Have ST170 in my car. It is quick, engine is very strong (steel rods), Fast road cams are good modification. Downside is it is hard to transplant in terms of ECU. The 2.3 litre Duratec would be my choice if I were to change engines.
Hi Sprinty,
Why was the ecu difficult to figure out?, was it the wiring or mapping the issue, did you do this conversion yourself?.
Also from what I've read, the gearbox needs a spigot bearing fitting and modified release bearing, also it's only the MK1 ST170 engine that mates the MT75 g/box not the later MK2
Personally I would be happy with the standard ST170 engine
Any info would be great.
Cheers
Martin
