Bike throttle bodies on a zetec
I'm currently planning my upgrade from a pinto to a zetec, ideally I would like to use bike throttle bodies.
If so what are my options? I would like to hit the 200bhp mark (with other tweaks)
Or can I stick with my twin 40's and save some money?

i think you'll need a pretty savage cam to hit 200bhp with itbs. i'd say 150-160bhp is achievable with standard cam + decent exhaust.
i think a fairly small turbo or s c would easily get you where you want to be. what did the mark 1 RS focus have attached, that must of been close to
200bhp, and based on a zetec.
however i know little about forced induction myself, i'm sure some knowledgable person will be along soon.

If you need a manifold just shout  I also have in stock a few sets of bike TB's and can therefore offer a full bolt on kit.

quick google reveals:

Cylinders Four in-line, with forged pistons and connecting rods
Cylinder head Cast aluminium alloy
Cylinder block Cast iron equipped with improved oil system
Valve gear DOHC, modified valve seats, sodium-filled exhaust valves
Camshaft drive Belt
Engine management Ford EEC-V
Pistons Forged/oil-cooled by oil-spray nozzles, fed by the main oil gallery
Induction Garrett stainless steel, water-cooled turbocharger, over 1-bar maximum boost, water-cooled intercooler, new throttle body with improved
sealing, redesigned air induction system
Exhaust System Large bore stainless exhaust system
Injection Sequential electronic fuel injection (SEFI),
High flow rate injectors
Fuel System 55 litre fuel tank with internal uprated fuel pump, revised fuel pressure regulator valve
Ignition Ford electronic distributorless
Emission controls Closed-loop; 3-way catalytic converter with close-coupled catalyst
Cooling Increased capacity water pump, high efficiency oil cooler, water-cooled intercooler, uprated engine cooling fans, turbo heat shielding
so thats quite a shopping list  but if money is no object...
oh and the turbo'd zetec they put in the RS produced 212bhp
