i'll have to run 93oct (already have to run that), and the electronics wont be a problem...I already said i was gonna run a SCT chip.

finnally, after one long weekend and about 3 cubes of beer me and three friends managed to return the old girl back to stock, (that is except for the cold air intake.... and the header< which i still need to get ahold of zxtuner on that o2 question). ohh the feeling of medicrity returns. but heres a good question, what would be a good cam set (lift and duration wise)? and ive been thinking about the zetec head since it has an egr valve (and doesnt run off the cam) wouldnt the zetec be able to take a more wild cam then the duratec... or can you get around the vct advancing and retarding on you... with out causing some form of miss firing? ... and how big of injectors do you plan to run then? with more air you'll need more fuel to keep from going lean. or of course the chip might catch that.

the egr isnt on the head its mostly on the intake manifold., and its oon the focus zetec head..not the zx2 there is no egr on the zx2.

you can tune the VCT to be where you want it when you want it(with-in its range) i might be able to get away with FordRacing #19 injectors im not sure yet.

Im not sure what the duratec can run but i know its an interferance motor, the zetec is not interferance untill you run a .400 or more cam.

zx2guy · 01-24-2006, 06:36 PM

should i use adjustable cam gears for that? or... well how to you plan to overcome that in your project?

AltecZX2 · 01-24-2006, 10:27 PM

you cant over come that, unless you run less then a .400 cam, and the Duratec will always be interferance.

zx2guy · 01-25-2006, 06:15 PM

enough to damage something? or just putts around with things.

AltecZX2 · 01-25-2006, 06:59 PM

if your timing belt breaks w/ an interferance motor...your breaking stuff

your pistons will hit the valves when they drop.

that = bad

well yeah timing belt breaking on you is crap city. but thats also a big IF right? i mean if you change the timing belt in regular intervals, not when it's showing wear you shouldnt have a problem Right? unless your pushin so much you jump time. then shit happens too.
but you can port and polish the behind the valve... then you should be able to get more flow with less lift right? and possibly grind out the valve seats, reseat it and put in bigger valves (< personally i dont like the thought of that though)< not to mention i dont think you can anyhow. there isnt much room for that. not to mention, they screw it up you be fucked.

there is one other thing, my first word when i heard this was billshit because thats what i think it is.: i heard that somewhere there is a stroker kit for the duratec and zetec. < this would be cool, kinda, but i dont believe it. you would have to have a whole new crank for it and i just cant believe anyone would do it. and even IF there was it would be super expensive because it would be from a specialty from scratch shop. i though it wa something worth mentioning.

AltecZX2 · 01-27-2006, 06:42 AM

Yeah, you should change the belt about every 60-75k just to stay on the safe side.

You can put bigger valves in a Zetec with head work..sure. its done often.

You can stroke the Zetec out to a 2.3, but it costs like 4-6,000 to do it, not counting suning and other stuff.

zx2guy · 01-27-2006, 06:23 PM

you catch that guy with the 98 he's parting out? that wouldnt be half bad for you and i, parts wise. pity the heads blown, that probibly also means the head is has at least some warpage, and will have to be remachined. not to mention any collant that got down into the crank case or scored the walls and it will have to be bored. < i actually havent heard much about heads blowing on these, our master tech at work says it's bullet proof except for seepage every now and then.

god 6 to 8 grand to stroke it? HA no way thats goin to happen not unless i go pro with it or something.

privatejoker · 02-07-2006, 03:46 PM

I was wondering this myself. I'm working on a 98 zx2, white valve cover. Apparently there's a lot of differences if I were to drop in a newer black valve cover 2.0.
