Zetec vs s2000 engine
Hi all,
we are planning another build, we are thinking about zetec 2.0 or an engine from S2000, the price for s2000 engine and gearbox is about £3200, I have found zetec 2.0 for £990 but without gearbox. (is there some other place in UK where to find engine and stuff?) The question is, can the 2.0 Zetec engine plus some gearbox and with some modification be for better price ration than the complet s2000 engine? I mean s2000 has 240HP stock and how much money would I have to put to Zetec to make it at least 200HP? What do you thing is a better overall solution?

If you've got the budget then go for the S2000 engine every time, its a fantastic engine and would kick the pants of any Zetec. It also revs to 9.5k and would make an awesome drive. To get the Zetec to that kind of power will cost a lot of money. Try Burton Power website they specialise in Ford engines and tuning.
The S2000 engine is comparable to the Rotary Rx-8 engine, i'm sticking with the rotary because i love the engine. Regards....AndyH

To get 200bhp N/a out of the zetec you will need cams a good head porting aswell as Throttle bodies and ecu with good maping. Also a good exhaust manifold.
you could do it in stages.

Im not too much familliar with zetec upgrades, could you tell me please what exact kind of cams, throttle bodies and ecu, I know where to get these things in our country for example for bmw, honda and so on but for ford its best to look for in the UK, but am not sure where
 One more thing, what steering rack would you recommend, 2.9 or 2.4, isn't 2.4 "too hard" ?
