Duratecs are very very good engines!

To turbo charge them at the moment is very pricey! I have also been informed the blocks are proper shit for silly power. It a real minefield as to weather you get a good block or not! I hear the American drag boys are giving them a miss as up to 9 out of ten are failing at 500bhp plus.

I am thinking about ditching the 2ltr zetec in my Minor pick up for a normal aspo duatec for a good 240bhp as in aspo or low boost for they are the dogs bolox!

Although without a turbo its not an RS Turbo now is it?
