I've had both and I like the 6 better, but I'm not going to be divisive and go "Zetecs suc". Go to a Honda-child website for that. Isn't this the CEG and doesn't it include all CDW27 cars from ATX GL's to 3.0L converted SVT"s??? Anyway, I can understnd Big Joe's wanting to "climb another mountain", cool that he pushed his SE as far as he wanted to.

really?? please show me the 800-1000hp duratec? ooh wait there isn't one, i'm sorry. and you know how many turbo kits are out for the duratecs, hmm one, that can push it close to 300hp compared to one that will fit a contour that pushes 350hp and that others are available... but i guess that's not more power than your duratec.

Here you go.. http://www.fastcougar.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=63&threadid=56301That would be in excess of 1000 HP. The Dutweiller 450 HP turbo 2.5L is strongest street Duratec application I know of, though several 3L with turbo or S/C will soon challenge that. FWI..it really is no big trick to make HP with boost with even the smallest of motors. Boost also overcomes poor head design & lots of other deficiencies. Lots of marginal engines out there with turbos look like hot stuff. ANY motor has great potential with enough psi is what I'm saying..nothing to brag about.

My point was that if you take a Duratec and a Ztec and do the same mods the Duratec will make more power. You are correct that the current Ztec turbo makes more power but it does so with considerably more boost than the Duratec kits are using. If one was inclined to build a low compression Duratec and turn the boost up to 18 psi guess what it will make more power than a Ztec with the same mods and equal boost.

well I just got cam gears can you show me who makes cam gears for the Duratec??? OOH wait a minute they don't make any for the duratec... I could go on with after market parts we have avaliable that you duratec owners do not have if you would like...

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

let's see, that link is for a 3L duratec,, hmm which you don't have (i have my zetec ), it has two turbos (zetecs only need one for 1000hp), and it's RWD. like zetecracing said, more parts available for zetec = more power available. and don't forget a zetec can be bored for some more displacement, and it's lighter. and the water pump doesn't fail.
