[Scooter]

not sure if it\'s a re-post, but thought you guys might be interested in seeing. I got this from the US Protege board.

2.3 liter Duratec
Hi-Boost Big Boost Turbo Kit
Forged internals (Pauter Rods/Wiseco pistons)
96 Lb/hr Rochester Injectors
Front slicks/rear skinnies
16 psi of boost

The Suzuki swift in the other lane broke an Axel and ened up getting spanked really bad as a result. It is also running a Hi-Boost turbo kit and puts down 320 WHP from its 1.3L engine.

MPH sensor was messed up, but they say it was 124 (not sure if that\'s correct or not since it\'s not on the slip)

Isn\'t this a 2.3L from a Ford Focus? I don\'t think Mazda came with this engine...they swapped?

yeah that is a focus motor!
don\'t know about the swap!?

Edit: did some searching

duratec Mazda or Ford? (http://forums.focaljet.com/mazda-3/435521-mazda-duratec-not.html)

there is some debate here, but it seems that the engine is in some way or another a collaboration of the two companies, and they are similar?

The Mazda 2.3 isn\'t a Duratec motor.

Sorry to say this but that\'s a fast Mazda 3 shell with a Focus motor.

I don\'t get why they would swap the engine for the duratec....nothing wrong with the mazda\'s 2.3L... with the duratec, they are competiting with many other companies like jackson racing, vortech, roush, etc all with turbo or superchargers for this motor. Maybe he made a mistake by typing Duratec at the end of the 2.3L :p

Keep that American K-Wrap on the other board. More than enough chit chat over there if you want to read it

it is NOT a swap with the north american Focus engine. HiBoost is running the same 2.3L MZR engine that came with the car the day it rolled off the dealership floor, albeit with a few internal changes for that 1/4 mile run.

the 2.3L in the Mazda3 is part of the duratec family...with the head being unique to Mazda.

cliff\'s notes: the HiBoost 3 in that vid has the same engine as every other 2.3L mazda3, with upgraded internals as noted.

Duratec 20
Ford Duratec 20 engine in a 2005 Ford Focus

Beginning in 2004, Ford dropped the old 4-cylinder Zetec engines in favor of Mazda\'s MZR design. Thus, 2005+ Duratec 4 cylinder engines are Mazdas. This includes the 2.0 L Duratec 20 and 2.3 L Duratec 23.

The 993 is a 2.0 L (1988 cc) version built in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. Bore is 84.8 mm and stroke is 88 mm. It is used in the Ford Escape and Focus. Output is 130 hp (97 kW) at 5300 RPM with 135 ftВ·lbf (183 NВ·m) of torque at 4500 rpm. It has an aluminum engine block and aluminum DOHC cylinder heads. The cylinders are lined with cast iron. It uses SFI fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with VVT and features fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and a cast aluminum or reinforced plastic intake manifold.


Duratec 23

The Duratec 23 is a 2.3 L (2261 cc) version of the Mazda-designed Duratec 20. Bore is 87.4 mm and stroke is 94 mm. It has an aluminum engine block with cast iron cylinder liners and aluminum DOHC cylinder heads. It uses SFI fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with VCT and features fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods and a one-piece cast camshaft.

The 23EW is built in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico for use in the US-market Focus, Mazda3 and Mazda6. Output is 144 hp (107 kW) at 5750 RPM with 149 ftВ·lbf (202 NВ·m) of torque at 4200 rpm.

The 23NS is built in Dearborn, MI for the Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series. Output is 143 hp (107 kW) at 5250 rpm with 154 ftВ·lbf (209 NВ·m) of torque at 5750 rpm.

Applications:

* 23EW
o Mazda Mazda3
o Mazda Mazda6
o Ford Focus
* 23NS
o 2005 Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute
o Ford Ranger/Mazda B-Series Source (http://www.transporteon.com/Engines-D/Duratec.php)



A major wrinkle the Blue Oval had to iron out was the unimpressive engine choices in the lineup. The old Zetec 2.0-litre mill did the job, but often seemed the weakest, weeziest link across the board. For 2005, Ford has adopted Mazda-derived inline four cylinders in both 2.0- and 2.3-litre guise, the same engines used in the Mazda3, though they\'ve been cleverly rebadged as Duratec 20 and 23.Source (http://carguidemagazine.com/archive/aug2004/roadTests/focus.php)



MZR

Main article: Mazda MZR engine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_MZR_engine)

The versatile MZR is Mazda\'s latest Straight-4 engine. Development was assisted by Ford, who also sell the engine as the Duratec 23. The MZR family features a special long intake manifold for added torque, S-VT continuous variable valve timing, and a stainless steel 4:1 exhaust header.
