Tuning a 1600 zetec is simple. Here's a step by step guide.

Step 1.

Remove engine.

Step 2.

Throw engine in the bin.

Step 3.

Fit 1800/2000 zetec and enjoy responsibly.

Sorry mate, not what you wanted to hear.

If insurance is going to cripple you then just wait it out..

The only reason noticeable power upgrade you can get on the 1.6 'E' engine is by either nitrous oxide or turbo charging it.. the head is very restrictive in n/a form.
