The most information so far on ST awd conversion. Very well done 👍🏻
Finally a video showing how to convert fwd to 4wd. I want to do this in future with the Ford Focus st estate 2018
Awesome job done. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, not everyone does that and I think it's very nice of you. You are a real car guy👍
I am planing to forge my engine and awd swap my ST with a cheap v50.
I hope i can ask you a couple of questions when the time comes.
Thank you again, you are a great inspiration to me.
Unreal engineering 💪🏼
Done what Ford should have done from factory. Well done 🤝
Excellent work! You have the perfect ST now!
Great job!!! I'll really like to make the same to my ST.
Brilliant mate! Well done, I hear that the focus rs mk2 has all the bolt holes in place for a 4wd conversion all that’s needed are the kuga parts
Curious tho is it full time 4x4 or does the rear diff kick in when wheel spin is detected
@@tyroneturbos6916 its a haldex system. I only kicks in when needed
Respect fella! Some serious re-engineering done. 👌
Just found this video.. excellent job my friend, informative and helpful. Cheers, Alex.
Fantastic work! Hope it's still going strong
Very impressive work.. just watched this on FYDs channel..
Cheers mate:)
Wow excellent job man. Thanks for sharing it with us. I have my work cut out for me.
Awesome! I'm currently planning out a awd swap on a mk7 fiesta st using the rear suspension / subframe and diff from a ford ecosport and i'm looking if the 2.3 out of a focus rs will fit, which it seems it will. It's going to probably be a gigantic project but your car has definitely been a huge inspiration
That's insane bro 2 questions tho:
1. Can I do it with 2.0 Duratec as well?
2. How much did it cost you?
Genius 💪😎absolutely amazing job
If you lived in America mate you’d be making pretty pennies converting cars DRIVEtrains
Would love to do same to my st you done an amazing job on yours pal.
I wish we got that generation in the USA
Next do it for rs mk2 !!!!! It would be so sick man!
Ye man love this video, iv got an awd v50 t5 but its auto and iv been debating whether to convert it to manual wich is doable but im more into the idea of a awd focus st estate so thinking i might just do that
Is that rear sub-frame from the Kuga just a bolt in fit? Or did you have to drill your own mounting points? BTW, I think this is one of the coolest diy 4WD conversions I've ever come across on UA-cam. Well done mate... I'll definitely drink a Bells on this build!
nah i tried a kuga subframe but its completely different and wont fit onto a focus chassis without modification, you need a v50 subframe
@@centsam5947 can you post a parts list by any chance? For example the model year of the v50 subframe ect? I'd love to try this... as I live in South Africa I think the parts shouldn't be too difficult to find.
@@TheNonganario Its from 2005 to 2012, but it needs to be from a 2.5 awd, in the uk theres only about 60 of them ever made
Hello, do you have the reference of the gearbox and how can I contact you for more information? I am in the process of doing so. Thank you.
love it, I hope to do the same. Probably hit you up for some info when the time arrives???
I've seen v50 gearbox and rear axle conversions. Would you say the Kuga rear can handle more power?
I have plans for having my rear to be electric powered by a Hyper-nine electric motor.. I am not looking forward for the throttle programming tho....
Hi mate awesome job on the ST I’m doing the same could really do with some advice if possible some part numbers on gearbox and transfer box kind regards Lamby👍🏻
The gearbox is an M66-C box, and the transfer case is is 36011446
Centsam5 thanks for reply 👍🏻
Hi mate Rob here again I have some more questions can you possibly tell me which bearing he has used on the ST rear sway arm and knuckle kind regards Rob👍🏻
@@robertlamb2388 you need v50 rear knukles mate, the shock mount is in a different place and the bearing bolts in from the opposite side compared to the normal focus bearings.
Centsam5 Thanks buddy forgetting back to me it’s slightly bigger project than I thought but I’m on it I’ll get there thanks for your assistance👍🏻
Hello and congratulations for your work!!! I have a question ...can i have this conversion on my 2008 ford c max which has the same platform as the mk2 focus ???
Yea it would work, but youd either have to get a kuga mk1 engine and gearbox, or a volvo 2.5t petrol or volvo 2.4D diesel, but other then that i cant see why it wouldnt work
@@centsam5947 thank you very much my friend!!
