Yes, like I said, zetecs are great engines. But it's not like a duratec isn't.
But anyways, where is this mazdaspeed 500hp engine for $5k? I want one.

Haven't heard of that? But if it is true, could be for a number of reasons (like the owner did something to it). How about the duratecs that have over 250k miles?

Yeah I saw that. Didn't know that was all of them...
I betcha there has been zetecs that have died. In fact, I betcha every engine ever made has had some die unexpectedly. It happens.

This comment makes me sad. There are soo many aftermarket parts for the Zetec. There is no reason why Zetecer's shouldn't be running circles around around the V6 guys.
I can't wait until I get my turbo put on.

same here. the onlythings i lack are the exhaust manifold and tuning.
and a battery relocation

I'm getting close too. I need a MAF, IC heat exchanger, misc flanges, and cash to have the manifold adapter and downpipe made. I just got my SCT PRP software last week.  BP

what kinda MAF are you looking for. i have a zetec 6wire maf sitting around.
i wish i had the money for the sct pro kit but i got a friend whos got a fuel and ignition controller that he'll sell me for $250 that should work.
the manifold needs to cutom fabricated cause the turbo is going to go about where the battery is (hence the reason for the bat. relocation).
