turbo`d rs2000

[87cos]

did janspeed ever do a turbo conversion for the rs2000.was told there was a janspeed turbo`d rs not far from me last night..stu

[bortaf]

they did pinto capris and cortinas so i guess there must have been some RSs
only reason not to would be under bonnet space or heat ?

was going to buy a twin turbo`d sd1 rover years ago

There is a genuine Mk2 Janspeed turbo in NZ in black.

Guy that went to c&e rsoc years ago had one on his car when he got it

Found this lurking in the top drawer circa early 80s
no mention of the RS2000 or pics in the brochure, but kits available as said for OHC

[87cos]

probably was`nt some kind of option new then dave,owner would have to have the kit fitted himself.

bill it was`nt white by any chance?sure the guy that told me about it said it was white.

That is a very rare turbo Gaz, well worth holding onto as part of your cars history.

Janspeed did offer a bolt on kit as far as I am aware, but one of the first to turbo an Escort was Roger Works in 1975 when they turbo'd a brand new mk1 RS2000. It was on the cover of Motor magazine in Aug '76.

I have had 2 with turbo's, 1 with the S.U. set up and the other I think was homemade with sierra injection, but was very effective in a crude sort of way.
