Hi Marvin, Yes, I'll be going to Log 27 but not with this heap! I've got too many issues that I need to complete. I will probably drive out with the other...
Hello Russ, I have to ask this question. Why are you staying with the VCT? I could understand if the VCT were on the intake cam why you might want to keep...
Hi Michael, To answer your question is simple- "Why are you staying with the VCT?" I want to get more "useable horsepower" down low and more horsepower up high...
... Russ, I admire your willingness to take on a challenge. You are hoping to get 230 HP normally aspired, which, if my calculations serve for a 2.0l engine,...
Could slightly overfilling the crankcase cause the oil light to faintly flicker on? (And I mean "faintly.") I just changed the oil and filter myself. The new...
Hi Russ, I applaude your tanacity at taking on this challenge. You remind me of my father, who loved to accomplish things people told him he couldn't do. If...
Hi Jim, The motor isn't stock and it's been balanced pretty well. If I'm understanding you correctly in reference to the "balance". I've balanced the crank...
Hi Michael, Your correct the intake cam is standard to all of the 2 ltr Zetec motors. My Crower Cam with the .413 rise had the same problem of interference...
Russ, Sounds like you have done your homework. My approximation of normally aspired horsepower is .1 pounds of air per minute per horsepower. assuming you...
Hi Russ, I'll Add a third maker of 230+hp engines. Woody Harris at MSI in Vacaville, CA also buildings Zetec engines for road racing. He mapped my engine and...
Jim, Thanks, very interesting numbers! I am always very skeptical of what "dyno" numbers that manufacturers come up with when they are "selling"; for example,...
Hi Michael, That's good to hear but at what RPM and what type of tune do they have? I think this is what Jim is pointing out with his statements on horsepower...
Actually, you should see what real world numbers people are getting from the 2.0 Zetec and not rely on older formulas, many of which don't take into account...
HI, Horse power levels of almost 200 are being reached at 6,500 RPM's using sidedraft intakes on Zetec's using stage 1-2 cams (power between 2,000 and 7,000...
Hi Chris, That's very encouraging. Depending on what formula you use, your in the 200 HP range at the back of the motor, very nice. Do you have the stock...
Hi Michael, When you refer to sidedraft intakes are you meaning Jenvey type Throttle Body intake systems or the standard Ford plastic manifold? I haven't gone...
Hey guys, I'm new to the Group here...i've joined to get some information on how I can get my car to go faster then it does. Mine seems to top out at 105-107...
Hi Russ. Yes, an example of sidedraft intakes would be a set of Jenvey's, which are what I will upgrade to when I really feel the need. At the current time I...
Hey my name is Wil, whats up you want your car to go faster huh. Well i CANT HELP WITH THAT BUT I CAN TELL YOU HOW TO GET ABOUT 140 HORSEPOWER TO THE WHEEL. ...
Holy run on sentence batman... First we need to know if his car is an auto or a manual, big difference there. That "Guberment" chip, FYI, is to keep you from...
Thanks Ryan. I had removed both the lower and upper resonators along with the whte/blk wire cut via PCM. My car now hits 120 mph. I do have H rated tires...
I haven't messed with Tiburons, we don't see too many of them around here in the frozen midwest :) but I'm sure they respond well to the same modifications....
