{"product_id":"2-5-duratec-crate-engine","title":"2.5 Duratec Crate Engine","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\"\u003eAn ideal upgrade for a tired MK3 MX-5 engine, or for a 1.8 MX-5 seeking a large gain in normally aspirated power. Kept in stock brand new from Ford the 2.5 Duratec HE engine offers a 5-10% increase in power over the 2.0 MX-5 MZR engine but more notably a 15-20% gain in torque.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\"\u003eThe 2.5 offers VVT (variable intake cam timing) as the 2.0 MX-5 NC engine and is almost a direct swap. With a lower compression ratio of 9.7:1 this makes a great option for forced induction (plenty of high power BBR turbo’s using this), even with the reduced compression ratio in normally aspirated trim the 2.5 makes incredible low down torque.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\"\u003eThe minimum specification that we recommend for an MX-5 install is with our . With the standard camshaft profile this is not an engine to rev, peak power of approx. 180BHP () is reached at 6000RPM with a sudden drop off in power above this. deliver peak torque of 190-200ftlb as early 3500RPM with 205-215BHP at 7000RPM. Add our for over 200flb from 3500-6000RPM and 235-240BHP at 7000RPM! Going further and increasing the standard compression ratio we have seen over 260BHP and 230flb with a spread of power and torque only normally seen from forced induction!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0136\/3951\/6224\/files\/2500cc_Duratec_BBR_Camshaft_ITB.jpg?v=1642258933\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 7.5pt 0cm;\"\u003ePlease to discuss a 2.5 MX-5 engine swap or engine build.\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"BBR GTi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41282788491328,"sku":null,"price":4261.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/6342\/4320\/files\/FD2500.jpg?v=1782306397","url":"https:\/\/wearvico.com\/products\/2-5-duratec-crate-engine","provider":"wearvico","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
