well finally got the lend of some trade plates and took said vehicle out and about in the end it ticks over around the 30-35kpa area then when out and about under load we managed to get the load up to 95kpa so have adjusted the bins to suit now and we can use almost the full map still a few areas we...

well we got engine running with lap-top connected and it ticks over with about 28-32 KPA so pretty much what i was told however when on the drive there is little load so found it would at worst get up to about 40 KPA but again if i disconnect the vacuum pipe it rockets upto 102KPA or just under so m...

So i should see the gauge drop to about 10-30kpa if all is well then. well will find out soon enough then i guess.

Just finally got round to connecting the mjlj on the bench to load a map i got as i dont have a laptop available anymore to had to do it on the computer desk. :( As the mjlj is map based an not tps based and was bought new built up, i would assume i'm not going to have any probelms with it? but the ...

well i'm in the same boat too with this, lad next door is an IT techie and without looking at it said that early versions of XP run a different system and dont have the files in it to allow the software to use or attach them selfs too to work or operate as i got the config software on an old lap top...

The Zetec is a nice modern head design so has a wide power platteau between MBT (Minimum Best Timing) and the knock threshold. What that means is that there is a broard band of advance between those two extremes where the power doesn't change and you won't do any damage to the engine. In an ideal w...

Ah, I see. Zetecs we've got plenty of, but the cars that once had CVHs in them died off years ago :(. I love the idea of hybrid engines :thumbup:. its almost the same case over here, the same mod works on the 2.0 zetec as well or for the max capacity a 2.1 over bored 2.0 can also be done but like i...

If you want a map for a ZVH then your best bet is a CVH map and not a Zetec map. The thing that makes all the difference to ignition timing is in the head and the block makes no difference at all. Personally I have difficulty understanding why anyone bothers with a ZVH as it's taking the worst bits...

I'm going out on a limb here, seeing as my knowledge of Ford tuning is limited (not much done on this side of the pond). A ZVH would be a zetec bottom end and CVH head? What are the typical characteristics of such a combo? High compression? The problem we have over here is that the biggest cvh engi...

Thanks for getting back so quick if you dont mind up dating with newer photos that would be a good help only a friend has a 1.6 8v engine fitted into a nova soon to be fitted with a pair of 40's and i have been convincing him to go megajolt but he has his doubts......

Looks just like the one my m8 had earlier this year however his was a 2.0 pinto on 40's but the colouring was the same rather nippy they are too. just wondering if you had a map up and running you were happy enough to share as i'm about to fit a 1.8 zvh due to being the same bottom end i figure it w...

Brings back fond memories of mine the power jump you get on the axgt just by fitting the k&n filter is outstanding was very noticeable once the second choke opened. mine was a black one on a 1990 MY so would have been the early type you were refering to even had the 3 stud alloys too.

Have you got any pictures of the trigger wheel or out like that??? also what leads are you running?

Got a little further with this engine today spent more time looking for all my old stashed away drill bits and taps than what i did using them :roll: but had to mod a few other parts to mate the 2 together sucessfully lucly i have made quite a few of these zvh engines so everything was done at a nic...

i know its not powerd by megajolt just yet, but as i already put some of these pictures up on another site i'm part of i might aswell get them up on here also. the engine came from a 1992 (uk) escort cabriolet 115ps xr3i after removing the head and non-required parts the conversion can begin, i know...
