It cannot...but it might..someday..maybe..
Just messing with you..
This has been fun but all I was really pointing out was that
1) ALL engines have potential with enough green, even ancient OHV V8 tech can be turned into a 2000 HP top fuel motor. a big enough turbo on a Geo makes a monster. Yes, zetec has potential too, but it is not somehow unique to the zetec.
2) Its not about "ultimate potential" its about practical potential..
Duratec...go N/A & take advantage of cheap 3L BLOCK, increased CR and good breathing SVT heads/cams..makes 250-300 crank HP+ crank HP without breaking a sweat, a rod, or the bank. Turbo is expensive with 6 of all custom forged internals to do it right...Only for die-hards..
Zetec...go turbo. You can forged internals cheaper than Duratec, simplar exhaust plumbing..that, along with cheaper car cost tips balance in turbos favor. N/A too much buck for too little bang..
Not better, not worse..just different.
