Default What does the 1.6 duratec 16v rev to?

I have just read an article in the paper which said the fiesta zetec auto reved all the way to 7grand holding third.

What is the offical revline and engine cutout?

6800 When I tested mine. I've only done it once, and never again, I wanted to hear the exaust popping when it hit the fuel cutout, but yeah. It was 6800 for mine.

Thanks Danny.

Ive just been reading up on the Formula Ford site tonight which most people now know uses the fiesta engine. The full engine specs are available there in pdf format. Totally stock engines with balanced lightened flywheel, custom intake, k&n filter and extractors give a 25% hp increase @ 7000rpm. So the intake and exhaust are all thats needed without a camshaft change. Optimised fuel maps would be nice for the fiesta also.

The formulaford.com.au site has links to ford.com.au with the fiesta but the dumb promotional guys at ford havent thought of doing it around the other wayto promote the fiesta.

Why cant they release a formula ford pack for the zetec with maybe scuff plates, shifter, pedals, spoiler and exhuast tip at a discounted price?

Stock internals will take upto 210hp BTW.

Im pretty sure the official cutoff is 6900rpm but according to the manual MAX regular speed is 6450rpm with max intermittent speed is 6675
