2.0 Duratec tuning possibilities :)

I just came across this article on tuning for the 2.0 Duratec engine, thought it might be of interest to others

Also lots of off the shelf parts available from cosworth for these and the 2.3 versions.

Great read

Interesting to read what it says about having a realistic limit of 245bhp. After looking at turbo kits for the 2.0L Duratec, I don't see how you'd go much past that. I might be missing something, but if an intercooled kit producing 11PSI is put on an engine that already has a 2.5" exhaust system only produces 233 hp, how would you get much more without modifying the engine anyway?

Is that the old Duratec(ST motor)or the new Duratec?

I would be guessing and say the old Duratec, as the new one is Direct Injection with variable valve timing?? Only guessing.
