you do realize that BHP does not mean at the wheels correct? 183 BHP is roughly 150 WHP. stock SVT's with an intake make like 145ish and thats 170 BHP stock plus intake which is like 7-10.
plus not to mention that the european duratecs you are looking at are not the same engine. being as they are in a europe, they will start off with slightly higher compression rations as the lowest gas they offer is like 93 octane over there. look that the intakes and throttle bodies on those cars. can you say drive by wire, long with the fact that it has a map sensor? completely different set up.
if it was that easy to bolt on 20 hp then why has nobody done it for 700$?
