Nope, zetec is zetec, the 2L duratec in the focus RS in england is a duratec designed off a zetec, it has an aluminum block, timing chain, and other changes.

Kermit, you really can't say that Ford's new global four cylinder is based off the Zetec. In fact, it shares few parts and looks completely different. There are about 4 different plants around the world which are supposed to be able to build any of the different versions according to demand.
Speaking of versions, available displacements are 1.8L, 2.0L, and 2.3L. Some have balance shafts. Some are transversly installed, some inline. There are also engines with no VCT, VCT on one cam, and VCT on both cams. Finally, there will be versions with direct injection into the combustion chamber.

You may wanna do some research. I haven't looked into the 1.8L duratec so I won't include that in my discusstion,,,,
The 2.3L duratec (coming in new foci and mazdas) is a completly new engine,,,,
The 2L duratec used in the Focus RS in Europe is a big redesign of the zetec
It actually looks very similar and I'm not sure how many exact parts interchange, maybe not many as it is a BIG redesign. The 2L duratec has an aluminum block and a timing chaing but is still very similar to the 2L zetec..... RESEARCH IT if you don't believe me.

Does knowing the parts and watching them being built on the production line at the Ford engine plant count as research?
