Duratec
Taper Throttle 270+bhp Kit
|
|
|
|

|
The
270bhp kit has been developed on our results whilst working towards
developing 300bhp. Through extensive work with the cylinder head
we have found it possible to produce sufficient flow to produce
over 270bhp from standard valve sizes, these are already quite large
at 35mm (inlet) & 30mm (exhaust). We also found it necessary
to develop a new larger intake system to cope with the demands of
the head.
The
tests on the dyno & rolling road showed that with the right
combination of intake system, CNC worked cylinder head & our
exhaust manifold that this performance level was achievable at a
reasonable cost.
|
 |
|
| |
|

|
The
kit itself contains the necessary components to achieve this horsepower
with a few extra safety features as standard e.g. up-rated flywheel
bolts, main cap studs, head studs & up-rated bearings.
We
would also recommend a modified cam chain tensioner & either
a crankshaft key way modification or a steel crankshaft.

The
kit comprises of new design high
specification throttle bodies, injectors, camshafts & verniers
pulleys, double valve springs, caps & platforms. Along with
pistons & rods, fuel pressure regulator & mount.
The
MBE9A4
Ecu comes already programmed & ready to use, however for
this level of specification we would recommend a mapping session
to fine-tune the engine

Pacenotes
reported on our Duratec kit in the May 2007 issue:
Renowned
Vauxhall tuners SBD Motorsport of Surbiton, Surrey, have spent
the last 12 moanths developing a 2.0L Duratec engine especially
suited to the Ford Escort. The company has produced a kit
which delivers 270bhp/190lbft torque with four
|
|
|
injectors.
The sames set up, utilising upper & lower injectors delivered
283bhp/192lbft torque at the Track'n'Road Rolling Road in
Essex recently.The
kit includes a new design taper throttle body kit, MBE management
system, wiring harness, CNC portwork, pistons & rods,
cams & double vlave springs and dry sump system.

Classic
Ford included our Duratec kit in it's May issue:
Now
that the Duratec is an option for a transplant, SB Developments
have been working on tuning the unit. The company's hard work
has resulted in new tuning components for the powerplant.
Based on a 2-litre engine, new taper throttle bodies, CNC
portwork, pistons and rods, cams & double valve springs,
MBE management , plus a dry sump system give the unit a huge
270bhp & 190lb.ft of torque with four injectors - and
that's natural aspiration! With eight-injectors the output
rises to 283 bhp with 192lb.ft. These components are now available
to purchase, with a kit set-up costing £6375 + VAT.
