man, zetec guys tellin me not to use a zetec. no wonder there aren't any posts in here well, I don't want to put in a duratec because me and the duratec have a not-so-happy history (remember, I have an SVT) and it's a bit of a squeeze. the 302 is way too big, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna throw the balance off quite a bit. I was wanting to use the 2.0 cause it was lighter. I'm tryin to keep the balance as close to 50/50 as I can. also if I'm correct, the 1.6 & 1.8s can't handle near the boost a zetec can. oh yea, and I wasn't planning on creating a 13k rpm engine which produces no torque, just wanting to confirm that fact. I'll keep after the miata forum too and see what they have to say. thanks!
