[jaimo]

Does anyone know the bhp for the 1800 and the 2000 litre zetecs engine and for all years did they change bhp with years etc

 

And what's difference between all the engines such as silver top,black top etc

Basic 2 ltr starts at 140. 1800 will be just under that.

Look at MTECH RACING. They will give you lots of different tuning stages.

With the Zetec you are looking at a lot more than just BHP.

Reliability is uppermost.

Weight is a lot less than pinto or Vauxhall.

Running cost are a lot less. Around 37 MPG at 70 MPH. Well that's what Tractor got over the steamy thingy weekend.

No oil leaks if assembled correctly.

Service intervals a lot greater.

Up to 300+ BHP without turbo, if you have a lot, a lot of pennies and pounds to spend.

You are starting out the right way J by study exactly what you want, then go for that without being tempted by cheaper deals.

A few months saving can save a lot of money being wasted by getting the first cheap deal that comes along.

Your gear box won't need changing from what you have so that means a lot less messing about.

If you go carbs that will save some management money, maybe.

I Would leave as standard to begin with then save up for Jenvey throttle bodies.

Cheapest way to up your BHP by around 15'/,

The Zetec 140 BHP above is at the flywheel.
