Anglia68 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Brilliant news Mike,well done. With that sort fo power you should be able to beat the vans previous best time of 14.7secs no sweat.I'll buy you a pint if you do. How does it feel to drive now,really smooth and torquey or what?
Guest MK1gaz Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Nice spread of power I bet that pulls lovely. I assume you're on carbs? No, Jenvey TBs Oh that sort of totally standard unmodified zetec! Standard system though yeah!?! Bloody good mate just pulling your leg! Yeah yeah. Totally standard Zetec, except the aftermarket ECU, jenvey tbs, Tony Law exhaust etc etc another mega money standard zetec install
Guest MK1gaz Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Nice 1!!! Ive got to admit I am quite impressed with how quick a standard 2.0L zetec is as my mate has got one in a Mk2 Escy and it goes really well! Couldnt believe he did a 13.6 sec pass at pod aswell with an unlightened car!!! Any more info on this one please James . Do you mean unlightened as in steel panels , glass windows , full interior , street rubber , exhaust system etc etc or unlightened on slicks with no exhaust and all the interior missing ?
Mrp Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Nice spread of power I bet that pulls lovely. I assume you're on carbs? No, Jenvey TBs Oh that sort of totally standard unmodified zetec! Standard system though yeah!?! Bloody good mate just pulling your leg! Yeah yeah. Totally standard Zetec, except the aftermarket ECU, jenvey tbs, Tony Law exhaust etc etc another mega money standard zetec install At least his "mega money" install is runing.

Game set and match to Mrp (sorry Gaz you asked for that)
Guest MK1gaz Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Asked for what Vista ? I just agreed with Toby that it's another 150 bhp standard zetec with thousands of pounds worth of bits on it
Admin Vista Posted October 23, 2007 Admin Report Posted October 23, 2007 We know exactly what you meant and so did Mrp
Mrp Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Actualy Gaz the only expecsive bit are the jenvy bodies and a Mega sqirt ecu, the rest is home built....Hardly breaking the bank. P.S Well done Mike good numbers mate
Guest MK1gaz Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 What did i mean then Vista ? Are you a mind reader now . He says he's got a standard zetec install with 150 bhp , then Toby finds out it's got full engine management , jenvey throttle bodies , Tony Law exhaust etc so not the cheap standard zetec install we all first thought it was , is it ?
Mrp Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Gaz we all know you dislike zetecs, fair enough but why must you reply with some sort of snide comment to any post relating to one? I dont like pintos but i dont feel the need to run people down about them, do us a favor and wind your neck in.

Stop causing trouble please and did your car run when it was still being built then ?
mk1mexico Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Getting really really bored of the zetec vs pinto debate now. Stick to the thread.
old skool freestyler Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 nice mike bet your well chuffed
Burns Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 gaz, please can we have less of the negative/sarcastic comments? they're getting old, they really are.
over_head_cam Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Can I remind everyone that off-topic posts are not welcome on this forum
Guest MK1gaz Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 RChambers on turbosport had a standard 2 litre zetec with throttle bodies , emerald engine management etc etc and his made the same 150 odd bhp so this seems to be the normal figuire for them
Guest MK1gaz Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 gaz, please can we have less of the negative/sarcastic comments? they're getting old, they really are. less from you would be better so get on topic
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Posted October 23, 2007 Gaz, I'd appreciate it if you didn't hijack my thread with Pinto propaganda. Where did I say it was a mega money install? I'll buy you a pint if you can find that post. No, I'll save you the time. I never said it. I got a 30% discount on the TBs, and use the megasquirt ECU, so hardly bank breaking. The 'totally standard, unmodified Zetec' I talked about was standard internals. The lump itself hasn't changed. The bits that bolt to it have. I didn't fit a pinto because I didn't want to drive really fast in a straight line. It's a van that's used every day. Please understand that people have different tastes and different needs for what they want out of a car. Now BUTT OUT of my thread because I don't want to listen to your 'blah-blah-pinto-power-is-great' anymore. Thank you.

How does it feel to drive now,really smooth and torquey or what? It drives fantastic compared to before. It's really responsive now. I went to the local garage who are Mk2 escort fans, and one of the guys there is building a zetec escort. I took him for a spin, and accidentally left a nice big black 11 while leaving the forecourt.
