loads.

I am a big fan of the 1.8 duratec 4/4, I've had several, and also several zetecs.
I can't see how an extra 200cc makes so much difference but it certainly seems to do.
I'm sure the exhaust and induction makes some difference, but until I've had a remap and got to a rolling road to find out just how much extra it makes, I can't put a number on it.

Purely on backside dyno feel it's nippy, when you getup the rev range it flies.


My wife and I had a pair of 2007 Ford Focus (should that be Focusi?) anyway they were identical apart from hers was a 1.8 and mine a 2.0, both Duratecs....the difference was very noticeable, I traded mine for a 1.6 VVti she wanted to swap before I traded, problem was hers did not have an undented panel on it and the garage would have had a fit! Anyway, whatever they did the engines are light years different, my 08 +4 is a 2.0ltr Duratec and flies along....very happy with it.
