I believe the n/a version of the engine is also used in a Ford/Mazda car in Thailand. Effectively it's the same motor used over here in the Focus ST and very similar to the even more powerful Focus RS. I junked the n/a GDI version in my 2014 Plus 4 and inserted a turboed Focus ST motor which fits straight on to the Mazda Mx5 gearbox. Never looked back and now have loads of torque and 280 bhp at one bar pressure.
Hello Griffo,
I read about it and I‘m fascinated… and just had it on my „must have list“. But with the MOG as my first RWD car (and tendency to heavy feet) I think it‘s over my possibilities. And as I think also the German TÜV.
