Well, any kit with anything resembling decent engine management is going to be a bit expensive. You should see all the money people who buy the cheap Gude kit...
Yeah, but we've pretty much agreed on the *opinion* that Gude is a freak of the industry... (Slander cover and referance to D.U.G. ;Op ) That's cheaper than...
i just called Precision, the GT28 is cheaper than i thought. they sell the head unit for $950, i asked if they modify there focus kit for my S/R. they said...

DZx2Fast4U, This may not help but I have a '98 Contour Zetec VCT and the head numbers are RF-978M-6090-R74. The head was cast on the fourth month of '97....
... And you'll still have more power on nitrous as well. 225 hp is very conservative, not to mention 185 hp for an auto. Of course, it'll still scatter a...
Yeah, it's a running prototype, which is good. But I'd like to see the finished product on somebody's car. I think it should be a nice setup, especially if...
The only reason I would think they are doing this is the intended market and perhaps that it would be a flip chip like the diablosport and others. Ford ...
yeah the i know its not a pre 5/98 head, and my buddy at the ford dealership didn't help much either, he said they find parts by application, not part number....

I recently purchased a Ford Focus with a 4 cylinder Zetec engine. Can ayone out there tell me what the name "Zetec" is derived from, and how does the engine...
i would venture to guess the name zetec is just marketing schtick. what it is is a 2.0 litre CVH based Ford motor with dual overhead cams - used in the 95-00...
... I'm hardly an expert on these engines since I'd barely heard of them before I bought my '98 ZX2 a couple of weeks ago but it is a 2 liter double overhead...
better than sex??? i'll leave that one alone. the variable cam timing is a feature only on some models of zetecs... and that feature is called "vct" rob ... ...
... The Variable Cam Timing is indeed hydraulic, but it does not add performance. It does, however, replace the need for an exhaust gas recirculation system....
After I wrote my first email I found this site http://www.mr2sc.com/websites/articles/vvt.htm which offers a well written explaination of variable cam timing....

zx2's have vct, as do 98-00 contours, cougars, and mystiques. 95-97 contiques and focii do not have vct. oops - focus svt has vct on the intake side - my bad. ...
It's funny that you mentioned the Lotus 7 using a zetec engine because I'm building a replica here in the US based on inspiration provided by some UK guys...
Jim, Did you get a bellhousing as opposed to modifying the one on your web page? I am in the same boat with an Elan. Just not as far into it as you. Thanks, ...
