roboboyo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just a quick question, once you got your 2ltr set up with the right running gear, did you find it pretty quick? because i m a bit confused, i have my 2ltr running on 16's managment, apart from tb, and it can easily reach a ton, and there seems to be more in her, plus she pulls nice and quick!!!!!! How better can it get! sorry to bombard you with this, but hearing that it would not run right on 1.6 ecu has puzzled me, she idles smooth, and seems to have plenty of power, albeit first gear could be beter, but once into 2nd, she pulls nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escort Si-130 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Although the zetec is a more modern engine I still prefered the RS2000 I4. I just remember when I did the conversion from 1.6cvh to I4 RS2000 and the first time I went for a drive in it was like WTF. It pulled like a fcuking train. I remember I had even wheelspin changing to second gear at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mexico Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Am I right ib saying that a 2.0 will run on a 1.6 ecu? Temporarily. Wat abit the pats, or is that just when u fit the 2.0 ecu that it becomes a problem? I'm new to this info on the engine swap lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Mexico Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 But it would run on a 1.6 ecu then? Not very well but it would still run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Mexico Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Obviously 2.0 ecu's are getting harder to find by the day but would a 1.8 ecu run better or even a 130 spec ecu untill a 2.0 was sourced up?
