Either why there not very tunable, unless you spend wads and wads!

Would be fucking tight in a KA.
You have to cut the front crossmember just to get a Puma engine in!!
Wouldn't be worth it unless it was a zetec turbo

In 2003, the Zetec-Rocam engine was introduced in Europe, but labeled as Duratec 8v, for the SportKa and StreetKa models. Later a 1.3 L version was also released as an option for the standard model, but the European versions of the engine are produced in the South Africa plant.

Looks like ford were cutting corners on this. They should have just put the 1.6 or 1.7 zetec in!
