its a mk1 2.0 mondeo zetec turbo by the way.
@ pdfbt40 - have you got any pics of the focus RS conversion in your mondeo? i would be very interested to see it. and did it go straight onto the mondeo engine mounts, what intercooler have you used, what management, and how did you overcome the engine bay wiring loom stuff?
I don't know what the set-up height is of the manual release so don't know if an adaptor could be used with a hydraulic clutch to keep the gearbox.
The 2.0l Zetec flywheel has gone through several FINIS numbers, but each change has been a 'one for one replacement'. The current one (well 18 months ago) was 1037635.
You'd have to change the pedal box. The clutch pedal has to push the master cylinder instead pulling the cable. I don't know, but the hydraulic one (from a MK2 ?) might be a fairly easy mod.
When I sourced my Mondeo as a 'hack', I passed on quite a few as I wanted one after May '98 as all my bits and pieces are 'blacktop'/focus and I was expecting to possibly change the engine or do some mild uprating...I just got carried away.
Yes, because of that, it just dropped onto the same engine mount. I had to leave off the front torque restrictor, so have bodged a stiffened rear one currently. The RS waterpump had to be swapped for a standard one as the a/c compressor was bigger, so a standard PAS pump bracket had to be used to get the belt tension correct.
The EEC-V has several spare pins in the connector (104 pin). I added a Focus cylinder head temperature sensor, and there is an AIT in the TB. So wiring was added for those, and some more for WB, AMAL, and water injection as extra sockets in the connector. Then I made a splice box in an old EEC-V case/connector to the EEC-V and a Megasquirt, pity there isn't a PCB for that yet.
IC is just a cheap Far East one off Ebay, the expensive bit was the tube and silicon to pipe it.
I have to admit that although the main fuel mapping was easy, all the 'minor' functions such as ASE and ACC/DECC are still giving me grief.
I'm not a big visual recorder I'm afraid, but you welcome to look around those I was forced to take by 'friends'.
