Zetec 2.0 mods & questions

[Wynand]

Ozzy, the problem is my diff ratio with the 4AGE and the lack of torque below 5000rpm.
My town/city has no traffic lights but only traffic circles (about 40 odd) and sometimes you have to accelerate out of harms way with strangers that really do not know how to drive trough multi lane circles happens to be in town. Same apply for some ingenious locals ...

My daily runner is an Audi A4 TDI and many times I had close calls when I had to get out of harms way and the engine just making induction noise without going before the turbo get on the boil. Usually it is just flooring it to get away and a gear change would take to long and shit may happens.

With the AGE blacktop going 125kph on peak HP it translates to about 3900rpm in 2nd at 60kph - our city speed limits - and usually one goes into a traffic circle at less than that and to get out of harms way, that warrants a down shift to 1st gear!! and try to do that at 50kph

This is why I decided on a Zetec 2.0. Ratios of type 9 box and Sierra 3.7:1 ratio diff is a match made in heaven and the Zetec has a lot of torque, much lower down the scale of the 4AGE.
This can only translate to motoring bliss
