focus rs engine
jonesier1 - 1/5/09 at 08:05 PM

i have a focus rs at work needing a new engine due to incorrect mapping and cyl 2,3 with damaged pistons.the rest is fine (block,bores etc)just a few marks in the combustion area of the head on those cylinders.replacement is costing just over 2k. (customers request) plus labour.Any interest in the old unit?

what would it come with (turbo, manifolds etc?)


jonesier1 - 1/5/09 at 08:25 PM

no its head,cams and block complete with internals plus sump.Two pistons req and maybe a light skim on the head and away you go a low compression zetec ready to take 300 bhp+

Indeed it would. Some hint about the likely price would too.

Thats funny, my father had a st170 (4pot) and now has an RS which is a 5 pot volvo lump?


jonesier1 - 3/5/09 at 08:05 AM

im in cornwall near plymouth.its a 4cyl zetec.as for cost im not sure,just seeing if there is any interest before i send the old unit back or pay the surcharge and keep it.its only the later st and the new rs that use the 5cyl volvo lump.

ST as in Focus ST not Focus ST170 which was a tuned zetec. The ST has a similar 5 pot volvo engine as the new RS.

The old RS was a 4 pot turbo, new one is now 5 pot.

Confusing?
