SLEEMAN Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 no one I know of has, however I have seen it installed on 2.0 zetec powered fiesta mk2, properly nice and works well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 It hasnt arrived yet. I got the manual from the website What do we recon a safe rev limit would be for the zetec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Safe for what? It already has a rev limit so all you can do is reduce that with an aftermarket junk box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mexico Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 About 4k will probably be a good launch depending on grip levels, if ur spining up still, drop it abit and see what it's like. Just sucks when a car is bogging out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already has a rev limit so all you can do is reduce that with an aftermarket junk box.Im not actually sure if mine has a rev limiter built in. Both supersport and myself both use a mondeo 'blob' ecu. And whereas before it would hit the limit at just shy of 7k. The rev counter in both our cars will happily cruise way past that. Not that ive ever had the balls to carry on and rev is that hard anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It has a limit. Probably 7250 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyujinkai Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Depends on the tune/modification to your engine, a standard 1.8 Zetec produces peak power around 6400 and falls away after that,i believe the rev limit is 7K, fast road cams and aftermarket ecu will move the power curve up the rev range a bit, but on standard big-end bolts 7K is still the safe limit. On the very rare occasion that I need to do a start, its in 2nd gear @ 3K but i have never used launch control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
