Right im getting hold of a Duratec engine to turbo. Im not after major bhp 260bhp will do as its going in a FWD car. I can always do something else to it later.

Now i think ive found a suitable engine witk 70k on the clock. Im guessing its best to do a full engine rebuild before i turbo it?

Would i need to change pistons and cranks for this amount of bhp? cosworth recommended pistons and new crank arms and cams (off them ofcourse ) but is this needed for around this bhp? Could i get away with just a decompression plate and cams like you would do with a zetec turbo?

Im going to be using this inlet manifold

Speak to Ian Howell @ Area six.

Find some mazda bits!

A few of their current range comes with Turbocharged Duratec HE's.

 

nice one ill keep my eyes open

 

had a thought.

Are focus rs engines the same stroke and bore as a 2.0 duratec?

Or are they totaly different due to the Mazda + Ford partnership?

If they are the same is it possible to use focus rs pistons and rods what are suited to handle turbo power in my duratec? This way id save a bunch of cash and still using quality parts?

sorry if it sounds crazy but im into motorbikes

 

Totally different mate!
