This aftermarket component package is engineered to enhance the power output of a specific engine type, the 2.3-liter Duratec. It typically includes a turbocharger, exhaust manifold, intercooler, piping, and necessary hardware for installation. Such systems are designed to force more air into the engine’s cylinders, enabling greater combustion and subsequently, increased horsepower and torque. An example would be a kit installed on a Ford Focus or Mazda 3 equipped with the aforementioned engine.
The primary benefit of implementing such a system is the significant improvement in engine performance. This translates to quicker acceleration, enhanced responsiveness, and a more engaging driving experience. Historically, these kits have been popular among automotive enthusiasts seeking to extract greater potential from their vehicles without undertaking a complete engine swap. They offer a balance of increased performance and relative ease of installation compared to more extensive engine modifications.