Holy fuck yes, C-Max with a ST engine and AWD is something I always wanted to see!
Where did you get the S60 AWD gearbox from?
What extra wiring is needed to do this conversion. Is it running ST ecu or volvo
nothing really, the wires are already in the car, theres a plug under the rear driver seat taped up
The 4wd system on the kuga came from 4wd rs mk2 which ford developed but never put ib the rs mk2 because of the 4wd system being too heavy
yea, probably would have been to heavy, even out the factory the mk2 rs weighs like 150kg more then an early mk2 st
Hi! How much the whole thing cost you? And how long took the whole process?!?
about £5000
After 2 years of driving it, would you say it's a worthwhile project?
Do you think an auto box from s60r, the 6 speed one would work?
Hi Sam, great job. Can you confirm the rear subframe doner please as the vid shows one from a Kuga but in the comments I see Volvo v50. Many thanks
Hi the subframe is from a v50, i got a kuga subframe for the rear diff
Hello I got a questions how did you wire the haldex controller? Greetings sil willemsen
the mk2 rs already has the tunnel and bolt holes to accept kuga 4wd running gear
rs shell was built at factory to run 4wd but decided stick with fwd 🙈🙈 nutters
true, wasn't just the shell thats ready for 4wd, the gearbox in the rs is pretty much ready for the transfer case to be bolted into it too.
hey man! great work! love it! Would it work to just take everything from a V50 t5 awd? Gearbox, subframe, fueltank etc
Yes should work. I am planing on v50 awd swap my st
I know it might be a silly question but can you do this to a 1.8tdci mk2
So would this job be easier on an RS mk2? rather than the ST? because you could use the original RS trans ?
How much does it cost ?
Did you reuse the FWD down pipe or had to get different one?
Hey, mate
Did you find an alternative solution to raising the engine by 10mm ?
great video can someone tell me which car the fuel pump is from?
the intank pump is from a v50 awd and the external pump was a dw pump
And how is it after 3 years of use?
Hi, so there is no clutch between the engine and the rear differential
hi, there are 2 clutches between the engine and rear diff, one is the normal clutch bolted to the engine which you use as normal with the pedal, the other is on the rear diff which is controlled electronicky
@@centsam5947 tnx mate.
isn`t faster way was to buy v50 awd t5? and put it inside st?
Hey ... Which model model do you have the drives from ???
Hi there is. There any chance you could send me any kind of list to get this job done from start to finish? I find it amazing bwhat you did, I want the same for mine but want a step by step guid, I can't keep relating to a video, , any info would be welcome
PS I want full time 4wd
Just out of interest, why didn't you use a gearbox out of a Kuga 2.5? That's also an M66 Volvo unit, although the gear ratios might be more for a crossover than a sporty car.
Hey, i could have used the kuga 2.5 gearbox but in the UK theyre very rare and they use the kuga uses the same gear ratios as the s60r :) all M66-C awd petrol gearboxes have the 3.77 final drive
is it fulltime awd or just a normal 4wd
Was the s60r gearbox that you purchased Manual ?
WHAT was the total cost cost @Centsam5
Hello, would you consider working on my car? Thanks
Happy to discuss a fee
Do you have a link to a build thread
How long did it take you?
One thing bothers me is the lack of an LSD in the rear. I searched far and wide for one for the Kuga, couldn't find any, did you solve this issue? I might have missed it in the video.
i cant see any need for an LSD, even in the rain you get 0 Slip even from a launch, unless you drop the clutch and turn in you wont have an issue with traction, but yes you can stick an s60r lsd in if you really want
Anybody try this with mk3? I only knew it is possible but fuel tanks and rear structure make it hard at this time.
Where can i get the list of parts required!? I so wanna do this?
dont really have a list but you basically just need a v50 awd, but good luck finding one in the uk
@@centsam5947 there are 3 Volvo V50 AWDs on ebay as at 20/7/19 😊
@@ianh9696 i can only see 2 and one is auto, but yea, they very rarely come up
Centsam5 Hi. How about use MK1 Kuga drivetrain to do the same thing?
