Since we're going to start off with insults- Maybe you are to old to read, the U.S. never had a vehicle named "zx1" as I stated in my post. You are referring to a zetec-e block, also known as zeta 1 or gen 1 zetec. The gen 2 that is more common in the U.S. (zetec-r or zeta 2) did have versions that have oil squirter's and vct/non vct heads(also note the two blocks are different in many other ways then just under piston oil squirter's, mentioned bolts), they are identical in CC/CI . I currently own 3 vehicles with zetec's and also have two engine's sitting in my garage. They vary from N/A 40mpg car's to a 400+ hp dry sumped FI cgi block zetec. ZX1 is a fictional zetec name created by the lotus and caterham forums over the last 10 years. This name started in the U.S. and multiplied when the zx2 (escort) and zx3 (focus) came into production. No British forum with there head on straight uses this "name". Now how young am I? :ack: Ford Racing own's the rights to Esslinger's zetec cam gears. After esslinger had a fire many years ago they discontinued production of many zetec parts. Most of them they sold off the right's.

there was never a zx1 in the united states, there was a zx2 (escort) zx3 (focus) zx5 (focus) and also the ford contour had the zetec as well in the U.S. Not all cams are the same however all cam gears are interchangeable but the vct/svt head needs a cam shaft adapter. I've got a bit of zetec knowledge under me if you have any questions.

No problem. Megasquirt has ton's of support too and isn't going away anytime soon. Check out these sites: diyautotune.com msextra.com also search google and look at the wiki to see how its evolved. I started off on a basic megasquirt 2 (ms2/extra 3.57 board) and now am on ms3, on same 3.57 main board, with two expansion boards. I also did a carputer [/url] so I could reduce the amount of gauges I have. I have one UEGO (wideband) sensor per runner pre-turbo. Although I've went pretty extreme with my standalone I still don't have a lot wrapped up into it, including the carputer and wideband setup I have less than 1800 including doing the custom wiring harness with all new plugs on the loom. Possibilities are endless. If you want to see more I have a full build posted online I can link you and/or post a few pictures here.

I highly suggest megasquirt, especially since you're in texas. To the eat is DIYautotune and Scott Clark visit's texas a lot. He is a megasquirt magician. Plus megasquirt, I run it on my 4 banger that is also dry sumped and turbo'd. I use it for boost per gear and many other fun features.

Not sure if this is still a for sale thread, I would be interested in the roller barrels if you want to part with them.

I'm not new to the forum, but have never noticed that kansas is in the mountain region. Where can I find these mountains at?? If anyone is near overland park ks, shoot me a pm. I've been considering getting a seven for a very long time, think I'm going to look alittle harder this year.

Did this sale? I'm interested if you can get me pictures inis@kctuners.com

Hi guys, Dont be fooled by my post count. I'm not a troll, I've just never visited and always been a "reader". I'm a active member in several caterham 7 sites, as I'm always looking at what ppl are doing with their zetec. I have a very built zetec in my zx2, very unorthodox for this car. Well anyways, I have a carbon fiber zetec cam cover I'm selling. I thought some of you zetec owners with a caterham would enjoy this. I have it on ebay, because I've been unsuccessful selling it on a few forums I visit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Carbon-Fiber-Ford-Zetec-Cam-Cover-focus-contour-zx2-/120574393032?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c12cb3ac8 I have good seller status on: ebay focusfanatics.com passionford.com (another good zetec forum!) teamzx2.com kcsr.org and kctuners.com if anyone is interested in my build: http://kctuners.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=22077&st=0&start=0 Its a built zetec, dry sumped, boosted with a built block and cnc head. I got alot of my dry sump info from here and passionford. Thanks for looking. -Jarred
