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

Re: Reyland Zs Rebuild / Update

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

Dave MGT is on a distinguished road
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.

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

tcb 180 will become famous soon enough
Won't sound distinctive like that lovely kv6 note though. That alone does it for me sorry.
