anyone know what would actually be involved in doing this? obviously ignoring the bolting up issue.

say for example i had the casing modified to bolt to the mondeo 4x4 box,and had the shafts splines to fit into the evo transfer box, what else would need to be considered? I would also run evo rear setup with modded prop.............

any ideas/ info would be a great help...

you would no doubt need to mod or adapt a flywheel, clutch, release bearing plus modifications to the body for mountings and brackets etc... a big job but not the end of the world as anything is possible if your willing to spend

why a modified clutch, mounts etc????? would still be using the mondeo box, just the evo transfer box, prop and rear diff...

its just a matter of having it line up centre with the car for themiddle prop, custom drive shafts, and obviously how it will mount to the gearbox

I dont think you would be able to do it, the EVO set up is very complex and very clever, get yourself a schematic and have a look.

Why use an Evo one? Sounds like you're making it a lot harder for yourself than it needs to be.

I have looked into this and when my box goes boom i will be changing to this setup. side by side mondeo 4x4 / evo box's they are so very similar.

Because a ford one is shite. Why chuck loads of money at something thats always gonna be crap. If evos can take it, then my light 350bhp mk1 fiesta wont put any stress on it..


Ive looked into uprating the mondeo unit, and although it can be uprated, its design still isnt great. Quaife also do not do diffs for either end of the mondeo which is a problem so it seems pointless looking at modding the transfer box now as the box still wont have a diff.

So now will look into cuatom behousings or spacer plates to fit either full running gear inc box out of either evo stuff or audi tt. TT seems a better option

Ive got an mtx box in my mk1 fez so would be better to go with the mondeo stuff but its just not reliable enough and will never be proper 4wd. Even the fact the mondeo puts 60% power to the front which would be better i think for the mk1, i just dont want to throw money at something that could still break when used in anger.

The Mondeo drivetrain (gearbox ecxluded) was always a lot stronger than the RS2000 stuff. Do the Mondeo transfer boxes break as well then?

weeman84

From what ive been told yes. They are better than the rs 2000 stuff but still small. Could improve them with better metal materials, and running a diff cooler setup as they hold very little oil so not only will it keep the oil cooler which overheating seems to cause most failures but it will also increase oil capacity. Not cheap for this little lot and the design still isnt great so can only be uprated so far. And as meantioned you cannot get quaife diffs for either the front or back...

Easiest way by a mile would be to simply fit the evo engine and gearbox as well.

Do what chip says, its a good idea.

i mst of re rea it wron as i thought u were on about just using the transfer box and rear diff off an evo

but now reading what you want your going to have tolook into custom flywheels, and cevo clutches aswell as hydraulic clutch set up for an evo gearbpx, custom bell housing etc etc

id do what chip says just fit the evo lump aswell, more tunable, plenty power in stock form aswell

Just get rid of the rep mobile and buy a evo

gjh

Or do a Hadland and fit cossie running gear and embarras supercars with it, especially if its snot green.

weeman84

Rep mobile?? Its in a mk1 fiesta... Not a mondeo.
As for fitting the engine as well .... I know that would be easier, but i want to keep the engine ford.

If i wereto change the lot i would go 20v turbo over evo as its cheaper and easy to drag 400bhp out of and in a car that is gonna weigh about 740kgs will be fast enough...
