Ok...here is a question that will make most of you go "Why ???" but here goes.....does anyone make an aftermarket intake for the Zetec 2.0 that accepts a...
looks like your gonna have to draw one up and fab it. Beause Dan's racing class specifies the Holley. Ryan Modos http://www.inlinemotorsports.com ... Subscribe...
The drawing one up is easy. I work with a 3-D CAD package every day (Solidworks). Now designing one that actually worked well...... Actually we are looking...
i'm not sure about the 2.3, but the older 1.9/1.6 cvh escorts have the same bore spacing, so an adapter plate could be made to adapt one of those to the motor...
If that is true,what about the 2.0/2.3 Pinto manifolds? I see in a Racer Walsh catalog a 350 Holley manifold for these engines made by Cannon. I have also...
That would be time wasted. I can get pictures of a 2.3 manifold next to my bare Zetec head if you wish, but I assure you that it ain't even close. Ryan Modos ...
Hi All, I wrote a long while ago that I was going to try to convert a ZX2 into a ZX3. Well I have been driving the car since August, so I guess that it does ...
Congratulations, Michael. You have to be very happy with the accomplishment. Was the 180 hp at the wheels or flywheel? Do you have a dyno graph you would...
Hi Blaine, The hp rating is a rough guess at the crank. I have set my redline at 7,000, with a hard cutoff at 7,300. I would feel comfortable going to 7,500,...
There are plenty of cams available for the ZX2 head. My ZX2 dynoed at 167 HP at the wheels with the 0.405" lift esslinger intake cam and 0.365" lift esslinger...
The S/R was made in so few numbers that it will not have it's own specific manual, and the modifications made weren't significant enough to warrant one,...
Oops, disregard this, Hotmail fooled me into thinking this was a new message after I approved a member... Ryan Modos http://www.inlinemotorsports.com...
Hi everybody. I want to do some basic bolt on engine mods on my '98 ZX2 5 speed. I was wondering what the specific weak points and strong points of this...
7 years old, 80K miles probably, I would be careful about putting too much stress on without a thorough evaluation.As the quote goes, "How fast do you want to...
... "Kemanizing" the intake, a chip (but which?) and an UDP. That should add up to 10-15 hp across the powerband. I may also add a short shifter which won't ...
Without removing the head. what is the highest lift I can have on a camshaft for a ZX3 motor? Without removing the head is replacing the cam just a waste of...
HI Lee, I am using Kent Focus12 cams. The intake is 10.30 mm, the exhaust is 9.95 mm. I did have to grind for clearence for my intake cam to rotate properly,...
the most popular street cam combo i sell is the web hi rev intake cam and the hi torque exhaust cam used in combination. it has minimal torque loss with a nice...
All, I have a general question collective about engines: At higher altitudes what is the best plan for cams and valves? I want to keep good strong mid-range...
Hi guys, The older ones among you may remember that I wrote a long while ago about my zetec engined kit car. I've sorted most of the problems, but I still have...
It has "standard fuel injection", by that do we mean the whole intake is stock? This behavior you are describing is well known in ZETECs and is the basis for...
... Yes - absolutely standard (some of the emission controls have been removed, but nothing significant) ... I wish it did have a diagnostic port - there is a...

Thanks for the help. In fact, my Zetrec is an older one and has the small rounded triangular diagnostic socket (or should have!). I have a socket that looks...
I have gotten similar behavior when the signal from the Fuel Pressure sensor was bad. On my 2.0 zetec when the fuel pressure sensor is disconnected, the ECU...
