What kind of impellor does Zetec black top use?

For the later black top, or series 3 Zetec from the Focus, the solution is a reversed impellor from a place called Quicksilver Race Engines in the States, or an idler pulley made up to run the pulley in the same way as stock. The two pictures below show the two different arrangements for driving the water pump.

Do you need to tune the exhaust in a Ford Zetec?

Most tuners we speak with say to be generous with your injector capacity. The rule of thumb is to add 20% when specifying an injector, this allows for injector deterioration and allows a little spare capacity should the engine require more fuel. You only need to to improve your exhaust if your current exhaust is creating a flow problem.

Can you put a 2.0 pickup in a Zetec crossflow?

The 2.0 pickup pipe would hit the inside of the sump, and therefore you wouldn’t be able to fit the sump without first changing the oil pickup pipe. From experience at race tracks, the Zetec mounted transversely does not suffer from oil surge problems, like the old Crossflow did.

Why is the Ford Zetec on the back of my car?

The unit evolved into the Black Top unit The name Zetec is pretty confusing because it’s now used by Ford as a badge on the back to describe a level of trim. On top of this, there’s a smaller capacity Zetec – described elsewhere – plus, late Zetecs were made to look like the latest Duratecs.

What should I tune my Ford Zetec E to?

Both the ST and RS engines were confusingly re-badged as a Duratec. As far as tuning goes, it’s simple to bring an 1800 up to RS1800 spec with Ford cams or Kent FZ1802 cams – you would need a 130bhp ECU though, or aftermarket re-mapping. A power boost valve will help eliminate the flat spot between 3,300-3,500rpm.

Can a factory ECU be flashed on a Zetec?

ECU flashing helps fully realize the full potential of all the upgrades you’ve fitted to your Zetec. (In some cases, as the factory ECU is locked flashing is not an option, so an aftermarket ECU is the route to take, and many of these will outperform factory ECU’s but make sure it has knock protection and that you get it setup properly.)

What kind of power boost do I need for Ford Zetec E?

A power boost valve will help eliminate the flat spot between 3,300-3,500rpm. You can actually use the standard injection combined with a new Weber Alpha kit that works with the OE inlet manifold.
