Hi all. 4x4 turbo cougar

[Luke Daisley]

Hi, i know 4x4 cougars are out there. who has done the work? if you were to do it again what would you do differently?

i have a mondeo 4x4 turbo. and a cougar. i want the looks of the cat with the power and road holding of the mondeo.

thanks Luke

i had a 4 x 4 zetec - now owned by joyrider.

Bobster has a turbo zetec

Everton has a 4 x 4 zetec

charliecd001 has a v6 4 x4

no-one has yet done a turbo 4x4 cougar

Hi Luke,

is it a Mk1 or Mk2? I know of one Mk1 that had the full Focus RS engine with 4x4 conversion - is it the same one?

The conversions were done by the 'Bolton Mafia'. If you were to use the Mondeo as a donor then I would think most of the difficult work is already done and you probably have most if not all of the bits you need too.

 

[Luke Daisley]

its a mk1, there are quite a few 4x4 turbo mondeos. but mondeo is a bit of an old mans car. lol

[Luke Daisley]

who's rob?

Bobster, the Ops of the club

Basically transfer all of it including running gear all uderside gear including the tank you will have to fabrcate a fuel filler system and aero filler cap All the rest is staight forward. Basically it is mondeo that looks pretty you will need an auto front sub frame though.

isnt that the spec rob has?

yes mine is a 2.1 but I run supertech forged pistons and eagle H beams in mine. also a different inlet manifold.

 

[Luke Daisley]

thanks, im hoping to use the mondeo 4x4 subframe as iv already poly-bushed the front end. ill see how it goes.

 

[scunnycougar]

to fit a cougar - you need the auto front subframe without major surgery

 

[Luke Daisley]

I am slightly worried about the mound for the prop shaft cradle.

 

[joyrider]

I am one of those with a 4x4 Cougar Zetec and I am already collecting various parts for my turbo project

 

[Luke Daisley]

its a bit of a race then. the underneath is in need of some attention on mine.

 

[joyrider]

Are you going to transfer from your Mondeo to the Cougar?? What sort of power have you achieved??

I have the black top engine sourced, once I have that in my possession then I will look to have it rebored to 2.1, head ported, etc etc and take it from there. I think I'm looking to achieve around 350 once finished (assuming it all goes to plan).

[Luke Daisley]

its a bit of a race then. the underneath is in need of some attention on mine. the engine has been on a dino @ 395bhp

 

[charliecd001]

You will need something like this for the fuel filler

 

[joyrider]

It's definitely a race then!! 395 is certainly respectable.

Are you going to freshen the engine/turbo as you transplant??
