Shell £2k ?

Plus all the little bits - I reckon you could make some money on them already!

 

Nobody is gonna bid 2500 straight off at the start of the auction... must be his mate !! I never understand why people bid before the last 10 mins!!

brand new engine from ford is only about £1200

 

sell them new do they?whats the difference from a normal duratec?

 

It aint a Duratec Its a Focus Zetec. (With forged pistons)

For those interested here is the Focus RS engine specs...

BTW 127kw =170 ps and 158kw = 212 bhp

Highly Rated Engine for Focus RS

Following on from the 2.0-litre, 127kW Zetec engine in the American SVT Focus (Focus ST170 in Europe), Ford has now developed a turbocharged version, delivering 158kW, for use in the new European Focus RS. The engine is, however, turbocharged and intercooled, rather than being naturally aspirated. The water- cooled turbocharger is custom built by Garrett and features a stainless steel turbine housing, enabling it to withstand exhaust temperatures of up to 960°C. For optimum charge cooling, an air- to-water intercooler is fitted, which uses a dedicated water cooling circuit with a separate radiator. A high-flow fuel pump and high- flow injectors are used, to deliver the extra fuel that is needed. To cope with the extra heat that is generated, sodium filled valves are used in the cylinder head, the pistons are cooled by oil jets and a new water pump increases the efficiency of the engine cooling circuit. A new forged crankshaft is fitted, as are forged (rather than cast) aluminium pistons, which now have a floating piston pin rather than a press fit pin. This follows experience which was gained from the World Rally Championship (WRC) engines. Other modifications have been made to the valve seats, throttle body and induction system. To prevent wheel spin in the lower gears, and to reduce the stresses on some components, the engine management system alters the torque characteristics of the engine, depending on which gear is chosen. Approximately 30 Focus RS cars will be manufactured per day.

Specifications - 16V Duratec RS
Configuration: In-line 4, gasoline, turbo-intercooled Valves: 4-valves/cylinder, DOHC Displacement: 2.Q..litre (1998cc)
Bore x Stroke: 84.8mm x 88.0mm
Power: 158kW @ 5500rev/min Torque: 310N.m @ 3500rev/min Compression Ratio: 8:1
Head/Block Material: Alloy/Iron
Turbocharger: Garrett GT 2560LS Engine Management: Ford EECV

 

right,if it aint a duratec why does it say it on the engine?surely ford know what it is?

if it aint it aint,BUT it DOES say it on the tin!

and in your description u just put 16v duratec!

 

i saw that on ebay the other day-thats what im tempted to buy and drop on my series 2

 

Greg, thats a ford press release

Its a ZETEC. A Duratec is totally different, what it was, Ford were brining out these new Duratec Family of engines at the same time as the Focus ST170 and Focus RS, so for MARKETING and nowt else, they badged the ST170 and RS lumps (which are both Zetecs) as Duratec ST/RS engines

Marketing is to blame

 

ok,fair enough,lying gits at ford!

so when is the zetec coming out to play? u in wales nowadays? probably posted there in april.

 

Cool man. Car is at home (Glos) for now till i remove the ABS and replce with braided lines (tuesday/weds i hope).....got the pipes now

Im in Cardiff living for the enxt few years mate, Cowbridge, which is about a mile from St Athan, i assume you going there not Valley?

 

yeh he is and i might be going to saints too

 

Oh fuck

Me mates just moving from marham to brize actually.....all change!

 

cheeky fucker, still you can do the work on my car then



change it to efi/SECS

 

And you can spray mine

 

done

 

BTW - This happens in all new Fords, the power is limited by the Calibration in the ECU in First and Second gear which stops wheel spinning and also prolongs the life of the gearbox.

 

as said mate,yeah,saints,and me mrs is in cardiff uni,so down there a fairbit. will see ya down there and then u can see the new beast!
