if you had a grand to spend NA tuning a 2.0 zetec, what would you do?

i'm pretty sure that once i buy megasquirt i can map it myself with some practice and some studying

i can also make things like bike TB's fit no problem

and its going in a D reg escort so carbs could be an option, just wondering whats best

cheers for any help

I wouldn't bother, pointless spending that much money and keeping it N/A.

I'd spend abit more and turbo it.

But if I HAD too it would be headwork, inlet and exhaust manifolds, tb's, cam etc.

 

ST170 head is a must, it does big numbers. Fit throttle bodies and some wild cams and you can do 250hp. If i do headwork, over 300hp is possible. You'll need billet oil pump gears, as you'll be revving it over 8k.

 

thats quite immense for an NA, would the standerd internals stand up to that?
