been thinking while i was at work about a box for the S2,

Since you can use a st170 block for a zvh (i think) a standard s2 box bolts on to that so can a st170 box bolt on to the standard 1600 block??

Any help would be gr8.

 

Yes but a hell of a lot of work is needed like
Custom drive shafts
Custom flywheel
Hydraulic clutch conversion
Mounting points

are just a few of the mods needed

 

Would be cool to have a 6 speed box in a S2 tho! Do it!

 

any info where youve seen this used on a zetec bottom end?

 

A lad on Sorted-Orions has do this conversion AKA Freak power he runs a company called ALD

 

ST box is cable operated, so getting it to work would be a bastard! Also the box i designed to be used with a high revving engine, so it may not work well in a turbo if you do get it to fit.

 

ya wanna sort the rest of the car before ya start thinking of gearboxes
cant beleeve you sold the cossi to get a landrover

 

cossie was dead tho found a few more big problems with it.

 

i heard jamsport can do the conversion for Ł1800

 

turboboss Who built your engine, thats some impressive figure's you've got there!

 

ST1170 is a duratec, not zetec. The 6speed box is quite weak, which is why it wasnt used in Focus RS

 

But then again the ST170 Duratec is a Zetec. Just like the Focus RS Duratec-badges Zetec.

 

Not the best for a turbo engine's

Not the best ratio's

I wouldn't know what it would be like on a high revving zetec engine?

 

So which is it? Zetec or Duratec, I thought the same as Rick, Duratec myself!

 

duratec badged zetec

 

Not true. The ST170 box has a higher torque rating than the MTX75 box.

Edit: http://www.getrag-ford.de/daten/MMT6_E.PDF

IB5 = 168Nm
MTX75 = 375Nm
MMT6 = 450Nm

 

Whats an IB5 box?

 

FWD fords i.e RST's...come on dan thought u would have known that! PMSL

bassboy

 

aye but wots the crack with the pimp mobile??

 

Not in RSTs. IB5 is the latest 93 or 95 forward standard duty FWD gearbox. Quite similar appearance than the older BC gearbox found in RSTs as well.

 

whats a good strong box to add the thats not gonna be a bastard to fit?

 

lol, the std one. All others are a pain.

 

go to the gearbox man

fukin quality prices

i stil need to get mine sorted

 

im gonna be using a st170 box on my duratec...loads of hassle to come
