Everything you need to know ^^^^^^^^^ You actually can't do it QLD, as the working for it is original vehicle weight times 2.5 = max engine size in cc for a turbo/supercharged replacement engine. The rotory equivalence is capacity times 2. so a 13B is a effectively 2600cc. the escort mk2 is listed as 909kg times 2.5 = 2272cc max engine size if turbo/supercharged |

If you could be bothered to read the link I posted you wouldn't need to ask that question.
For N/A engine swaps it original weight x 3 = engine cc. Which is 2727cc max engine size for an N/A egnine swap. Why you would want to ruin an escort by putting rotary engine in it I will never understand. Your other thread you mentioned SR20 and FJ20. CA18 will fit pretty easy and make power then you ever put through an escort leaf spring rear end. |

Why not put a Ford Mondeo 2 litre EFI Zetec engine into it?

I'm currently doing a MK1 and have been looking into which engines will fit. A Zetec will bolt directly to a pinto 2L clutch and box, but you are best doing what I am and moving all the brakes under the dash for room in the engine bay (WRC pedal set from UK = Ebay, about $400 with master's for a cable clutch). I've lost the link I had, but there is a place here in Australia that can supply mounts etc for turning zetec north/south. Zetec's are just a new version of the old lotus 2L, and easily turbo'd. (can always rego it before you turbo it if worried)

Any thoughts about a bp turbo from a laser or an mx5. parts are pretty easy to get and they will make decent power
