Ive done all sorts of wiring jobs for local guys.

vag 16v on Itb's with omex 600

Pug Gti6 on Itb's with omex 600

Ford Zetec Dta e48

20vt in a Caddy with Dta s60

And loads of ford Oem ecu rewires.

I just need to learn to map them.

Ive got an St170 engine that I am thinking of putting in a zs or a TF

I have seen bills site and follow him thru FB, he really knows his stuff!!
Only prob is the motor is running standalone MBE ecu with no bbg options.
I will eventually go big turbo and will prob drop the ecu for something like dta or pectel with the intention of running bbg / launch / traction but that's a little way off yet :-))

I have not put much thought or ressarch into the ecu yet, but looks like you have wired up most of them :-)

Oh the st swap sound interesting!

Would be fun having the 170 engine in a tf. But it seems abit pointless putting one in a ZS as The zs180 is a quicker car.

Ive just finished the St170 engine. I think it would be great in a zs and just as quick as a 180 but more reliable. And it has a 6 speed box.

Ive made this one rwd http://youtu.be/Mvo3lazzSVo

A st170 engine in a zs....???!!!
It's not even got a turbo.
Why bother? Even in a TF.
The v6 is much better and totally reliable. Plus a great 5 speed box
I would rather a 1.8 vvc than a st170 engine.

big_wasa · 10-08-13, 11:17 PM

Haha I love my zetec's just not the cars there in. And yes the kv6 is a great engine unless you want to play with it.

Surely turbo focus engine would be the way to go. Easily get 250+ out of it with minimal modification. Just fitting the ****** would be interesting though :S
