I'm getting ready to install a serious set of cams in my ZX3. The car this engine is installed in weighs just under 1300 lbs. I have had a couple of people...
n/a , nitrous/turbo/supercharged ? last I checked there was no zx3 that weighed under 1300lbs, so you have a zx3 engine I'm taking it? What are your other mods...
Well, the car is a Lotus Super 7 replica that weighs 1250lb without driver. The engine is n/a via 45mm dual side draft throttle bodies with port injection....
I'm in the process of swapping the twin cam 1600 motor in my Elan +2 for a 2.0 Zetec crate motor. I'm fitting individual throttle bodies, headers, and possibly...
I'd go with crower personally with all the work you have done. Also look into the ford racing focus head, its cnc'd, and has larger valves. I dont think I...
I have a MegaJolt running a Zetec in my Lotus Europa. I used the stock Ford flywheel sensor and all works fine. At some point in time I'll replace the dual...
Since I've had no one recommend the Crane cams, I'm go to use the Crower setup. I've heard good and bad about the Ford head. The CNC machining is not real...
I picked up an almost new set of Honda CBR600RR throttle bodies on eBay. They came with everything from the fuel lines and wiring harness to the air box, air...
Hi Jeff, I have been looking into this (VCT and an after market ECU) for a while as I am going this route and I may have some answers to your questions....
I would like to know what aftermarket ECU's are being used now on the Zetec motor? I know that in the past the Pectel unit was the hot ticket but that seemed...
sct > rest only big difference a true stand alone has over a sct'd pcm, is maybe more sensors, more readings. Otherwise a sct pcm can be tuned for just about...
Inis, Thanks for the reply. The motor that I'm building has a set of Jenvey throttle bodies, which means that I would be using a MAP setup as opposed to the...
SCT has been used with vct to get gains out of, What I would look into is some UK tb/map sensor pcm set ups, and run both sct stock pcm and another pcm for...
Motec, Pectel, Autronic, DTA, Gems and Omex all have VCT capability - there are probably others. Prices for these standalone ECUs start from around $1300...
Thanks for the replies. I have been looking into both running a simple aftermarket ECU like the Omex (by GEMS) with the Ford VCT ECU or going for the big...
I have a brand new - still in the crate - Zetec 1.8 full engine, originally intended for a UK Escort car. I believe it's around a 1997 vintage, and I can get...
I'm not sure I'd recommend a Zetec engine for flight, as these things are basically designed to a price point. I've never been inside of a UK Zetec motor but...
hey guys my name is john.... i own a 2000 ford contour SE 4-cyl fleet optioned car. used to be a rental. anyway, i owned a 96 impala for years, did all sorts...
Mike, As an A&P mechanic myself I would steer clear of the Zetec, as Ryan said belts instead of chains. Aircraft recip. engines use geardrives for accesories...
A&P mechanics are working on engines designed back before WWII and like the FAA that regulates them they resist change. Look for a local EAA (Experimental...
... Try http://www.batinc.net/ ... They have a catalog of parts for the Contour. What you can also try is http://car-part.com/ and search for suspension...
This probably not possible but im going to ask anyway. Will the zetec 2.2 head bolt on the 2.0 block or are the blocks different? Im trying to turbo my '98 zx2...
Looking at the front pulley of the engine. The engine crank rotates clockwise. The waterpump rotates counterclockwise. Craig ... From: Russ Olesen To:...
To my knowledge Ford, at least US domestic market, has never manufactured a 2.2 Liter inline 4. (The Lincoln Mk VI diesel was a BMW unit). So, no, probably...
Craig, Thanks, I thought that was the direction but just wanted to check as I am working with Autronics trying to get them to provide an ECU for the VCT motor...
I run a SDS system with my Zetec. I believe they will work with the VCT engine also. Craig ... From: Russ Olesen To: zetec@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May...
Hey guys. I need to install a new radio and speedo glass in my dash on my 2002 ZX2. Anyone here have the drawings or instructions on how to do this. I really...
