Do a search on google as there are thousands of photos to show the location.
Ford replacement engines don't have a number. Ford techs where meant to stamp the old number on when changing the engine. As the customer was
never going to see it most never bothered.
They rust to the point you can't see it.
Either way if can not prove engine age you will have to pass the post 95 test and fit a cat.
Looks like a new engine or should I say find an older engine lol.
Not enough room to put the injection back on and no one will seperate the injection off another car.
Unless there is a way to jet carbs, fit after market CAT and map ECU to get through emissions.
Problem is adjusting the fuelling over the Rev range. The carbs will eventually ruin the cat with unburnt fuel. You could try air injection into the
cat to burn of the extra fuel.
Iva is somthing like £450 and somthing like £100 for a retest. I would want to be sure.
A pre Aug 95 engine is an even bigger gamble being over 20 years old and desirable for the same reasons you want one. I wouldn't bother.
I use the oem ecu's. As they start on the button, run well hot or cold and they work well on the road and best of all cost very little even less
when you have no mapping costs. Fits fine with manufactured plenum.
I don't think you will get carbs through Iva on a post 95 engine but I am happy to be proved wrong.
Instead of carbs you can use Bike throttle body's and megasquirt.
Dig deeper for jenveys and stand alone management.
Do you think it would be a major job swapping out the 2.0l Ztec on carbs and replacing with a 2.0l Zetec with all its injection?
So if I got a donner car say a 2003, it should all go in?
Would throttle boddies and mega squirt pass IVA on my 2.0l ztec, guess I would need CAT too, so would a donner car and injection, CAT be the less
exspensive route?
2003 Mondeo is a Duratec, then you need bell housings and all sorts.
2003 Focus, 1.8/2.0 would be a blacktop Zetec.
If your engine is good use it.
Yes bike tb's and megasquirt can be tuned to meet Iva.
Hell yes oem is cheaper, I can install a Zetec with oem bits cheaper than you would pay for fuel to take yours with tb's to get the megasquirt
mapped. But the tb's will give another 20bhp.
So going off I have a good engine, would you throttle boddies and megasquirt is the way to go or get say a 2.0l focus donner car for around £400 would
be a better route?
I coblled this together from scrap yard bits for beer money ( on top of engine and box) years ago. That engine would pass Iva with a cat and air
filter.
It's not the one I fitted. I build them up as a hobby.
Most of the cars arnt scrap, they are mot'd vehicles, most engines are stand alone, no wiring or ECU etc so cheeper to buy a car at say £250,
take off what I need, engine, ECU, wiring etc and sell the rest for scrap.
A throttle body kit is £699 for all new parts.
The sad part is I have the engine but no one would sell the injection bits :0(
The engine in the vid is the same as yours. A 2.0 Zetec.
I find all my bits via eblag or the scrap yard. But yes if you wanted to go with oem injection a donor car would get you lots of bits to play with. It
will need repackaging and the more you make the less it costs.
Just to point out I havnt said you need, or the only way to do it is oem injection. It is one cheap affective way of doing it.
You need to find your self an ecu and the related sensors. Stick to silvertop sensors for a silvertop ecu. And blacktop for a blacktop ecu.
Packaging issues. Assuming we are talking about sticking this in a 7 ? And as its already in there we will ignor sumps and starters and all them
bits.
Inlet manifolds. For a silvertop there are two types. The plastic one you have linked to and the alloy one from an escort as fitted to the engine in
my vid. The alloy one sticks out of the bonet. Google tiger Avon, blue one. Westfield fitted the plastic one and routed the steering column and
chassis brace around it. Google Westfield, there is a yellow one for sale with some great pics of the oem set up.
Is there a differance between the black top manifold and the silver top? A new black top manifold with all new parts, injectors etc is half the price
of a second hand silver top manifold lol
Crank and cam sensors cross over so you can use either on either engine.
The focus in general uses a 60 pin ecu the mondeo after 97 uses a 104 pin ecu in general for the zetec. There are exceptions to this as Ford was very
much a parts bin special sort of place.
You would pick up loads of information by having a read through old posts on this forum.
