Ford Fiesta RS Turbo????

Will a Ford Fiesta RS Turbo Exhaust Manifold fit on a 1.9. I found it on ebay.

I'am not 100% sure it will, I have heard of some other ppl thinking it would, but there was some thing different about the shape of the openings.
But if you find a Escort RS mani it will. (or US 84-85 1.6 T)

Do you think I should bid on it??

[jeffescortlx]

Nope, unless its only 10 bucks or somthing, but more than likely its coming from the United Kindom, so shipping would be high.
There is other Turbo manifolds out there, you just have to keep on looking. The only two mani's that will bolt up are the 84-85 1.6's and UK Escort RS. Call around to junk yards, online junkyards, check ALL the Escort Forums and keep on checking ebay.

Thanks, I know I will eventually come across one.

What year was the Fiesta it was off an which year was the Escort. The only RS Escorts I know of are the British models of about 87-89. The Fiesta and British Escorts have very few interchangable parts- yet alone the Fiesta and US Market Escort

Jimster, in the escort forum.

when you say 1.9, do you mean the CVH (over head cam) becaust the fiesta RS turbo is a 1.6 CVH but we can buy 1.9 CVH's here (imported in from US) and fit them in our cars, so i assume the manifold would fit. question is, is your turbo the same as the UK/euro RS turbo fiesta's? i have a UK escort but i have a US spec turbo conversion so so things are interchangable. its just a question of what is!!
i don't know exactly what is but are there 1.9 turbos escorts in the states? are you planning on a conversion? if yes, then probably the manifold would be a good buy, but then why not buy the lot, manifold, turbo, ecu, loom, etc. if there's no conversions as such in the US then importing everything you need from a helpful guy in the UK then you'd have a rapid escort indeed!

Here is the States, we have had a 1.6 turbo , 1.9 and 2.0 N/A. All share the same head and exsahst gasket.
The Escort RS mani will fit all of these.
I my self am going to swap in a 2.0 in place of my 1.9 and use a US spec 1.6 turbo setup. I should have a easy 175 hp.
