Hi, Does anyone know if the ib5 gearbox fitted to this model is the same as fiesta/escorts.

Also, will the rs turbo fit this box ?

What's the max torque/bhp a standard ib5 can deal with.

Thanks
Simon

 

ive seen both (got yours as a spare) but the only diffrence ive seen between them is the focus ib5 is cable oprated from the front of the box and the fiesta ib5 is rod oprated from the bottom rear of the box. So it would take abit of work fitting a fiesta ib5 into a focus.

im gussing you mean will the diff out of the rs turbo fit into the focus ib5, well i really dont know im going to try my self some time in the furture as i belive it should but i dont know anyone thats done it to a cable box.

you can put over 200 though them.

 

Thanks mate.
Does anyone know what the gear ratios are in the different focus ib5's - petrol diesel etc. ?

I believe they are all interchangeable.

Are fiesta and escort gears compatible with the focus ib5 variant ?
