We
decided to develop the 2.0L Duratec a bit further in 2007. Simon,
our cylinder head designer had done extensive work on the Duratec,
the original standard valve head worked extremely well but since
then he carried out further development & with the new high
port head that we have found, this has allowed him to significantly
improve the airflow of the cylinder head. We also used a slightly
In order to get an exact result as possible, we took our existing engine which had been used all season in the SBD Westfield, replaced the cylinder head retaining all the original components used from the firstbuild, then took the car back to Track’n’Road, where the car had originally been mapped & with the help of the 2 Steves made adjustments to the original programme on our MBE management system. The engine was initially run on 4 injectors, this showed 294bhp/189lbft, & then on 8 injectors which should 304bhp/195lbft. This showed a significant increase of approximately 20 bhp over the original tests. We are now developing the head further by running a bigger valve & have found that the 36.8mm valve is the largest size suitable to gain an increase in air flow. We have currently seen a 5% increase in flow over the 36mm valve head. Combined with other improvements in port shape, we expect to acheive up to 315bhp. |

| Head stud kit for 2.0L Duratec. We have found on high output duratec engines that small amounts of movement occurs between the head & block, which causes damage over time to the faces & gasket. This will eventually cause failure, so by replacing the head bolts with a head stud kit, this clamps the head & block assembly more securely. | Main stud kit for 2.0L Duratec. With the higher rpm/load which comes from a tuned duratec engine, we have seen movement between the block & main cap cradle, which would be catastropic, so we have replaced the bolts with a stud kit, which clamps the block & cradle together securely. | ||
