	Formula Ford History
		Formula Ford provides drivers with their first insights into how a racing car feels to drive and how to properly set up a car to be competitive.
		Formula Ford cars weigh less than 450 kg (1000 lb), so their engines, which typically develop about 115 hp, are capable of propelling them from 0-100 km/h in less than five seconds, reaching top speeds of 220 km/h (140 mph).
		Ford administers some of the national Formula Ford championships around the world, but older cars are very popular with club racers, providing the ground for several organizations to run their own series.

		The variability is dependent on engine speed and load, and is accomplished by changing oil pressure on either side of a piston in a helix between the cam and its drive pulley.
		SVT engineers were able to reposition the catalyst under the vehicle, far enough downstream in the exhaust system to incorporate a tuned 4-into-2-into-1 tubular header.
		To handle the engine’s increased torque, the clutch is upgraded with stiffer springs in the pressure plate.

	zetecinside.com - Tuning the Zetec
		Fords marketing department presumably decreed that their top-of-the-line performance variant couldn't have an engine of older design than the cooker models, and so they dressed up a Zetec to look like the engine that replaced it.
		The Duratec is an all alloy engine with chain-driven cams and the induction and exhaust on opposite sides of the head.
		Zetecs are usually saddled with a 60 or 70amp alternator to cater for a modern cars' power-hungry electrical system, with their electric windows and air conditioning.

	Ford Focus - Wikicars
		Ford Focus Mk 2 ST The all-new Mk 2 Ford Focus was launched in 2004 and was a task few manufacturers would have relished; to replace a car which was universally praised and set unprecedented new standards to a class.

	project ST website :: Turbocharging the Zetec engine
		Originally Ford had wanted to use a tubular manifold, but development problems, rumoured to be attributed to premature failure of the welds, resulted in the cast manifold being used.
		For a turbocharged Zetec application, mounting the starter at the rear of the engine will improve it’s lifespan as it is less susceptible to heat damage from the turbocharger.
		Specialist engine building companies will be able to take the necessary work on to fit these parts and you should expect to budget around £800 to £1,500 for the engine block work to be carried out.
