MAT1800 Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 Your making me all jelous playing with your new upgrades. Not got mine yet !!! Westfield have still not got my ECU and expect it to take around another 10 days before it arrives from MBE !!! If you don't remember I had to purchase an ECU aswell, as my car currently has the stadard Ford one. Really is starting to drag now, how long does it take to manufacture/post an ECU !! At least 10 days.. I guess But it's well worth it, or it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAT1800 Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 Can someone give their verdict on the graph then, cos it means very little to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappa Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Jack said that he has different cams in his (1800?) Kerry, can you post another copy of yours here to compare. Looks like more horses in Jack's, not sure about the torque tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack T Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Mat without sounding patronising Red line is BHP, Green is torque. I believe but may be wrong the smoother the red line the better, and the higher it goes the better Apart from that and the lines looking pretty, thats as much as i know Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Graph looks about right for a 1.8 Zetec on TB's. Torque curve is nice and flat and peaks at what looks like 123/124ft/lb's in a nice place, and power at about 155bhp looks to be right on the money. Over 100ft/lb's of torque available from just over 3000rpm is OK as well, although if you have the time/money/inclination, I'd see if you could improve that delivery a bit lower down the rev range. All in all looks to be pretty much spot on, nicely in line with 1.8 Speedsport spec. Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smoother and flatter the torque curve the better. Power (red) line looks nice and smooth, with no large peaks or troughs right through the rev range. The car will be smooth to drive and will pull like a train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
