Has anyone modified the ST225 to 4WD? I know the WRC focus has a 2.0L engine. But can the ST225 be converted to 4WD?

 

Didn't Performance Ford feature one a few years ago? Think it had been converted to LPG as well

 

Was that with the ST225 engine? I am wondering if I can convert my ST to 4WD.

 

ithink wolf in germany do a convertion mate, there was a focus rs in p/ford mag afew mths back what had been converted, they use the running gear off a ford kuga.

 

Yeah it's a ford kuga gearbox and back end, also remember seeing one done in Norway that used Volvo 4wd system

 

Yeah guys thanks alot for the info. I will look into it.

 

They used a modified rs gearbox. Think it had been modified to take a transfer box. Then as you say. A Kuga rear end. Only difference is the back wheels sit 3mm further forward than standard. Apparently the kuga and focus are the same floorpan

 

would imagine the Kuga will the base in the future when they are cheap, or even some volvos. people would pay silly amounts for an xr4x4 and now they cost pennies the running gear is the perfect platform to put in a p100.
