6 spd
Flak,
Thank you for the reply. On the 6 spd, the reason I went zetec rx8 6 spd was the bell is a lot smaller than the miata and T5. Also the cost is better
for me. A couple of things I am considering is dual fuel. Though I am currently running cycle carbs. And by dual fuel one or the other, still looking
how to do the swap on the tanks. Although I could do sna
Pin LPG bottles.
Do you have any ideas along those lines. CNG and LPG work way better if the car is stored for any length of time.
How do you like the duratec after running it for several years ?
I have the 2.5 in our transit connect van with the dual clutch std. Pretty snappy.
Thank you for your response,
Charles

When I did this build the 6 speed, Duratec compatible MX5/Miata transmission wasn't readily available.
It also leans the engine over a few degrees which causes issues, and it's a large case, which causes clearance issues compared to the type 9.
Hey flak.
How are you doing, long time no speak.
Not sure if you remember but I was building my duratec along with yours, unfortunately mine had to be broken to buy a house.
I am now back in a kit though but bike engined.
Good to see your still sharing you knowledge on here

I'm good thanks  back in action after a break of a few years!
I do remember, sorry to hear you had to abandon. Hopefully you've managed to find another project?
I'm probably going to have a sell up myself to sort some finances and a few other things

Got a Bec Indy r right now but just taken a deposit on it and bought another charged Bec. Can't wait to start fiddling again.
Do you still own your duratec car?

No I sold it over 6 years ago. I have my Camaro and bike to keep me busy. But might sell up again soon and start something else. Or just have a break.

possible, i have just picked my Titan one up but i think iwill be able to squeeze it all in. Tank is the main issue i think.
Luckily the bloke i bought it off works for Caterham developments team and this is the same things he does. Bought an ap friction plate for £40 too.
But he said get in touch whenever for help as they just made one and got 330bhp.
So it can fit and shoudl go well 
Will be interesting to see how the different builds turn out....cant wait.
all the best
ps, he said that they haven't had any oil pump failures as yet though.
When buying my sump from Raceline for my 2ltr MZR engine I was told the MZR engine has a different (larger) oil pump compared to the Duratec Ford
version. Maybe if the MZR one fits it could be a cheap upgrade to the standard Ford option.

Starters are the same. Some 1.8s still have a dual mass flywheel.
I'll have a look at mine and get the part number off it, if you then go into a ford dealer they will be able to tell you what models it was
fitted to exactly.

I have a lightweight 3.6kg flywheel and matching starter motor for sale.
I removed them from my 2ltr MZR engine that was mated to a RWD internal hydraulic slave and a type 9 gearbox. Only selling because I had issues with
the Type 9 so decided to go with a mazda N7 5 speed. I think it runs with a standard Pinto type clutch.
