What can I do with my Duratorq engine?
What can I do with my Duratorq engine?
Significant gains on the Duratorq can be made from camshaft upgrades. Altering the camshaft profile alters the intake and exhaust durations on the engine and can dramatically change the engines power and power output.
How does the air intake work on a Duratorq?
Forcing fuel and air into the Duratorq engine is the aim to any tuning project. Intake flow the air during the suck phase from the filter and allow it to be sucked into the engine and mixed with fuel. Commonly we find the air intake manifolds are crying out for aftermarket parts, although some makers provide well optimised air intake manifolds.
What happens when you discontinue power to the starter?
When you start the engine and release the key the circuit will, discontinue the power to the starting motor. If this stays on after the engine has started, the main contacts in the solenoid, have most likely failed. This will ultimately cause serious damage, to the whole starting system and the transmission flywheel.
When do I need to replace my starter motor?
So, if this happens the starting motor will have to be replaced. The most common problem with a starting motor is, when you turn your key and nothing happens. A solenoid or motor that has burned out or electrical issues, may cause this as well. Furthermore, a dead battery can cause the same problem.

Which is better 2.0 liter Duratec or 1.8 liter?
The 2.0-liter Duratec engine looks preferable compared to the 1.8-liter engine. It consumes the same amount of fuel, but the engine itself is more powerful, quieter, has more torque. The engine has a timing chain (not belt). There are no hydraulic tappets/lifters in the engine.
What are the mods for a Duratorq Stage 2?
Typical stage 2 mods often include: fuel pump upgrades, induction kit, Fast road cam, high flow fuel injectors, Sports catalyst & performance exhaust, Ported and polished head.
