Which is the best tuning for Ford Zetec?
OC Motorsport specialise in Zetec tuning including the Zetec SE found in the Fiesta and Focus Shawspeed are another Zetec tuning (1.6) specialist offering throttle body conversions (that avoid the alternator) as well as power packs/tuning packs and ECU upgrades and piggyback ECUs from OMEX
When did the Ford Zetec E come out?
On top of this, there’s a smaller capacity Zetec – described elsewhere – plus, late Zetecs were made to look like the latest Duratecs. Early, ‘Silver Top’ engines (with an aluminium cam cover) were fitted to Escorts from 1991 onwards, late Fiesta Mk3s and then the Mondeo. These early units were known as Zeta (only becoming Zetec in 1993).
Can a Zetec engine fit in a Fiesta?
Well, sort of. The engine will now fit in the engine bay, but theres still more work to do. On the Mk1 Fiesta theres a two piece drive shaft thats supported by a bearing on the back of the engine. You can’t fit the bearing to the same place on the Zetec engine, because theres no place to bolt it to.
How did the Zetec engine get its name?
Ford Motor Company used the Zetec name on a variety of inline 4-cylinder automobile engines. It was coined to replace ” Zeta ” on a range of 1.6 L to 2.0 L multi-valve engines introduced in 1991 because Ford was threatened with legal action by Lancia who owned the Zeta trademark.

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.)
