i'm doing this work to a 1999 s/r... my worries are more about physical clearances and throttle/cruise control connections than pcm interface - since the only...
I am having a ZX3 engine put together by an engine shop in the Cincinnati area. I know the ZX3 has mechanical cams rather than hydrolics. I am having a...
... Well Rob, given that info, wouldnt this work with ANY ZX2, ZX3, or Contour Zetec?? If the gains are worthwhile, it may be a decent addition to my 1998...
Hi Eric, The zx3's have a solid tappet/bucket that sits between the valve stem and cam lobe - it is bought in varying thicknesses from Ford to accomodate the ...
I've just been looking on the English Ebay and there is this guy selling a resistor that takes a claimed 10 minutes to fit that fools the ecu into thinking...
... NO!! They are a total scam. They just take the Keman resistor mod, add some fancy connectors, and sell a 60 US resistor for 20 US dollars, or as you...

Rob: Thanks for the info. You guys never cease to amaze me by how much you know about these engines. I am considering either Piper "Fast Road" cams or Kent...
Hmmm. Not all good, not all bad. There is no picture of this item but it does say no cutting no soldering etc so one imagines its quite a neat bit of kit. I...
Eric, Easy way to tell is if the cams require a lash shim installed between the tappet and valve stem... if they don't, then they most likely are a stock base...

I heard about it here in Brazil... Here it is called "bridge" and what it does is simply fool the chip and make it inject more fuel. If you're running on high...
I knew that resistors were cheap but not that cheap. My problem is that i wouldnt have a clue where to install it. This also raises my previous issue re rev...
Does anyone know of a link where I can find a scematic drawing of the ZX3 Zetec (w/ mechanical cams)? I feel like I need a visual aid to fully understand this...
Rob: Tell me if this sounds reasonable. My understanding is that my engine builder selects slightly longer tappets than needed to correctly set the valve...

i don't have the exhaust cam specs, but i do have the focus and zx2 cam specs on the intake, here's what i've got: focus zetec intake cam: lift: .352" dur at...
