Default n/a zetec engine tuning

My brother wants to build a very powerfull n/a 2.0 Zetec for his XR2i.
whats the most you've seen out of one?

He planning throttle bodies but dosent know what size bodies to fit?

220bhp NA is mega big bucks for a start..... does he realise?


xfactor were selling their engine not too long ago - might be worth seein if they still have the set up (this was about 190ish bhp if memory serves me right)

TBs, cams, raised compression ported head... management...

i personally like the idea of the standardish spec engine.... big exhaust and manifold and throttle bodies.... for about 180ish bhp I think grahamb was reporting in his mk1 fiesta.

my old mans got a n/a 2ltr zetec in his dax kit car.
he was running dunnells 175 bhp kit. All this consists of is throttle bodies and new managment.
he bought the car with them already on it so i dont know how much it cost.
But recently he sent the head back to them had some more work done, new cams, new rod bolts and the rev limited raised a bit, now hes getting apx 210bhp. That work cost him less than a grand.
He strongly recomends vernier pullys as it took him ages to set his cams up.

I'll let you know in about two weeks time, over 200bhp though, as without the awesome Primary Designs manifold and system, and without the lary Kent cams, it made 196bhp peak on the dyno with just the Jenvey throttle bodies on

It's gonna be naughty!!!
