use the mtx75 box mate, a far better box, people pay big money to get these fitted into rs turbos lol, you may have to use the zetec clutch poss to do so? aparently these are good for 350bhp

mozwang

nice one your a star mate keep you eyes open for when i post some think else on hear you sound like you know what your talking about. is the box a straight fit on to the cvh bottom end then.

thanks.

Turbo Zetec

yes, cvh and zetec share the same bellhousing bolt pattern. You'll probably have to play about with the clutch to get one to fit though. You might get away with using the zetec plate and cover on the cvh flywheel if it will fit.

mozwang

thank you mate grate help. im guessing that the engine mounts will fit as the gear box mounts will be the same if i use the mtx75 box. and i guess i use the mtx drive shafts to.

if you have a mtx set up now id stick with the whole set up i.e mounts etc, then use a pinto clutch i believe which will work with the cvh flywheel, best to double check though

mozwang

cool thanks you not think the clutch of the fiesta or my zetec will fit then. do you know were i can find out about the pinto clutch.

the input shafts is a different size i believe therefore the clutch wont work

mozwang

so shall i look for a clutch for a 1.6 pinto or 1.8 then.

im not clued up on pintos tbh but would imagine they're the same?

Šhatter Box

your all forgetting the mtx gear box is 240mm if you want to use the box you will need use the zetec flywheel for the pick up for cps.

mozwang

ok so dose the zetec fly wheel fit on the cvh engine with no probs? and do i use the knock senior out the zetec. if i all so have to use the zetec fly wheel that means i can use a zetec clutch yeah.

thanks.

Didnt they do a 1600 efi is the mark 5 escort. A 1600 sport or something. Cant you use some parts off of one of those

Ie engine mounts, What gearbox did they run. Were they a mtx ?

Šhatter Box

1600 cvh in the mk5 and late mk6 was not mtx it was all on ib5 box

CosworthGuy

Couldnt he use the shafts from that and engine mounting then use a rst box so he has the lsd in there? Suppose it depends what power is wanted as to what gear box to use

mozwang

whill the rst box bolt in to a mk5 escort then.
