Is been a while since I ran my Tiger, but they should have the engine size stamped here.
Standard 2.0 Zetec is good for 170bhp with sideddafts/ throttle bodies, or 200bhp is like me you added cams a flowed head. It also has the benefit of lots of (second hand) tuning parts and an exhaust on the near side, if you run a side pipe, which becomes the passengers problem when getting in/out.
Duratec puts out more power and can use a standard MX5 gearbox, BUT the exhaust is driver side like the Pinto and pound per BHP will cost more than modding your (already plumbed and bolted in) Zetec set up.
^thats my personal view, based on the theory that you aren’t a lottery winner and cannot afford to just throw £££s at your car.
