I'm currently driving an 90 Escort Sport, decked out with the rst bodykit, bumpers etc, but would like more power from the car. Is there anything I can do now to increase power or will I be better off going for the turbo conversion ?

ok, I never sleep and am spending too much time in this forum. Basically if your not a novice mechanically and you believe that you can fit a cvh turbo yourself, then go for it, remember that there getting on a bit, so your be lucky to find all the parts in good condition.<br>If your paying for someone else to fit all this stuff, then do yourself a favour and find the best engine and parts you can get hold of, remember that you'll probably never get the money you spend back, when u sell it. But you'll hopefully get it back in satisfaction.<br>I'd recommend an rs 1.8 fiesta or rs 2.0 escort gearbox.<br>escort/siera saphire 4x4 cosworth calipers<br>rs 2000 zetec engine and management and get a low pressure turbo conversion. This way your escort will maintain some value, as there is already a turbo model, so know one's going to buy yours unless its something really special. These are just my opinions of course and I'm probably completely wrong. Hope this helped.<br>over and out chrys

that would be mondeo/focus 2.0 engine.<br><br>rs2000 is old DOHC engine

i thought the latest rs 2000 4x4 was a zetec, was'nt the rs 1800 made around the same year a zetec? Your right it was a dohc, though. Can this be turbod? <br>laters<br>chrys

The RS2000 used the I4 DOHC lump,twin cam 16 valve but chain driven cams instead of a belt,ain't got much in common with a Zetec i don't think.I remember seeing a turbo'ed one on the cover of Fast Ford a few years back,i'll see if i can dig the mag out for any info <IMG SRC="http://cgi.deep6.force9.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif">.<br> <IMG SRC="http://uk.geocities.com/jon_bda/fordlogo.gif"> <br>

RS200 nand RS1800 do come in zeteks and can both be turbod although its gonna involve a lot of work and with the cost, unless your really determined just buy a faster car.
