For mid-engine installations see the Mamba Motorsport high-torque transaxle as the perfect match driveline.

Engines and Kits can also be supplied for the 2.3 ltr engines if required. The 2.3 ltr however is not suitable for use in the C23 due to its increased height.

DURATEC Performance

The Duratec HE range of engines has been developed by Ford in collaboration with Mazda in Japan and supercedes the Zetec - E range of engines.
The complete engine is made of cast aluminium which produces a very light unit. The camshafts are driven by a pin-link chain; the oil pump is also chain driven. Further design features include a stiffening frame incorporating the main bearing caps which support the crankshaft in the cylinder block and the deep-drawn side walls of the cylinder block which reduce vibration.

Mamba Motorsport have chosen this superb engine in it's 2.0 ltr form for the C23R race car and build it to deliver approx 225+ bhp and 175 - 180 lbft of torque delivered between 3500 - 7900 rpm in a near flat curve.

The results - stunning performance, tractable delivery, high reliability... and low cost!

We are pleased to offer these complete engines including pre-mapped OMEX ECU built new to specification or provide tuning kits for outputs from 180 to 250 bhp. Standard engines can be supplied new for lower performance applications or to be tuned with our kits.
