Zetec help
 
Been having problems with the ZVH, so I've decided to build a zetec for the car, first hurdle is where to the pipes on the picture go to?

2 to the fuel pressure regulator on my setup, the others probably brake servo and fuel vapour recirculation, you can plug them.

Thanks alga, how have you set up the breather system?

alga 30th December 2013 10:52 PM

Yes. I have a small filter on the valve cover breather. The bottom part of the system is standard: a metal tube coming around the back of the engine connected to the PCV valve and the intake manifold with short pieces of rubber tubing.

The breather on the valve cover (air intake for the PCV system) leaks oil a bit, I suspect because of surges during cornering, so I plan on adding some catch can there.

1. Is brake servo, just needs blocked
3. Looks like the other end should push straight onto the fuel pressure regulator
I wasn't sure about 2. What is the fuel vapour recirc system actually for?

I'm also planning on using a zetec on standard inlet and look exactly the same. I'm guessing from a focus as I think the mondeo inlet is slightly different.

Recycle fuel vapor through carbon canister back to fuel system so that it is not lost to atmosphere.

james3004 31st December 2013 08:00 PM

The one below 3 is the one that goes to the fuel pressure regulator.
Yes it's a focus lump 😆
So I can block off 1?
I will link 2 to the ecu
That just leaves 3....do I need to put a recirculation jobbie on?
Also I'm planning on retaining the box on the front of the engine as it doesn't fowl anything an not putting a hole in the back is this a good plan?

Shorty 31st December 2013 09:18 PM

Oh yeah. Not sure about 3 then. I will have a look at mine when I get a chance but mine will probably be missing as yours is.
As far as I'm aware the fuel recirculation thing can be blanked off... Got me thinking now though. .

think 3 must be the fuel recirc the hose on mine is stamped with "caution fuel flammable not repairable"

while I was in the scrap yard yesterday I had a quick look at a focus inlet and both 2 and 3 seem to go to the fuel recirc thingy so they should be ok to blank.
