P5 vs. Focus SVT Engine
I think we all know that Ford and Mazda have been married forever and I'm just wondering the differences are between the SVT and P5 motors? How did they squeeze 170hp out of their 2.0L, are they not the same motor?
Does anyone know off hand the differences?

The P5 motor is circa like.. 1992 :P
With a different intake manifold and ECU the MP3 managed 140hp on our motor.. but that's just shifting the powerband mostly, not really crazy newfound power.
The only sharing between Mazda and the Focus is that the current north american Focus uses the MZR engines (2.0 and 2.3) from the 3.. but of course they aren't totally the same.
well there's your answer.. high compression, different head, etc vs the normal 2.0 zetec.. but yeah not the same engine as our FS-DE at all. the zetec was made in Mexico

A high 10.2:1 compression ratio and larger valves contributed to the SVT version's much-higher output.

Included were a special aluminum cylinder head with enlarged intake ports, heavy duty pistons and connecting rods, piston oil squirters, variable camshaft timing, dual stage intake manifold, and a 4-2-1 tubular exhaust header. These additions coupled with an increased 10.2:1 compression ratio bumped horsepower from 130 to 170, while still achieving good fuel economy and emissions. For the transmission, Ford went to German manufacturer Getrag to provide a six-speed manual which is shared in the Mini Cooper S. This transmission was a twin layshaft design, and included a dual mass flywheel to eliminate vibration.

haha looking closer at the rear bumper, it comes with backup sensors for the 2 foot tall people that may be hiding there.
I like the maximum 150mph top speed where legal lol
found some other pictures, in the form of backgrounds http://www.desktopmachine.com/cars/2...pers.html?t=84
