What did you do to your BG(part 8)

[Racerboy]

some other stuff you might want to consider for a nice dd is an s/r ecu, udp, and imo the iceman (from the s/r) with a modified stock airbox is a nice intake setup for dd, and a short shifter of some sort.



I am pretty tall but the lack of sunroof is why you have lots of headroom. I only have an issue in my car which has a sunroof, my girlfriends ZX2 doesn't have a sunroof and I have plenty of headroom in it.

The only thing with the s/r ecu is that it drops your mpg a little, as it gives it a bit more fuel. Not ideal for a daily driver if you're picky about gas mileage. But if you don't mind losing a little mpg to gain a bit of power, it's a good mod. The others are really good mods. I noticed a small increase in power with my iceman intake, and I am going to be machining a custom udp pretty soon for my car. I have all the materials, just need to make it. Going to be making it smaller than the ford racing/esslinger pulley, but bigger than powder's pulley. Also, another good mod is a borla muffler from a zx2 s/r. It makes the car sound WAY better. Oh, and porting the throttle body helps a bit. How to is on teamzx2.

I'm 100% sure Matt will have a reply to the suggested Short throw shifter that goes like this:

"**** NO! ****ing piece of **** short throw shifters are complete ****."

AFAIK, Atomic does not like short shifters. Most likely he will put some crazy shift knob that looks like a dildo on the stock shifter, that way he can shift and steer with his right hand simultaneously, while blowing kisses to random people with his left hand.

Lmao

S/R ecu requires premium, does it not? **** putting premium in a slow car. also **** short shifters.

lol. short shifters are the worst.

I don't think you guys understand how much I DON'T want to work on this thing.

Does not require premium but will benefit from it

Afaik the s/r ecu gets the same mpg as the others because it is only tuned for hard acceleration/ wot. But I could be wrong.
I didn't bring up the borla(although I agree it is a very good mod) because they are relatively hard to find, and require a bit of work to install.
And porting takes some time and work too.
Side note, do you have your own lathe or access to one or something? I have thought about making my own, but I've never done groves for that type of belt. Is there special tooling for it?

That's why I only suggested things that take 5 mins to install (minus the sts)

Sent my vj11 in to the machine shop to get bored out about so it will match Bpt mani

I probably could have done that for you, how much they charging you?

My buddy had an '00 s/r, and he said he got 28 mpg with the s/r ecu, and then he tried a standard ecu, and got a best of 32 mpg, in the under the same conditions. (highway miles) I myself haven't gotten an s/r ecu, so I can't say for sure. (I don't need one, as I have an sct tuner.)

And yeah, I have access to an entire machine shop at college, and I also have access to my grandpa's old lathe. I'm still doing some research on actually making underdrive pulleys, but afaik, you don't need special tooling to make underdrive pulleys. At least for the zetec. Other motors (the bp, and many others) might need special tooling if they need a keyway on the pulley.

Don't worrie I have another one you can do lol ill drop by tomorrow

I'm going to make one so short, it's in all gears at the same time. I'll mail it to you.

Waiting for Ian to post something in here....

Chick car...lol...

doesn't seem worth it. like, at all. I mean, maybe if I found one super cheap?

UDP and intakes and stuff are nice, but it seems like I'd have to go to Escort forums to buy stuff that's not eBay garbage and I'd rather chew glass

sickkkkkkkkkkk

duh.

that's not ebay junk, and it's not on the escort forums.

[atomicEGT]

I found those on eBay, I didn't know they were legit though.

Swapped winter tires on and got rid of the stupid rubber accordion shift boot for one from an MX3. Much better.

Also, not gonna bother with an exhaust on this thing unless it rots out- I'm okay with how it sounds.
