Fiesta ST 182 vs Focus ZS 182

Hi all,

Been wondering if anyone can answer my question as Ford aren’t able to. I have a Focus with the 1.6eb 182 which according to PumaSpeed is the same engine found in the Fiesta ST180. However, the gearboxes are different. Mine is quick but doesn’t pull too hard compared to the Fiesta ST.

Both being 6-Speeds, would it be possible to put the ST gearbox onto my ZS? It would imagine it would open up the torque and make it quicker? The box on mine is from the 1.6 diesel but is at the maximum end of the torque limits which makes them harder to tune reliably.

any thoughts?

    according to my info they both have the same b6 6 speed box with identical gear ratios.even the diff ratio is the same . the diesel focus has slightly different ratios.

    The extra power and torque the fiesta ST has along with the lighter weight is probably the reason it's quicker than your focus, not the gearbox
