I am

is it feasable ?

[~nomad~]

i was seriously considering it, the wiring is near impossible. Unless you go custom management. Problem is that the Focus ecu looks for everything and if half the loom is missing it just wont work. You would be looking at big money. Other than that the engine is basically zetec so will physically go in the engine bay

Any idea how much the engine would cost ?

I'm gonna look into this i think, seems a better option over a 2.0l mondeo engine

Hi,

As far as I know the ST170 uses something like "black oak" management system, which only controls the fuel/firing and has seperate control for other stuff (such as headlights, air con, etc).

Unlike other ECC-V Focus.

Don't quote me though

Wouldnt it be like MMo's car, needing custom engine mounts etc?
I keep thinkin about goin for the black top zetec when i do a transplant.

there has been one for sale for ages in forsale

this question has also been disscussed in great detail

all you goto do is search

bloody scooby owners

oh yea and new mounts will need to be fabricated


if you do try this i wouldnt mind giving you a hand

[Project_XR2i_Trackcar]

bloody scooby owners

hehehehe

[FezzR]

the main consideration is the management as said, if your gonna go aftermarket, then it will need to be able to control the VVT
i dont know which can or cant, but you`ll probably be looking at similar money you spend on the scoob

you will probably find a 2.0 (mondeo) turbo will be more cost effective

[Project_XR2i_Trackcar]

any ideas how much that would cost then


the mondeo 2.0l turbo that is

[javablu]

Think it's something like 11k for a 400bhp one.. something like that anyway/

[Max M4X WW]

******* ****!!

[dee 2i]

cant you just get a 2ltr mondeo engine then convert it to a turbo, wouldn't that be alot less than 11k

[Project_XR2i_Trackcar]

11k

Feck that

I'm talkin £500 - £1k max

[FezzR]

11k you would be paying someone like Fiesta frenzy to build you one from all brand new parts etc

if you do it yourself you could prob do one for about 2k

170 engine will prob be more than that all in

straight 2.0l 130 out the box, prob about 500-750 if you manage to get it all cheap and good condition



PS all above are my guesses never done any of them myself

[thehuzman]

Ian howell aint doing taking any engines on at the mo as he has his hands full. For the budget you specified you are not going to have a lot left over after the ST170 lump to get it in the car...
