Hi everyone :wave:

 

After much thinking I`m looking to convert my mk4 to a turbo beast sleeper car. :wink:

 

Unfortunatly I`m not having any luck spoke to a few company`s not been called back,

 

But I spoke to jam sport northampton for a 2100cc turbo it`s roughly £3000 to £4000.

 

also spoke to rsturbos in bournemouth i think a ford spares and breakers from £2000 to roughly £3000 they can fit a full focus st170 conversion or a full focus rs conversion. (which from the cheeky email they seriously want to do!! )

 

I`m seriously thinking about the rsturbo conversion or does anyone know of someone relatively close to sheffield who can do this full conversion with everything in.

 

the reason is i want it doing properly if you know what I mean I`m mechanically minded but doing the engine myself maybe a bit tricky.

 

PLEASE HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS :taz:

 

 

CHEERS

go for the focus rs mate, that will be a seriously one of a kind car then, poss even worth a feature in fast ford or performance ford

cheers for the reply markeyboy

 

I`m not after a mag slot just a sleeper car one that looks slightly altered on the outside to the untrained eye a xr3i cabby with stickers.

 

But underneath a complete animal ready to shock unsuspecting people.

hi there ... well it you can get a focus rs conversion done for 2k i would recomend you go with it .....

 

a st170 is a nice conversion but seeing as a 1.8 zetec thats been played with a little will put out 170bhp i thing a st enginge would be a wast of cash .......but would look good

 

things you need to ask your self ......

 

do you want a turbo ??

 

how much do you want to spend .... on engine brakes and suspention ........

 

is the car used everyday ?

 

do you drive on high rpm ie hold the gears ... to 6k on most gear changes ?

 

theres a lot of people on that will give advice on engine conversions lol .........

 

have you thought about the new 2.5 5 cilinder turbo engine out the focus ........ that would also be a nice conversion

 

good luck
