iv got a mk6 fiesta and am tryin to find out about gettin a the focus rs engine transplanted into it, was wonderin if anyone would have any ideas on cost ect for me thanks

yer, here s one, save up a million pound then try and find one, then considder putting it in, to be honest pal your after a ghost ship on a foggy day with no sea map s or even a boat, or no arms or legs to swim, try another project.

in other words, rockin horse poo.

I dont think u stand a chance of findin a Foci RS engine mate,and even if you do get one,the conversion would be uber expensive!

i think it is possible as have read on varies links thats it can be done or has bin it is from a forum is well dated (2003)see:
http://www.fiestaturbo.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=88196&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=35
it says 7k but is up in edinbough and as i said old so was curies as to a realistic price now.
would be greatful for any help
thanks

ask them then, do you have 5k knockin round

Its been done! The guy did have pics and vids up on that link u gave but they are no longer working (the site obviously doesnt re-host 4 U like CW)

No matter what it costs dont be put off by where it is. Your willin to spend 5k+ on the job but ur put off by a 250 mile journey and a 30 pound train fare home?????? And your gettin the best workmanship ever if you go to pumaspeed (the top ford tuners ive heard of)

Thing is, your gonna need huge brakes front and rear,pretty much all the chassis will need seem-welding or the chassis may buckle in the middle as it flexes under acceleration.And the engine bay needs doin too.I doubt this will be included in the price but they will recommend it as the next job.when u plannin to do it?

Hayles85 - Bout time you posted something up!
(This is emmas bf btw)

Your looking at mega money to stick this in like I told ya - you need a front end of a focus RS and considering they dont make em anymore and limited, there expensive. Iv been trying to get hold of some bits and the guys i know wants £200 just for the rear beam!

If i think on ill do some digging around but if your after peformance then your best off buying a performance car to start off with mate, remember the golden rule: 'Theres no replacement for displacement' in lame terms bigger is usually better

tar daz and scoop daz wot do you mean ill need the front end

Engine, gearbox, wiringloom, ECU, driveshafts, struts etc Basicly a full frontend of a Focus RS. You may find u can get away with certain parts but BARE minimum would be engine, box and loom.

Mega expensive and to many its just a dream.

i'd go for a focus st170 engine

its far too ambitious, if u still want 2 keep ur fiesta 4 looks, but u want better performance go 4 the fiesta st

Sounds possible from the above, but also sounds ****ing expensive, when there's nowt wrong with the RS Turbo engines.

Miek raises the best point.

Conclusion is-it is possible.....but only do it if you have money to burn

Id recommend gettin an RST 1.6 and fully workin that, for 3k you cud have it in and modified to 240BHP+ with the brakes and suspension worked as well for that money.

yes i see your points as the price on th forum i put the link now seems unrealistic as puma build have said it would be the better part of 14 k now to doso am lookin into other possibilities in terms of the engine any more ideas

Anything will go in just depends on the amount of cash you have - do you really want a 13year old RST engine in a new fiesta?

Ideally go for a duratec, somethin like a 1.6 will be easier and cheaper. Focus RS engine is a dream, same as ST170 engine.

If you are insistant you want mega bhp then you should have opted for a ST150, cos unfortunetly you wont see decent bhp gains with little engines.

Save ya money and invest in some Nitrous Oxide, you can remove it once the car is no more and add it to your next one

Theres another good point, you have just shelled out for a brand new car and your gonna swap out the 4 grand engine (thats about how much you paid for the engine alone) for a really old cheap one

Sell your car and get a faster one, job done

Here you go fellas. Its been done, and its for sale.

Advice originally from adam

sell up and get a Honda Prelude for around 2.2i VTI VTEC for £2.5k

0-60 of low 6's and a much better car than a fiesta, for fiesta money and will be worth not much less than what you bought it for in a few years time.

save up and buy a actual focus rs

simple

I know a guy selling an RS engines complete with EVERY part needed to fit it into a Mk6 like tanks rads coolers mounts looms clocks ecu shafts etc.....300bhp for £6.5K

Then you need someone to fit it all, and map it so expect another few grand!
