What engine is it as they call some of the Zetecs duratec eg Focus RS or is it the chain drive engine if so would the 2.0 or 2.3 fit with the appropriate ecu?
I am looking at getting a van for my work I am looking at Connects & VW Caddy's my van at the moment is a Peugeot Expert chipped to 138bhp. The Caddy 1.9tdi can be chipped to 140 & the 2.0 tdi to 185bhp but I would like a connect high top but the diesels are up to 90 or the newer 110 but they only chip to 125 ish bhp so any ideas on more power out a petrol or diesel Connect but not a big engine conversion like Focus RS as I do a lot of miles

its more than likely the chain cam proper duratec as found in the mk3 mondeo/new focus.

Easy way to tell, if its badged duratec and the inlet is at the front and the exhaust is at the back, its the chain cam engine

 

The 1.8 in the connect would be the Duratec [chain].

If you're happy to do an engine conversion, you could get the cheapest diesel and stick the 130 engine in it with the 6 speed box? Had a few C-Maxeseses [don't know how to pluralise C-Max ] which FLY for what they are! They go well enough in the Mondeos!
