sorted4 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Wot the big deal about 2.0 litre zetec i thought RS2000 engine would be muuch better, for a start there made for escort and dont they 150 bhp as standard and more tunable and arnt they alos a 2.0 ltr, plus i think they weigh lighter, but may be im wrong, i ujust wonder why a 2. ltr zetec and not Rs2000 engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Insurance....... a 2.0 Zetec still looks the same as a 1.8!!!!! ;) ;) Well that's 1 theory anyway!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelles Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 zetecs aint really that good imo....soo much under powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Humm, i thought the 2.0 Zetec was hugely tunable, and the 2.0 DOHC RS 2k engine was the culpurate of bad tuning.............. Yea I know the Rally versions pumped out over 300 bhp, but they where radicially different to the road engines............. And dont forget, if you had a rally zetec engine, im sure it could easily get over 400 bhp, as has been proven in mny turbo zetec engines! Just what I thought about it................. Still prefer a 2.0 zetec, cheaper parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee R Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 they both need big £££££££££ to tune...... The 400bhp Zetec Turbo were mostly bullshite claims with f'all reliabilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
