is our 2.0 the same?
is the 2.0 motor in the pro the same as a 2.0 Ztec motor in a ford?
i just looked at some pics from another website of a blown up 2 liter focus motor from a nitrous hic up, and noticed with the motor removed from the vehicle that there are alot of similarities to our motors, like oil filter placement and so on, i know we share parts between ford and mazda but was wondering if it were so, also while i was in the market for a new car and my attention was at looking for either a focus zx3 or svt that they had a cutout of the 2.0 on the ford website but i cant find it anymore to compare the 2 motors.

How about the mustang.....SVO or the thunderbird turbocoupe....or the T-bird Supercoupe.
Sure it's "just a four cylinder" But name another sub $16K (new) that ran a T3 turbo, had factory forged internals and could run 24psi on the stock fuel system. All of this was good for over 300whp.
I'm using this motor in my current project car and with a new exhaust, intercooler and turbo I'm expecting over 400whp. Not bad for an engine that came out in 1983 huh.
Also Ford's current 3.8L is pretty much bulletproof. I've seen guys running 12psi superchargers on stock bottomends for 12s quarters.
