So far I'm thinking of buying a Zetec engine off ebay, tear it apart, have it bored and stroked, bigger pistons, new rods, new custom ground cams, same for the crank, have the head shaved, ported and polished, with bigger valves, titanium valve springs, opt. TB, have the LIM and UIM dual honed, CAI, Brullen or custom exhaust, customize a header for it, like Hector did, UDP, and Cam gears... Also, install an LSD, new clutch (not sure which clutch yet) and that's about all I can think of now... Any suggestions? ~TJ~ 97 GL Sport Zetec MTX ~RIP~ Connie~1/21/02 Sold the Zetec, now the prouud owner of an 01 VW GTi VR6 - Sold the GTI now have 97 Mustang Cobra

Well I wanted to go the N/A route just to see how much power can be squeezed out of this engine without a Turbo or N20... As far as spending, what ever it takes to get all this work done... As for HP/TQ maybe somehwere around 225HP and 200 lb/ft of TQ something close to that... I know I could spend 3-4K on a turbo and get those numbers easy, but like I said, I just want to see how much N/A power the Zetec can make... ~TJ~ 97 GL Sport Zetec MTX ~RIP~ Connie~1/21/02 Sold the Zetec, now the prouud owner of an 01 VW GTi VR6 - Sold the GTI now have 97 Mustang Cobra

Something I didn't think of, thanks... What rate injectors would you suggest? Where could I get the MAF? And what engine management are you talking about? Obviously these are some things I don't know much about lol ~TJ~ 97 GL Sport Zetec MTX ~RIP~ Connie~1/21/02 Sold the Zetec, now the prouud owner of an 01 VW GTi VR6 - Sold the GTI now have 97 Mustang Cobra

Why buy an engine that works to replace everything that keeps it working? Good point, problem around here is not many junkyards have contours... I have only seen 1 contour in a junkyard up here that was wrecked, I'll give them a call and see if they still have it and have them check the engine for me, I am pretty sure it was a Zetec... ~TJ~ 97 GL Sport Zetec MTX ~RIP~ Connie~1/21/02 Sold the Zetec, now the prouud owner of an 01 VW GTi VR6 - Sold the GTI now have 97 Mustang Cobra

I guess it would remain a Zetec, just a better Zetec, or worse if I'm not as smart as I think I am lol ~TJ~ 97 GL Sport Zetec MTX ~RIP~ Connie~1/21/02 Sold the Zetec, now the prouud owner of an 01 VW GTi VR6 - Sold the GTI now have 97 Mustang Cobra
