Duratec twin turbo
how much power would that give and how hard would the air inlet system be to make?

eh and why???????
Do you mean v6 or 4 cyl?
On a 4 cyl....pointless
On the v6, great, look at noble, 400hp ish but expect the work to get the engine suited for the turbos to cost a lot more than the base engine, it
won't be bolt-on!!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Why not just use the
Mazda 2.3L Turbo engine to start with as its the same as a Duratec - ford rebadge it..
RobinHood 2B 2.0i pinto, Keihin 38mm Carbs, lightened flywheel, O'Mori remote filter kit, 10 row oil cooler. Modified head, 10.2cr, special
valves FR22 cam, 4- 1 header.

He beat me to it....
Remember a Duratec I4s internals are stripped down so much they may all need to be replaced.
Regarding the V6 as that is presumably what you meant, ISTR Nobles now use a different V6 more similar to the S-Type Jag spec not the Mondeo type
Duratec V6.

FWIW you don't have to use turbo's, mountune are getting over 400bhp from a 3ltr jag v6 which is a derivative of the mazda/ford unit
beware, I've got yellow skin

Ford US got one in a customized production car (dunno which one) and they proudly said they can push 350 out of it. Not much really

Does it have to be Ford?
The Nissan VG30DETT found in the 1990+ 300ZX twin turbo will meet your requirements in stock trim. 400bhp is easily had with a few basic add-ons.
Stock motor can handle 600bhp before pistons need upgrading.

nah the engine can be anything really as long as its power full (350bhp at the most), kind a short and plenty full in supply ie not making it too
expensive

that nissan engine isnt very expensive anymore, and its darn good an engine! what about a audi V6 bi-turbo? RS4 spec engine does 385bhp on standard
ecu. or the S4 spec does 260 on a standard ecu. Put a stand alone on it and you can get that 350bhp. And those engine are widely available too. had
both of them lying around three weeks ago.
