been done with a 2.1 ZVH T34'd turbo, using the mondeo 4x4 gear transmission, done by a company called power crazy i think, was a white fiesta

depends what engine you want aswell, do you wanna use a T5 type box so the engine is inline or use a MTX75 type box with 4x4 transmission so the engine stays transverse?


so hard to say really, as both ways will still need body mods ( Transmission tunnel made up )


PM BROM@ZOO or JAMSPORT DAN for your requirements, im sure they can help

I'm building a vectra 4x4 using cavalier/calibra system atm but first contemplated doing a 4x4 fiesta using mondeo 4x4 running gear, as the engine is transverse so helps with utilising space and not having to cut huge holes in the floor and mounts etc for gearbox etc....

you only need two wires from the 5 pin pressure switch via a relay to control the pump

if you look at the switch with 3 pins being on the bottom i'm sure its top left and bottom left that make and break connection for pressure switch
