Zetec fuelling: What would you recommend?

[Radders226]

Hi,

 

I own a Mk1 Cortina with a 2.0 Zetec engine and an Escort Si injection system and also the Escort ECU. (From around 1997) I believe the ECU is pretty basic and doesn't leave a lot, (if any) scope for tuning. (I've also recently plugged 3 OBD readers into it and none of them could read it!)

I'm looking at an upgrade, but I'm undecided whether to go twin 45 carbs and something like a 'Nodiz' ignition system, or go down the throttle body route  with a complete new ignition system and ECU.

Now, I'm quite old school myself and have only really worked on carburettor engines and I'm not too familiar with all this 'electrickery' business, so it's all a new learning curve for me.

So what are you guys running and what would you recommend?

For drivability, I'd go for a 32/36 carb, manifold, and nodiz.

For performance, I'd go for twin DCOE's and nodiz.

I hadn't considered a 32/36. That's given me another option to think about. 🙂
