Duratec 1.8 To 2Ltr Engine Swop Pre-Facelift

04 October 2012 - 07:39 PM

Now this is an important answer to those asking the question 'can you swap a 1.8 duratec with a 2,0 ?' Yes, it went straight in, didn't swap the fuel rail or anything,just ran it straight off the 1.8 ECU and once warm, it ticked over at 900rpm.
Just like to post this some might find useful :rolleyes:
