then theres the tuning side of things the 1.6se zetec is shit and dnt respond that wel wiv mods, for instances a throttled bodied 1.6 wiv cams/exhaust ect make's about 150/155bhp. my 1.8 wivout throttle bodies makes around 160bhp add the bodies 180 plus.
So the SE's I've seen make anywhere from 150 to 200bhp are wrong then?
All depends on the cams used, how its set up, mapped etc...
The SE is a good engine and you CAN get decent power out of them, but getting power costs money. Sometime's it is cheaper to just fit a bigger engine. You thought about fitting a 2.0 Duratec instead? I'd have one over a 2.0 Zetec!
