A standard Zetec overhere is about 130Hp, with throttle bodies and a decent exhaust manifold 170 is easily achievable, but 200 would require head modifications, cams, adjustable cam pullies and a very good rolling road tune at least.

Hi all from England, I've been toying with the idea of forced induction on my Westy, 2.0l blacktop, and have enjoyed reading this thread enough for me to join. I am running 170hp on standard internals, GSXR 1000 throttle bodies, a 4 into 1 manifold and, yep, I need more. I regularly compete against guys with 220-250 N/A HP, and for me to get this from the Zetec it would be cheaper the FI way. I apologise for being cheap, but things aren't great here at the present. I compete in the local hillclimbs and sprints, and having analysed my times/speed, I am loosing all my time in the drags, away from the line and after slow corners, so my pennies worth would be, as far as FI or N/A is concerened, it all depends on what you need form the car. I must add, being 18 stone doesn't help ( read 14lbs x 18 ) but that's the way it is. I see a lot of FI kits on your Ebay ( not the uk site ) but killer delivery costs! can anyone recommend anyone to deal with? Cheers Frank
