Difference between S2 and RS2

[aRtiS]

It would be interesting to get to know all differences between those cars meaning not only engine (turbo, EM, IM) but also suspension and so on.

Hope to get full list of dissimilar things.

"waterpump rods/pistons bearings"

different?!?!
I'm not quite sure...

as much as I know:
MAF, IC, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, CATs, fuel pump, front stabilizer and as I have found: ""and also lucrication system was uprated" ?!?

[lind4hl]

the waterpump has 1 less or more blade i think, so it flush away water quicker the bearings are coated

and yes of course all the things you added

1 less, and because that, it moves more quickly

Other things yes and someones I don´t know the meaning

The rods and pistons are the same on all the 5cyl S and RS2. I have also always heard that the RS2 rods and pistons are different but after checking ETKA and the the parts supplier i found it to be exactly the same.( same part numbers)

[lind4hl]

thanks for the info norweiganred, but bearings still diffrent huh?

[aRtiS]

Didn't know about the water pump, part code is different, one blade less? ok.
Bearings.. you mean wheel bearings?

[lind4hl]

no the bearings for the rods

[urquattro-island]

i

think that should read 1 tooth less, the wheel on the timing belt is smaller, thats why it turns faster. And the bearings are different as there are purple upper/big ends.
