    RVR is front wheel drive. diesel with transverse engine is quite difficult to find.

    For clarification, anu bang gusto engine swap?

    Iba kasi yung i-convert mo yung engine from gas to diesel. This is similar to converting gas engine to LPG which common.
    But gasoline to diesel is very impractical.

    So I am assuming engine swap lang ang gusto.

    UP.UP.UP. I own an escape which was swapped from V6 to CD20 (standard, crappy engine). Would it make sense or better if the engine be swapped again to a CD20T (Turbo)? Would it make any difference performance wise?

    sorry, Ford Escape?

    I recommend a bigger engine.

    If you can put the Ranger's turbo diesel engine on an Escape, that would be great. Or you can consider the 2.0L turbo diesel engine used on the older Focus TDCi.

    However, you need to make sure that the tranny is compatible or you have to do a tranny swap also.

    Mukhang mahal po masyado yun sir. Nabasa ko kasi na either Mazda or yung CD20 nga. May nakakaalam ba kung malaki ang diperensya ng takbo ng CD20 at CD20T and kung kaya ba ng Turbo ang body ng escape?
