I can tell you that the AT ZX2 is a dog, and loses most of its power through the transaxle. I Dynoed my car after replacing the exhuast with a Borla and only got 84.5WHP and 94.5ft/lb torq at the wheels. Even after a intake install and a tranny flush, I still only got up to 91WHP and 101.4ft/lb torq. This was WHOLY inaddiquate for the engine.
The AT in the ZX2 is the second worst trans I have dealt with for transfering power. ( older Hondas being the worst AT for power transfer) ZETEC IS just a engine type, designed by Ford UK and developed over in europe first then shiped stateside 2 years later. Now the ZETEC is being fazed out in favor of the Duratec engine, also designed by Ford UK. The VCT is both for emissions and for power, JUST like the Vtech system, just like the Toyota VVT, they all use the same princible. Even Volvo uses a system much like it. all of the ladder use a much more symplified versions, and cheaper. |
