escort rs turbo engines in OSF

[stevepeanut]

not really a transplant question, just curious, how come I've never seen an OSF with the RS turbo lump in?

[escort new boy]

mk1 fiesta

Maybe because it's a FWD CVH and there are better ways of getting the same (and more) power?

Think that abouts sums it up

[ASBO CAPRI]

I've seen one in a 100E

[285Andy]

here's mine in a 100e.. not MFI though. its fiesta rs turbo power and also in 1.8 zvh form.

 

waste of time??? maybe to you. not for me though. of course theres better ways to power but i aint got that sort of money so this is just perfect for me and so much more scope for future upgrades. it goes like a train and snakes the car up in 3rd gear without much hassle and not even flooring the throttle either

 

i love it

 

as always though, each to there own

 

[YOUNGY]

when i used 2 have rst,s every time i cained it, it broke

[V6MAT]

there is a 100e over here with one!

[NeilT]

got a mate with one a 100e van most admit it was quite a bit of effort to get it all working good.

 

But its a nice little twist i think some thing a bit different

[BIG G]

great engine the cvh i had 200 hp and no hassles for 3 years thrashing

[Billy_smith]

my dads got a 2.1 ZVH sitting there for his cortina, its got a nice tr34 hanging off it aswell

[over_head_cam]

It would appear that the ZVH is a good option. looks cool in the 100e

 

I reckon as a cheap upgrade it's got to be a winner? No?

[mk1mexico]

I think the main problem in RWD format, especially in escorts mk1/2, would be the bulkhead clearance for the distributor and the turbo.

[Billy_smith]

hes planning to cut the bulk head right back and use a mini heater just to clear the screen, and no i dont beleive a ZVH is very cheap at all. my dads ran 195 break oon the rolling road with the boost down sand a small turbo at 7psi so its got alot more to come should be fun

[tarmacghost]

heres mine ,was in classic ford march 2002

The turbo CVH is one of the cheaper ways to get 200bhp.

My mate has a home built RS Turbo engine rolling roaded at 200 bhp. Didn`t cost much to achieve either.

Standard valves bit of home porting, piper 285 cam and a bigger intercooler. There may have been more to it than that but not much.

above with an actuator and to help it a hybrid t3 and a remap and theres an easy 200bhp to be had.
