Welcome to Zetec Tuning...
Here are the specs on the Zetec. aka Zetec-E. If there are any errors please PM me Horsepower: 130hp @ 5300 rpm Torque: 135tq @ 4500 rpm Displacement: 121ci Compression Ratio: 9.6/1 Cylinder Bore: 3.339 Crankshaft Stroke: 3.465 Connecting Rod Length: 5.3618/(97 5.4820) Valve Diameters (Int/Exh): 1.260/1.100 (2 Int, 2 Exh) Spark Plug gap "OEM": 0.051 Firing Order: 1-3-4-2 Throttle Body Diameter: 55mm Redline @ 6750rpm Governed speed @ 105mph Coolant capacity: 6.1 quarts Motor Oil capacity: 4.5 quarts MTX fluid: 2.1 quarts ATX fluid: 6.9 quarts ================================== Installation & Parts coming soon!!! If your looking to buy new parts for your focus. Please look at our sponsor list. Please show your support, and try here first. http://www.focaljet.com/allsite/content/sponsors.html ================================== Here are some basic problems that can occur with adding bolt-ons for our cars. These can hinder the performance from our mods. Dirty MAFs Your MAFs is located on your intake: The two screws are a torx T-20 security bit. When you remove it be very gentle with it. Do NOT touch the wires inside with anything, i used some CRC electronic cleaner you can pick this up at a local checkers..etc. Vacuum leak: when your hose becomes old, it gets sticky and is very squishy. check to see if the hose has any kinks in it. It comes around from behind the engine and goes into a fitting for the PCV. DPFE: When this goes out, your car could bog down under load and have a rough idle. PCV: When this sticks shut/open it could have some problems with a lack or hesitation of power. but this may not show signs of problems just by itself TPS: When your TPS seems to be acting up, your idle could fluctuate up and down. people say to remove it and start your car if it runs better, problem found. Where are they located? Maf = on your intake. MAF TPS = side of throttle body. TPS PCV = next to the header just look down and to the right. PCV Vacuum = behind engine on intake manifold "larger hose". Vacuum DPFE = on firewall left of brake booster. DPFE What do good-bad plugs look like?. Normal "good to go" Worn Out "replace plugs" Oil inside of Cylinder "rebuild time!" If you can think of anything else that can wrong with adding MORE power to our engine, without use of F/I, please PM me. Thanks everyone. Decepticon_Zetec

If i can choose between a Zetec 2.0 litre engine and a Duratec 2.3 litre engine, witch should i take to reach the most power?
I'm a student from Holland and we're building kitcars at school, our goal is to get a lot of power in them.

Most definitely the 2.3 duratec. It has way more potential than the 2.0 zetec

Hmm I keep hearing about the ford ranger cranks. Are people making stroker motors with the ranger crank? Or am I imagining things? Sure sounds like a good idea though

dougyfresh: sounds like you may not have a good seal from the intake tube to the TB or from the TB to the intake manifold. You should't have to adjust the throttle cables.

A larger TB won't make the car run lean at all. FocusSport tested this and the stock tune had no issues with the bigger TB.

To add to the comments about the DPFE in the original post, when it goes bad, you will get an EGR code and after looking through code tips it may seem like you need to replace the EGR valve, MOST of the time it's just the DPFE. Just my 2 cents (might save someone from a frustrating misdiagnosis)!

Will any or all of the listed "basic problems" trip a code? I have a 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 with 161000 miles on her and until about 4 months ago, I was getting a consistent 25-27 mpg with mixed driving but mostly city. I had good power too...Now, I get about 20 mpg and I have a hesitation that I can feel real well when traveling at a steady 45-50 mph. I do NOT have a check engine light on. What can possibly be the problem? All of these seem like possibilities, but wouldn't I get a Check Engine Light?

No, not everything is necessarily going to trip the MIL, but you should start with the basics- look for maybe a very small vacuum leak, clogged PCV valve (it is harder to get to than most cars, so it might not have ever been changed or even looked at), when was the last time you changed plugs and wires? EXTREMELY dirty air filter?? Dirty MAF??? It could be a lot of things, or a lot of things working together that can do it and not give you a light
