RS MK3 (Bespoke Build) Crate Engine – Fully Forged, Closed Deck, Long Block Package
If you own a Focus RS Mk3, you’ll know the 2.3 engine has its weak points, and its lack of internal strength needs addressing sooner rather than later. Forging is the simplest and most effective solution, but our Bespoke Fully Forged, Closed Deck, Long Block Package goes further — it’s a step above standard forging kits, offering reliability well over 800BHP+ when the necessary parts are upgraded.
This is the build-your-own alternative for RS MK3 owners who want more than an off-the-shelf replacement. Starting from the same fully forged, 2.0L closed-deck long block base, this crate engine lets you spec it to your exact needs — whether that’s higher power, track readiness, or a tailored performance setup. It’s a supply-only package, shipped securely in a wooden crate, giving you the foundation to create a stronger, more capable, fully customised engine.
We get it — for some customers, when building a high-performance engine – You want:
-
Reliability without compromise
-
Control over the components you choose
-
An engine that fits your goals, not just a “one-size-fits-all” build
The base-package comes with the essentials spec’d for reliability but with drop-down menus let you upgrade components to match your performance goals. A fully built bespoke engine by RS engine building specialists, ready to ship worldwide.
