Somehow I have ended up with a Mondeo 2.5 V6 Ghia X which I might use as a cheapo track toy and/or run about.

Just need a simple answer really, apart from the obvious engine managment changes, what is needed to get these to ST24 power levels by exchanging parts or is it a waste of time ?

I know nothing about these engines and assume they are pretty much the same so any help appreciated

 

I'm 99% sure that they're the same as the ST24 mate... its only the ST200 that came with different bits and higher power.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Yep, about 160odd bhp. Fit ST200 bits for an extra 20-30 or so bhp - Upper and lower inlet manifolds, cams, throttle body and air filter assembly. A remap would then be a wise idea.

Unless you get a bargain that little lot will work out to be several hundred quid and a lot of aggro.

 

Oh I see, perhaps I meant ST200 then ??

I told you I knew nothing about these engines..

 

Cheers Dan.

The car cost me £250.
Its in fairly good condition except the exhaust and brakes and all the toys work !!

I will get some prices and see if its worth it.

Tell you what, how about a feature where you fund the mods...
How about bolting a T4 and a set of bigger injectors to it and see how much power we can make before it shits itself..LOL


God I miss my cossie

 

Tbh mate if it's a track tool or daily I really wouldn't bother for the additional expense.as it's a ghia x there'll be tons of crap you can remove to save weight and perhaps an exhaust/filter little remap and you'll have a tasty old tool.

I had a mk1 Mondeo ghia estate and it went really well,I loved the motor.

 

Yes it is a ghia X and you are right about the weight but I am power hungry after having cossies..lol

 

Is it that black saloon that was for sale on Broadway?

 

No it was an auction jobbie.. Proper bargain just over 100k miles and the timing chain has just been replaced !

 

Don't often need to change the chain. What about the clutch? Finger's crossed that that's fine!

 

Clutch seems to be ok. I can spin the wheels if I dip it with the TC turned off. LOL

I hate FWD

 

Don't! Believe me you don't want the clutch to go!

 

Yeah just been looking under the bonnet and it looks like a proper chore to change.
Cant be much worse than doing a 4x4 cossie engine out without an engine hoist as I have done that many times..LOL
