Default Zetec SE Tuning

I eventually want to get my Fiesta to 200bhp it currently has a 1.6 zetec SE lump from a MK1 focus in it. It has induction kit and a stage 1 remap mapped to 130bhp or so I was told when I bought the car solid evidence was when I raced an st150 and was nothing in it. Anyone know a fairly cost affective way to reach my 200bhp mark? Maybe an exhaust system and a stage 2 remap is a solid go to for my next bit but after that I'm unsure whether to go for cams , headwork, is it even worth doing anything to this engine and just do a straight swap for something else entirely any advice would be appreciated 👍

It will take alot more than an induction kit to get 130bhp, I assume you have a fiesta zetec s mk5?
its something I've been looking into myself, but not yet done. it will cost you 1000's to get that engine to 150bhp let alone 200bhp.

No it's a zetec 1.4 Fiesta Mk5/6 03 with an engine swap for a 1.6 zetec SE focus lump. So I'm better off just doing another engine swap rather than spending 1000s on this engine really aren't I thanks 👍

Id say you would be better off with a different car all together if you want 200bhp

no, there is no cost effective way of doing so. You'll need a fully fledged race spec engine to achieve 200bhp.
high compression, lairy cams, headwork, itb's, standalone ecu, dry sump kit.

Your time and money would be better spent putting the 2 litre duratec out of the st150 in it.
