ok, I need someones help. just got a zetec VCT from an escort, i know it'll fit in the focus, but setting everything up, how much of a bitch is that going to be?
im thinking it wont be that bad? any info on the engine is also greatly appreciated
haha
you got that motor with the turbo and all?
I think your best bet is get the wiring and a stand alone EMS like megasquirt.
well wiring should all be the same (minus some for the vct portion) and i def need a new ems, just wondering if anyone else has any info on it, its already turbo and bottom forged, so its strong as f**k, just gotta figure out how to make it all work
haha with the smallest headache possible.
Have you considered swapping heads from a Focus Zetec/
I am 99% sure the Focus and Escort Zetec heads interchange as long as you use a Focus specific timing tensioner and idler pulley.
This will eliminate the VCT.
The other option is to use a VCT eliminator but I can't find anyone who still carries one.
^^ swapping of head may be a viable option....then your almost plug and play...
+1 for a head swap for tuning with SCT and install simplicity.
yeah i'll probably just do that, i know the bottom ends are the exact same (except mines all forged
haha ). its seems easier than trying to f**k with the vtc sensors and whatnot. i'll just upgrade the head. mights as well. forged bottom with full aftermarket head, then turbo on top...sounds like a plan to me! haha
Thanks for the help fellas, looks like im gunna have to post a build thread soon, haha
now since a new heads going on, cams and valve springs? whats a good upgrade? Crowers? with matching pair of crawers springs? or is there something better?
haha
