Hi everyone. Id like some advice from you guys regarding an rs turbo project i have in mind. The aims are relatively simple. To build a crazy pocket rocket for a bit of fun.

Im thinking of getting say a 90 plate s2 model and have it totally stripped down dealing with the bodywork first. I did consider the wrx or sti classic project but the costs for this are still massively high, i think the subaru industry is creaming the popularity for all its worth.

I am aware that power engineering used to do a zetec turbo conversion called stage 2, are they still around for this ?

I have set aside a budget of around 4 k excluding the cost of the car, so what would u fellas advise.

I think around 250 bhp is what im aiming for on this.

V3 STI

Take it to Harvey Gibbs (SCS Peterborough) and get him to build you an engine thats what i did , i managed to get 240 bhp out of a 1.6 still using the standard fueling system , was one of the most fun and fastest cars i owned.
Or or give Christian Major a ring at APT Norwich.

Thanks for the advice mate, appreciate it. I rang power engineering but there not undertaking the system 2 conversions anymore so will give these lads a shout. im stuck in between modding this rs or taking it a step further with my scoob. I do think that per pound the rs is better value and more fun to modify.
