Hi Guys,

Well finally got the old girl started tonight, been a long time coming but must say i'm very pleased with myself!
Big thanks go to big_wasa again as this is now the second zetec on std ECU that i've got running from your guide!

Obviously this is a bit of a heath robinson just to get it fired up, so time for the tidying up a bit...

Good, but sad to then have to put it back home again... better get moving for the IVA i guess!

Well done

I'm getting ever closer to the first start up....it has to be in April or the track day in May is not going to happen

Well today is was first drive!

Steering needs some more support brackets, idle is erratic (not all sensors hooked up) but otherwise was the kick up the arse I needed!!!
Right, time to get in gear and move towards Iva!

Cheers mate, I'll have a few questions for you actually.... a few wires etc I'm not sure of, is it ok to u2u you or shall I just post it on here?

I'd be really interested to see what a Zetec on stock efi performs like compared to mine on bike carbs.

I would be even more interested

There is one guy that had his on the dyno , 150 bhp ish

I would love to see how my Oem turbo Zetec compares as well.

This is my seconds on stock ecu, last one ran really well, a little rich if anything but I like that as it made my exhaust pop which turned me into a little child with the throttle..... happy to compare if/when I actually get on the road!
