Throttleb Neutral Newbie January 21, 2003 Share January 21, 2003 Does anyone know when the new facelifted version is coming in? is it purely cosmetic? I read abt Ford unveiling the new 5 speed Durashift tiptronic but I not sure whether Singapore cars will get it? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeo Neutral Newbie January 22, 2003 Share January 22, 2003 (edited) Durashift only developed on V6 2.5L Mondy or Duratorq (desiel turbo) or ST220. I don't think S'pore will bring in. The Facelifted version should be the body kit, under bonnet still 2.0l 16v. Unless u transplant the Focus RS turbo to Mondy, both are Duratec-He engine. The next-generation Mondeo will only appear in 2006. Edited January 22, 2003 by Mondeo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttleb Neutral Newbie January 22, 2003 Author Share January 22, 2003 .. interesting so we cant expect a 5 speed auto or a tiptronic function on the car anytime soon? thks. Q:If the Focus ST 170 is the same basic block , can the Duratec HE engine be reworked to pump out 30 horses more by changinh pistons , crank, cam and ECU? more imptly I think is , can the auto trans handle the increase in torque?.

Blackford Neutral Newbie January 22, 2003 Share January 22, 2003 Not much of a facelift. Last model update was only Oct 2001. However the bodykit is here... cool kit, similar to ST 220 The next replacement ( official 2006 + ) Focus replacement is in 2004 Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeo Neutral Newbie January 23, 2003 Share January 23, 2003 Stock of Mondy is 145bhps, A Remus twin exhaust might give u another 12bhps (Dyno tested). Cam shaft (from Pipercam) pumps out another 12bhps (fast road cam but alot of works). Then 145+12+12=169 Below 200bhps, the auto trans can still handle the power...I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
