Re: Paul's Mk2 RS2000 project - Now going ZETEC!

A few things have fallen into place over the last few weeks. I have been after an aftermarket ECU and a Haltech Elite popped up for the right money so I grabbed it. Also included was a WB1 module so I can use the wide band input for initial tuning and long term fuel trim etc. Another "bonus" with the Elite 2500 is the ability to do DBW so that got me thinking ...… and I came up with this using a Toyota Yaris throttle pedal. It's actually quite close to the original pedal sweep and plane so pretty chuffed at that. I was contemplating making it adjustable as the brake / throttle pedal relationship can be a little odd when using a bias pedal arrangement. but this proved to be problematic as it did not secure the pedal as I had hoped so back to the original idea. However minor changes can be made by adding packers to the mounting to fine tune the pedal relationship if I decide too. Just need to add a few more gussets to the bracket and it's as good as done. If for some reason things get too hard the original pedal can slot straight back in  Engine end is slowly coming together as I need to sort out how to drive the quad ITB's but I have an idea......

Thanks Drew. Sometimes I feel I'm only treading water as I keep adding to the list of things to do

Another productive few hours today. Finished off the DBW pedal mount and for the hell of it I made it adjustable Currently it has a total of 20mm of travel fore and aft (not much but it's something) but I may add a rake adjustment also just to increase the variation. I'm not 100% where the brake pedal will sit once assembled with the bias assembly etc so I thought at least I can change the throttle pedal to suit. Another plus for DBW  All that remains is to make the captive nut backing plate to replace the nuts securing the pedal bracket on the inside of the pedal box and then powder coating.

Had a chance to sort out the DBW arrangement with the Yaris pedal and VZ throttle body. After much "googling" I was able to confidently wire it all up and after a little fault finding it works a treat I have removed the butterfly from the throttle body to fit a lever and allow it to drive the quad ITB's. https://youtu.be/4tl05MfXiTI?list=UUVJwuOBFaHmg1F8r4p43N7Q

What and excellent solution paul
What ITB are you using? the engineer is happy with a tuneable ECU?

Hi Robbie https://www.efihardware.com/products/12/throttle-body-pro-race-DCOE-sizes-45mm-to-50mmI have the 45/43/40 which I hope will be OK for the Zetec. I'm looking for 185-200Hp and as the area of the Zetec inlet ports is pretty close to the 40mm I feel these should work. Time will tell...... My Engineer knows the plan so I sure as hell hope he's ok with it plus I'm sure it was stated on my modification paperwork along with all the other modifications.

Yes i myself have been snooping around the eft hardware site also.
I cant see why he wouldnt allow the ecu if the car sits the right emissions testing etc. this thing is really going to be next level when its done.

It’s the ability to prove it meets emissions which is the problem if I have to conform to the engine OEM requirements.

Hey Paul,
So when you are done as part of the registration process you need to get the car properly emissions tested to see if it is ok? I know Nukem in NSW went through this song/dance and got the his zetec across the line but I think he said it took 2 emissions test at $8-900 a pop.

Hi Lee.
At this point all that's required is a basic idle emissions test as stated on my letter of intent from Transport SA. Each is judged on a case by case basis hence each may be different depending on the actual conversion even within the same state - let alone across states.

Interesting. So when it comes time to dyno-ing the car do you have you to do anything to reign it in to make sure it will pass the test. Obviously the goal of authorities is to make sure you modified zetec is no worse than a standard one, correct?

All I’m doing is what my Engineer and the authorities require to pass the modifications.
