Hi guys,

I have just finished a conversion for myself and a customer this weekend so thought I would put some pics up.

As some of you know I am building a turbo conversion for my BeaST (I hope Kaxe doesn't have copyright on that ) and one of the main issues with this is the gearbox. Ford rate them to about 225lb/ft torque but I see a few every week breaking on 20k mile cars with nowhere near that power. Thats why I chose the MTX75 option - every other 2.0 duratec apart from the ST150 runs them without issue and its a tried and tested solution.

Finally finished as much as I can do without putting it into the car and the customer came and picked his up and was very happy I am hoping to get some more uprated shafts next year as I know a few high powered SC owners want to do this conversion. My customer has a SC conversion and was running an uprated IB5 but that gave way so he decided to go all out with an MTX75. I was hoping he was going to fit his soon but I think I may have talked him into a forged turbo conversion so might be making a kit for him soon

Anyway, here are some of the pics:

It sounds ideal for you mate.

I am just waiting to see how he has got on with fitting it or if he is going to do it with a forged engine in a few months.

Hi, are you still using the drive shafts from the Fiesta ST? I’ve got mtx75 gearbox from a Mondeo mk3, just need some input before I start striping both cars down. Do you use the st drives shafts, clutch and selector cables etc and does that he box bolt straight on? Any help would be awesome &#128526;
