The Duratec is a range of four, five, and six-cylinder gasoline engines produced by the Ford Motor Company, used in Ford, Mazda, Volvo, Caterham, Morgan, Tiger, Ginetta cars and by specialist engine tuner Cosworth.
Originally there was a 2.5 L V6 introduced with the Ford Mondeo. When the 2000 Mondeo was introduced, the 1.8 L and 2.0 L engines became Duratecs too. Now there are engines of all sizes called Duratec. In North America, Ford uses the Duratec name on all its dual overhead cam 4- and 6-cylinder engines. In Europe, all Ford petrol engines are called Duratec.
Beginning in 2004, Ford dropped the old 4-cylinder Zetec engines in favor of Mazda's MZR design. This includes the 2.0 L Duratec 20 the 2.3 L Duratec 23 and the all new 2.5 L Duratec 25. Ford builds the engines for its own use in Chihuahua, Mexico; Dearborn, Michigan; Valencia, Spain; Laguna, Philippines; and Nanjing, China.
The Duratec 18 is a 1.8 L (110 CID; 1798 cc). Bore and stroke are a square 83 mm (3.3 in) × 83.1 mm (3.27 in × 3.27 in). It has an aluminum engine block with cast-in iron cylinder liners and an aluminum DOHC cylinder head. It uses SFI fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder and features fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods and a one-piece cast crankshaft. Output is 125 hp (93 kW) at 6000 rpm with 122 lb·ft (165 N·m) of torque at 4250 rpm. This engine is currently fitted to Ford models outside of North America.
We're born into silence then let it all be
A fortune in silence then just float astray
Born into silence then let it all be
There's a fortune in silence, oh
Watch it explode while fragments of
Irony's examples fly and hit the shore
And tyranny's torn from the podiums
Where leaders stand but rule no more
Pleading with nothing
Why don't we lecture about something
Protest the way we're passive today
Watch it explode while it's not impossible
For flowers to bloom and grow next to graves
And babies are born in the same buildings
Where people go to pass away, pass away
Pleading with nothing
Why don't we lecture about something
Protest the way we're passive today
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes?
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes?
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes?
We live like penguins in the desert
Why can't we live like tribes?
Born into silence then let it all be
A fortune in silence then just float astray
Born into silence then let it all be
