Without sounding sarcastic, a shonky old zetec doesn't suddenly gain 10 years development because you bolt a wideband lambda and knock sensor to it. And a shonky Omex ECU isn't exactly state of the art when it comes to engine control, especially not when you intend to live on the very fine edge of what the engine is capable of. Good luck with your project though
