i am just restoring a mk2 rs2000, i have decided to go down the duratec route, its going to be a fast road car (hopefully) what kind of power can i expect to get out of the st170 ?obviously the more you spend the more you get. id like to have it on throttle bodies. and how much £££ am i looking at to get 180bhp plus at the wheels.any help, info and past experiences are greatly appriciated.
p.s i just have an empty bay so will need all the parts for a conversion. mounts etc. many thanks.gaz
Not a duratec engine the st170 its a zetec
yeah, can a mod move this to the correct section
gaz, the st170 engine is a glorified blacktop zetec.
if i were you, the first thing i'd put my money on is:
retro ford blacktop fitting kit:

retro ford world cup cross member

then you will need to sort propshaft / gearbox / gearbox tunnel
then... you will need a t/b kit

basically everything you need is available from retro ford, give them a call and speak to Dave, and he will advise you as to what you will need.
haha sorry lads, i meant zetec, i have been reading about engines until they have been coming out of my ears for the past week.!getting a bit confused.lol. link was very helpfull, thanks. will be giving them a ring very shortly!thanks again .gaz
your st 170 on jenvey throttle bodies and a correctly mapped dta s60 should do not far off your requirements. also give you good scope for future...arp rod bolts,cams,head all with a decent exhaust should see you near 230bhp flywheel
track fiesta on all the right bits.....
