I think you would be better just changing the engine to 1.8 130spec or 2.0l

195bhp from some pistons and cams? Someone's pulling your leg!!

The 1.6 zetecs are wheezy as fook, as said, stick a 2 litre in it!

Yes 2 litre from the mondeo is what you want. Have a look on escort evolution forum, there's a guide on there to show just how its done!
