Well i was away with work for nearly six months of last year so saved up a load of cash for one reason to up the power on the 4x4.
I was thinking throttle bodies but decided against it. I phoned Lee at Devil developments in west sussex and had a chat with him and came up with a plan as well as chatting with a few members on another site i visit. I wanted what ever was done to look as if it was supposed to be there and as if ford had done it. Sort of standard modified if that makes sense.I dropped the car off to Lee on the 10th of october and picked it up this morning and to say i am pleased is an understatement
The old engine was removed


Then a car was sourced that had the engine i wanted.

And was then fitted to the 4x4





To keep the temps down an uprated charge cooler rad was fitted and it is massive but it fills the gap in the bumper nicely and does not look over the top and still looks discret.Also 2 uprated fans were fitted to the main rad, you can just see them in the pic below.



Lee also took a few pictures for his website and he even washed it for me so it looked nice when i went to collect it.





I am really pleased with how it has turned out the 4 hour drive home was fantastic the car pulls like a train sounds sweet and i didn't have the radio on once on the way home as i could listen to the sound it makes all day long. it has the standard recirculating dump vale on i was going to get another one but it sounds so nice as it is i am not going to bother.
It wasn't a direct fit the charge cooler needed to be modified to fit it needed a mk2 mondeo engine mount also and the throttle body elbow had to be extended by 3 inches as the charge cooler was in a different position. It had a new cam belt kit fitted a ap racing organic clutch a mongoose de cat pipe and a massive K and N cone filter, it came with the blue rouse motor sport boost hoses also had the air tec uprated charge cooler rad. Now the original plan was to use the focus rs ecu but it is so deep wired into the car it would have needed the whole floor loom and clocks so Lee opted for KMS ecu which also came with wide band lambda and an in car digital display which gives the air fuel ratio boost pressure and air inlet temp. it is running 1 bar of boost.
So there you have it a mk1 rs focus powered 4x4. A first i think. I am like a dog with 2 dicks at the moment i can't keep the smile off my face.
