Im Located in Belmont NC let me know if I can help , Focus-Power.com Tom

Let me know if you have any questions , I work a lot with the Duratec 2.0 , 2.3 , 2.5 and own a 2005 ZX3 Focus 2.5L Duratec Turbo 400+whp and a 2013 SE 2.5L Turbo also over 400whp , NA 2.5 I have a few over 240whp on 93 Octane hpdyno@aol.com Tom

Best Plug I have found is the Motorcraft SP463 Gapped at .055 Tom

I will let you know , so far looking like 2nd weekish of Dec STFT1 = Short Turm Fuel Trim Bank 1 Tom

You want to leave it in closed loop , watch the STFT1 and that will tell you how much to change your fueling by and the MAP will tell you where , I can show you all this ,I need to confirm dates for Dec Tom

I am going to Florida this Month for other Tuning if your close to St Augustine I could take a look ? Tom

How will he know if " You have a working map so use that ignition timing, " that Timing Table is safe and he has no Spk Knock / Detonition ? What works on one engine rarely is safe for another , If he was on a Dyno he could check the timing by what the engine wants , I have tested many of those apps and there is no way I would trust my Engine to them , The Fueling is easy you want 12.8 WOT A/F a good A/F Guage will show this , I like the AEM 30-4110 cheap , easy to use Tom

Any ECU will need Dyno Time for Tuning and to Adj the cam gears , Unlike the stock ECU most guys running standalone dont have a working knock sensor so its very hard to set the timing by remote Tuning with out one Tom

If you have the Software so you can link to it and have the correct Cables I dont see why you would need to change it Tom

What ECU / PCM are you running ? Tom

I'll reach out to Tom, thank you. Maybe he does remote, there's a shop in town that rents their equipment for remotes. Thanks Tom

I can build you a Zetec you would be happy with , You will need to Dyno to adjust the Cam gears and Tuning for it If its in the Budget I have a Ford Racing head new in the box its full CNC Ported , I would do a set of STG2-3 Cams and Compression at about 10.0 to 10.5 for 93 Octane Tom

Disables with Adj Cam gears ? The Zetec ITB you have will bolt up to the SVT Head but the runners dont line up properly I would go to a Focus headed Zetec the cam choices are much better and you get rid of the VCT , ITB will bolt right up The SVT isnt really a better option the Performance gain for the SVT came from the higher compression 10.2 vs 9.6 on thr Zetec , the SVT has much larger Cams , closer to stg2 or 3 Zetec and the SVT header alone was a 12whp gain , you can do the same with a Zetec , I have done it many times Tom

The 2.3 would be a good option , a great Option would be the 2.5 Duratec 4 Cyl from the Fusion if its TQ and HP your looking for

Any Focus Zetec Core even the stock 130 whp Tom

You want to shoot for 12.8 WOT A/F , what are you seeing ? Do you have a knock sensor ? Tom

I am months behind but I sell a Complete built Zetec for 3500.00 + a rebuildable exchange Focus-Power.com

Where did you get the Valve Cover ?

I Build dozens of the Duratec engines and never had one issue with the Oil Psi / Hydraulic tensioner and I build D20 for some guys turning the 2.0 8500 rpm Those Adj Cam gears look very cheesy , I use the ones from Massive speed Why are you using a degree wheel , your FAR better off adjust the gears to what the Engine wants on a Chassis Dyno vs what the cams call for , I use to degree but found 2-6 more WHP setting the gears on the dyno every time Great Build tho Tom

Big gain from a 2.0 -2.5 and very good gain from a 2.3 head to a 2.5 , you cant port the 2.0 to flow what the 2.3 stock head flows and same from a 2.3 to a 2.5 Very usable gain from 2500 to 7500 + Tom

I Build a lot of these 2.0 , 2.3 , 2.5 , I have a 2.0 with 2.5 head SCCA legal 11.1 compression , stock2.5 intake manifold , stock Focus TB ( killing us ) no port work , stock valves , crower stg3 cams making 205 whp With ITB like you have if you hit the 220 whp mark with the 2.0 head the 2.5 head would add 10-15 whp to that maybe more because of the higher flowing ITB , where the header bolts to the 2.5 head is the same as the 2.0 so you wouldnt need to change the header , the intake is MUCH bigger and would need addressing Tom Tom

I for sure would of chosen the head off the Ford Fusion 2.5 , Great Build tho ! Tom

What head are you going with ? Tom

Your getting a lot of oil into that runner on the intake , the head runner looks clean but not sure if thats the same runner in the head as the black looking ITB runner ? Its oil you can see a good bit of wet oil where the intake seals , where is all the oil coming from ? Why not do a complete 2.5 ? Tom
