Originally posted by zetecpower: yeah i understand what you saying. im just looking into getting more HP out of my zetec possibly maybe 20 hp more than it is right now 130hp i belive. what you think i should do to make these changes Ok, here's what you do. Because you have a Pre-98, get an adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator. If and when you start running lean from mods, you can bump your fuel pressure to compensate. You can get an Aeromotive 13102 fuel pressure regulator for $110. It takes all of 15 minutes to install. You will need to do a TON of mods to go past the stock injectors limits. We are talking FRPP cylinder head, stage 3 cams, FRPP intake manifold, and ZXtuner header. Like Stazi said, bigger injectors won't give you any more power over stock. They will actually hurt your performance if you don't have a chip. HTH, BP Ben ---'96 Contour GL * Zetec ATX * Tan on Black steelies--- +++JRSC M62 Under Construction+++ My big-a$$ mod list.

The FPR will let you add more fuel when you get into a lean situation on the top end after a bunch of mods. You can safely get 20-30% more out of your injectors. If you turn your fuel pressure up too high, the injectors will drip which really screw up your idle. (There is soo much pressure that they can't stay closed.) You can make your stock 16lb/hr injectors work like 21lb/hr injectors. Check out this page to see what I mean. HTH, BP Last edited by ButtonPuncher; 05/27/06 09:02 PM.

Just stick to the intake and exhaust on your zetec, it isn't worth doing much more unless you have the money to do it all and do it correctly and want a contour zetec as a project car, hell it would be alot of fun with a well built engine and a tubro basically there is nothing cheap that you can do to net you alot of power, so stop asking stupid questions about using things that you don't need to make power ... edit: btw the people here are giving you good suggestions as to things you would do if you mod for alot of power, but they are not things that you need at the moment ...

Most the time they run pig rich so you don't need to be randomnly adding fuel without knowing what the AFR is for starters. Case in point I tuned 3 SVT's at SZ All 3 ran at about 11.5:1 at WOT, after leaning them out to 13:1 (all 3 were using S-AFC's) the averagre gain in hp was about 9hp! 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

Originally posted by percybigun: and you will find those injectors on focus CFM will not fit the pre-98 zetecs anyway. How so? The FRPP 42# injectors that I bought were a direct swap. Same body, connector, and impedance. I have a '96. Do the pre-98 Mondeos have a different fuel rail or connectors?
