with some garages and see how diff they think it would be.

Andy_GTi Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 there must be a fabricator on here ?? or if not a company that would give you a big discount/ no labour charge if you get you can in a mag and use they as your sponsor and advertise them ?
