i need so advise, i live in the uk and have a 2.5 v6 mondeo, which is being rebuilt at the moment, when it retuns to me it will have been bored out and have a power flow twin 4" oval exhaust K&N 57i air filter and a superchip.

This will be good but i have been told that this is a far as you can go with this engine, does anyone know what else i can do do this.

Many Thanks

Wes

Bored out to what? I don't know if you have the 3.0L Duratec over there, but it is pretty common in the States (Taurus, Escape, Jag X,S). I believe it has a longer stroke, not bigger bore. Check the 3.0L forums. Or, just add a supercharger.

Does the Lincoln LS use it too or is that just the 4.0 liter V8?

The 3.0L Duratec has the same stroke as the 2.5L Duratec, but a larger bore. The Lincoln LS V6 is indeed based off of the 3.0L Duratec.

Black '98.0 GL V6/MTX, tints, SVT airbox (sans fender boot), stock muffler replaced with spiral racing muffler, A6 side markers, Cougar 16" polished wheels w/ bald 205/50/16 Yoko A520's, Mobil 1 5W30, Castrol SATF/Ford FM tranny cocktail, 9005 high-beam bulbs all around, re-aimed stock foglights

Check this out:

http://www.fordmondeo.org/cgi-local/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=000302

Notice the part about the V6 TURBO KIT

If you are getting new pistons, you might as well go with low comp ones and get the turbo kit. Let me know if you are interested.
