RS2000 camshafts to 2.3 16V

Anyone done that conversion? Stock RS2000 camshafts -> 2.3 16V Scorpio
Easy upgrade and worth the price?  Any power gain? Some people say that 25hp gain can be expected with only that
http://www.crustworld.co.uk/2_3hybrid.php
"Escort RS2000 owners are regularly seeing close to 200bhp from naturally-aspirated 2.3 engines with the use of the RS camshafts, engine management system and an uprated fuel pressure regulator."

Power gain, yes - the 2300 cam profiles are very mild (spelt N-A-F-F) so you'll get a noticable boost from the RS items - dont pay too much though as they arent special items lol - they're the same cams as fitted to the 2.0 16v scorp models  .
2300 also suffers badly from a lower compression ratio than the 2.0 16v - hence produced a relatively feeble 140bhp. With the 2.0 compresion ratio and cams, output would be much closer to 170+ bhp  - not what ford wanted when they were trying to push cossies out the door for 10 grand more

I've looked at various options for the 16v engines and from what I've read it looks like one way to increase power is to use:
2.0 head, cams, sump, flywheel, inlet manifold
2.3 block, crank and pistons
I'm not sure what the compression ratio would be with the 2.0 head on the 2.3 block, but it would be higher than 10:1
I don't know if you would need the RS2000 higher flowing injectors or whether the 2.0 ECU would handle the changes, unmodified

Think its the pistons that are at fault on the 2300 - not flat tops.
All the above will give a healthy increase in power tho
I bought a set of RS2K cams from ebay for a tenner

In the link to yatego I once posted it says in German the 1662847 is for 2.0 DOHC 100 kW / 136 PS and 2.3 Ltr. DOHC 107 kW / 145 PS.
Wasn't there an 8 valve 2.0? guess the first one goes to that.

Should do - the head castings for the 2.0 and 2.3 are the same.

i believe its a T40 but could be a T35
i did the 2.0 top end on a 2.3 conversion a while ago, made the car much more fun, also fitted the 2.0's intake system and throttle body (overall has a larger bore then the2.3's)
running the rs2000 ecu will give a bit more performance as the 2.3's was designed for comfort and cruising, were as the escorts was designed to be racy

But fitting rs2000 ecu to scorpio is not possible, right?

it is but you need to leave the 2.3's ecu in in order to keep the pats happy then you need a non pats ecu off a rs2000 and splice it into the loom to run the engine
