Has anyone used the 2.3 for engine out of the Galaxy.
If so what are they like?
same engine as in the scorpio apparently
linky
They are the same engine yes was hoping someone had fitted one in to a 7 and what sort of power they are making

Dave Walker had a 2.3L Duratec in his workshop in November's PPC mag.
It was running 286BHP on......54mm TBs...
Now that could be fun
Was that Nat ASpirated or Turbo'd (or even Supercharged?
Id recon the Galaxy 2.3 is no good for a 7, it has some sort of balancer shaft running under the crankshaft, making it very tall, and shortening the
sump would be a no no.
Its also a derivative of the 2.0 Twincam, which is not very well respected.
Some info here regarding using the 2.3 in and RS Linky
