Hes using a Ford 2.0 zetec engine, out of a Mondeo, m8s used 1 in his fiesta, n it is 130 standard. Surely Redtop's better than Zetecs for tuning..

after a bit of research, 250bhp might be a bit ambitious. probably 210, with TBs, and a slightly fettled head....
would be quicker than a corsa xe.

Just a thought as they both 2.0 2 start off with and Vauxhall can produce 20bhp more as standard

thats only because the Xe is easier to fit into an old ford than a zetec Kev.
20bhp more standard doesnt mean it will be better to tune.

No F20's came with LSD's.
The only Vauxhall boxes that did were those South African Mk3 Astra Saloons, with a LET in and 5 stud. They had F28's with an LSD.

I was always under the impression the 2.0 zetec engine was a bitch to tune?

Named the TS, from what i heard they were pretty rapid but gear boxes caused problems.
