RS WST Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 This is my friends 2.3 Duratec Turbo engine he has just completed building after about 2 years of research and development. Going into a front wheel drive focus drag car but I am trying to get him to put it in a kit car next year. Guess what power this will make? (it ill be over standard I'm sure) Due for the Dyno in the next week or two Quote
RS WST Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 110 BHP? Less than standard - Good prediction Quote
FW500 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 What is the spec? I'm going to have a stab and say well into the 400's possibly 500's going by the turbo and pipework alone but that's just a wild guess - it looks like a very nice engine though - how high is his bonnet (because that turbo is pretty high and is going to get bleddy hot) Quote

V 8 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 because that turbo is pretty high ....thought it was a snail Quote
RS WST Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 Just to note the engine will be running 2.5 bar and the turbo is a T72 Turbonetics As for the Spec: DKE Custom stroke crank, Arrow Rods, custom pistons, Girdled block, Steel Liners, CNC big valve head with Numonic valves, 8 big injectors, dry sumped etc etc No expence spared My friend Ian has built over 50 Ford derived turbo engines now and achieved 525bhp on a Zetec engine on Harvey Gibbs dyno at 2 bar on a T4 Quote
MVS Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 625 -650bhp with some almighty lag Has he any experience of turboing or supercharging a 2.0 duratec for a road/track car. Not looking for massive bhp, more driveable torque with possibly a 'Safe250-300bhp' ?? For a Westfield, if you haven't already guessed? Quote
RS WST Posted February 23, 2007 Author Posted February 23, 2007 Harvey Gibbs at SCS using a Superflow-901 Engine Dyno Mapped by Ahmed Bajoo Ian is one of the best builders of Zetec and Duratec engines in the country, both turbo and normally aspirated.
