xr2i-frst engine swap...........

Postby acb_FRST on Tue Feb 26, 2008 3:08 pm

have been thinking of getting out the xr2i and buying a FRST, but looking about its gunna be £ for a nice rst, and my xr2i is not rusty good condition etc etc so.......
how much effort is needed to drop a FRST engine in and get it running???? im guessing ECU to start with but LOOM????
havnt got a clue where to start, have looked about but cant make sense of exactly whats gunna need changing buying etc, will a ERST engine bolt in the same as the FRST???? if its differant will just FRST but if theyre the same might make it easier???? i really dont know please help lol!!! :-?

if you buy a full complete Fiesta rs turbo engine just bolt it in will need ecu /intercooler/rad think brakes are the same? the escort is difrent all together as its mfi? so will be better just to stick with a Frst unless you find one converted to Efi

think Rawli on here is selling my old engine might be worth asking him rs_rawli as i said think he is not sure if he has sold or changed his mind but worth ago :)

oh and check insurance out if you havent all ready make sure you can afford it before swapping over to find it to high lol :)

im using my xr2i fuel pump no problems there, you have to change the engine loom very simple just plug the main plug into the frst ecu and then connect all the sensors etc up.
deffo use a frst engine as that has the crank sensor.
