9.000RPM FORD ESCORT Mk2 || 2.0L V6 BTCC Engine Swap FLAT-OUT

  • Reto Steiner drives one of the most unique and fastest Ford Escort Mk2 units in European Hillclimb Racing, powered by the 2.0L V6 unit that was used on the Ford Mondeo Touring Cars of the late 90´s. With around 310Hp/9.000Rpm powering the Rear Wheels thorugh a 6-speed Sequential Gearbox, and weighing under 900Kg, it benefits also from the fact that Mr. Steiner is no slouch behind the wheel. In fact, he seems to squeeze every bit of performance for the RWD Classic Ford in every event pretty much now for over a decade and as you can see here at:

    00:49 - St. Ursanne - Les Rangiers HillClimb

    I don't know if it's a typo but the Ford/Mazda 2.5 duratec is not a 2.0 liter and this particular one is not n/a as one can see a front mount charge cooler in the air dam... Unless it's a oil cooler but that's a giant oil cooler. From my time as a Ford tech I do know that one could take the crank and cylinder heads off the 3.0 duratec and put them in the 2.5 to make a 3.2 stroker.

    • @HillClimbMonsters
      @HillClimbMonsters  2 місяці тому +2

      It is both NA and 2.0. Destroked DuraTec (Mazda KL) engine much like the Mondeo BTCC unit was when it competed and where this engine unit stems from. Quite easy to find all this info too, if one wants to.

    • @fontheking5
      @fontheking5 Місяць тому +2

      2 liters were the maximum allowed size for super touring car engines, which this is.
      It was used in the 90:s Ford Mondeo Super touring cars in BTCC, the snarling sounds tells me it`s either a 97 or 98 Mondeo BTCC engine.
      The rules said that you could use any 2 liter naturally aspirated engine you wanted from your parent company, and Ford / Cosworth decided to use the 2.5 liter Mazda MX6 / Ford Probe ( Mazda KL V6 engine ) as a base for their BTCC engine, since it was slightly smaller and more lightweight than the Duratec, it was destroked to 2 liters to suit the rules in super touring and tuned to around 300 hp, the revlimit was 8500 rpm.
      Also the Ford Duratec and the Mazda KL are very different engines, they are not from the same engine family, they have very similar specs, but are very different actually.
