Doing a focus rs engine conversion on a standard focus but little confused over the o/s driveshaft bracket! Told to use 2.0/ST170 bracket which then doesnt bolt up properly with the oil feed on the rs block =/

 

Which driveshafts and gearbox are you using?

 

The RS MTX75 box, and i have box's full of shafts so was using either the 2.0 standard shafts or the TDCI diesel shafts,

Non of the focus shafts including the st170 use the smaller bearing like the RS or have the same size bearing cups!

I know that the mk3 mondeo diesel use the same shafts as the RS although they will be too long just like the FRS shafts are for the standard focus track!

 

could they be mixed and matched? or does the frs have a unique bearing carrier?

 

yeah tried that with all the shafts i;ve got bearings are different. Just need to see how people have mounted that bracket!

 

anybody have any idea on this ?? as very stuck myself, do I use standard 2.0 bearing carrier and modify it also using a longer banjo bolt through the mount or do I use the rs carrier and a driveshaft off something else with a smaller bearing ?? have asked all over the place also done lots of searching but found nothing on this other than tdci shafts ?? tdci shafts from what as the tdci shafts I have all have large bearings
