my brother has a focus zx3, MBRP SS exhaust w/ K&N Drop in (makes the same power as a AEM).

Hah, nice setup man.. I had a friend locally who wanted me to do a setup on his Zetec,

great info!

:)

Re:2.0 Zetec turbo
 

Right now I'm running 7 psi boost............the external wastegate spring is set for 8 psi, but with the charge pipes and intercooler I'm getting a 1 psi pressure drop. Actually that's pretty good considering I'm using 2 1/2" charge pipes and a pretty big FMIC. Once I dial in the A/F ratios and ignition timing, I'll see how much boost I can get with 92 octane pump gas. After that, I'm going to set-up a second A/F, timing map for 10-12 psi and race fuel. That's the great thing about the E-Manage/MSD DIS-2 programmable combo.........I can create different maps and save them. One as a daily driver and the other for the track.

The intercooler is a 30" length X 6" height X 3" wide, 8 row, FMIC with 2 1/2" a inlet and outlet. It was the largest size I could fit under the bumper cover without causing clearence problems with the stock foglights.

The only real problem I had to work around was some clearence issues with the oil seperator/PCV valve assembly. You know the one mounted on the front of the engine block. That box sticks out pretty far (about 2 1/2"). I originally planned on using the internal wastegate on the T-3, but there was not enough clearence between the oil seperator/PVC assembly and internal wastegate housing or the wastegate actuator rod. Relocating the turbo manifold flange would put the turbo right up against the radiator......so eventually I had to go with the external wastegate. Other than that, the whole install went pretty smooth.

Good luck on your project..........

BTW.........thanks for the compliments AbaZ....... ;D

Nice setup. Good to see some nice home made stuff.

Are you going to publish the maps you are using with emanage with a wiring diagram how to for zetec?

Re:2.0 Zetec turbo
 

Thanks Jono83,
I actually have made a pretty detailed
E-Manage "how-to" for the Zetec Cougar.
It includes pictures and the EEC-V PCM to E-Manage wiring.

The signal amperage from the Ford wasted spark ignition system puts out a spark out (SPOUT) signal that is much too high for the E-Manage to process. If you try to hook up the SPOUT signal directly to the E-Manage, you'll end up frying the E-Manage ignition circuit. You can build an ignition module using a darlington array IC and a Mitsubishi ignitor module, but I think you'd be better off using a seperate ignition control device such as the MSD
DIS-2 programmable ignition controller. There is also the J&S Safe Guard, which is similar to the MSD.......but can also retard ignition timing based on a knock sensor.