Very impressive. I currently have a broken S60R. Would love to move everything into a Focus body. Ever considered building them for customers?
dono, the parts are pretty rare, also if its the transfer case thats gone, replace the transfer case then put a gen3 haldex on it, youll get more power to the rear and it puts less stress on the transfer box
@@centsam5947everything on the Volvo works, just need to change the clutch.
@@tracktimevideos5164 ah fair, can't imagine thats gona be a fun job.
@@centsam5947 you ever thought about offering this as a service ? I currently run a 310 st shes my pride and joy and would love to do something like this too truely make her stand out !
You should get Ricky From llf todo a review
he's already got a 500hp one coming at some point.
Centsam5 awd?
@@wortz1234 yea, not sure when but iv been told it should happen at some point
@@centsam5947 hasn’t happened yet mate lol
I'm Very interested in doing this to my ST500. is there much difference between the Kuga MK2 and Mk1 subframes? i can find loads of complete Mk2 ones
Believe he says somewhere it's a volvo one from a 2.5 awd v50
Hey mate just wondering does the subframe have to specifically be a mk1 kuga could it be a mk2 kuga as well or nah?
subframe you need from a v50, you just need the kuga diff. mk1 or mk2 kuga subframes do not fit the st, i have tried them
Could you do this same conversion on a zetec focus?
you can depending on engine if its a 2.0 diesel you can, but if not youd have to swap the engine to either a 2.4 volvo D5 2.5 T5 st engine or kuga 2.0 diesel
Just found an adapter plate for the t5 transmission that will bolt right up to my engine
@@markwalks4205 did you end up getting it together? About to replace my 2.0 duratec and stock transmission. Wondering if I should pony up and go for an awd set up.
Still getting the funds together for the big projects
hi, would this conversion fit a 1959 ford consul?
Yes, as long as your hammer is big enough.
How did you you control the haldex
I just wired it up to the stock abs module and let it control its self
Awesome job mate!! Want to do mine for £ ?🥊🥊
Is the rear subframe and diff in this from a kuga or a v50?
rear subframe is from an awd V50 and the diff is from a 2.0tdci kuga
@@centsam5947 Wouldn't the kuga subframe fit as well?
@@lucasf.1755 nah theyre different i originally bought a kuga rear subframe and test fitted it but nothing lined up and its missing a mounting point
@@centsam5947 why the Kuga diff and not the V50 diff.
@@Tvan95 kuga diffs are easier to find, and the v50 diff is gen 2 haldex so i needs the front wheels to spin abit before becoming awd, vs the kuga diffs are gen 3 which is more like proper awd and is engaged before the front wheels slip
Would this work on a RS? Wiring up ECU on haldex was that simple? And transfer case that was from a 2.0 diesel?
yea all the wiring is already in the car, its just under the rear driver side seat taped up basically
@@centsam5947 So the front box is a kuga diesel and the wiring is just there. Other issue is the headlight leveling how did you get that sensor on? And would mk3 fuel tank fit easier as it has module built in?
@@nazsky786 the rear diff was from a 2.0 diesel kuga, but the transfer box needs to come from a 2.5 kuga or 2.5 v50, not sure about the fuel tank, im not sure if the module would be able to work with the ecu in the mk2
@@centsam5947 I have the kuga rear end and v50 axle. I used the kuga rear AWD box and v50 axle but with RS mk2 parts also to make rear end. I then stopped trying to get fuel tank and angle gear. impossible to get. Issue I faced with back are the fuel 2 sides of tank, fuel gauge, and headlight level. Looking at RS mk3 info they have 2 pumps one to get fuel from the other side to main side and another pump to injectors. To fix that could try doing same thing but external to push fuel to main side and keep the original Mountune pump. There is also of RS stuff that wish to keep like LSD, but know you can get a LSD for a v50 AWD from quife. Is the casing the same on m66 AWD and m66 fwd boxes? I mean the opening on the gearbox output to angle gear. That way keep the rs gearbox just replace the LSD for AWD LSD.
@@nazsky786 i just uesd the v50 fuel pump 2:11 which has a pipe that pulls the fuel from one side to the other, then just used a fuel pressure regulator to regulate the flow, an rs mk2 gearbox you could just stick a new awd diff in and replace the driveshaft seal with an awd one and yes it would work, but not an st box st box has a different case
Erm sorry but what is the point?
