23 Duratec Build

[BigSandwich]

Hello Guys,

I just picked up a 23 Duratec for my rally car and I was planning on building it to the spec focus road race rules. Since the 23 is not yet allowed in rally. Although I am working on that.

I reread the rules and I just want to make sure I have what is allowed in the build based on the rules. Please let know what if anything I am missing.

- Cold Air Intake
- Header / Open exhaust system
- Software tuning
- Balancing

Is there a header that is more popular than others?

I know there was talk of a max RPM, what are people running for redline on these motors?

Is Anyone actually getting the bottom ends balanced?

Where are people getting their software tuning?

Thanks,
Andrew

I don’t think there's one header that is being used more then another.

I believe everyone is running max RPMs which is 6,800rpms.

The majority of the 2.3L were tuned from Capaldi Racing. I believe you can just send him you ECU and tell them what mods you have and they'll have it tuned.
