There are some differences with the black top zetec E engine.. the oil filter is in a different place.. you may want to check some fitment stuff before committing to it.. 220hp is pretty weak for a 2 litre turbo, I would assume its one of these cheapo high-compression low-boost setups, pretty crappy.. To give you a comparison, a 2.1 zetec with 8:1 compression ratio, can give you 300hp @ 1.2 bar boost on a T34 turbocharger.. using all ford parts (apart from ecu, but technically you could use eec-iv)..

The focus'(Foci' ) run on Zetec-S engines, not E.

and the 2.0 esp engine uses the mtx75 gearbox (lift up reverse) where as the lower focus zetec engines use the ib5

I think you'll find you're wrong, it's the Zetec E. If not, what's the differences between the Zetec E and the Zetec 'S'?

i dont know, hmmm let me see, well for a start the 1.4 Zetec-S engine in the puma/focus has the same output as the 1.6 Zetec-E in the escort

you are correct however, the 1.8 and 2.0 engines in the foci' are 'E' engines, i misread the burton power catalogue ,

Zetec-S - This is the baby zetec as fitted to the post 95 Fiesta, Puma and 1.4/1.6 Focus models. It has been produced in 1.25, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.7 litre capacities. These engines bare no mechanical resemblance to the Zetec-E engines

Indeedy.. And the main differences between the silver top and black top 'E' engines are: Oil filter location (remote), The lifters (hydraulic vs. solid), bore & stroke, and the cam cover colour

 

The later black top is a superior engine.. we didn't go further than 470hp on this engine before we moved to development of the Duratec
