1st whats the base line power for a 2.0 duratech with auto tranny? 2nd after installing my sct xcal2 i lost hp/torque before my tune is this normal? 3rd what sparkplugs should i use now that the n2o system is working? and does any one know of a company that makes a fuel pressure regualtor/fuel rail for a dura tech? thank you sorry so long ive been trying to post for a few weeks but wasnt able so now that i can i have lots to ask
 
um stock power for a d20 is 136/136 (hp/tq) i dont think you need better plugs, you could try using copper plugs, and any a/f regulators work for the focus from 05, dont think pre 04 used same wiring

This is kinda scary dude, saying you already installed nitrous but don't even know what your baseline power was? You're not street racing the local punk kids in Honda's are you?

sorry...didnt explain myself...i got the work done at a shop in vegas i had thye car tuned with the following...cosworth cai/header/focussport exhaust and the sct tuner...first run from the baseline with the sct installed i losted 6hp 11tq after some timing and fuel i gain 12hp and 9 tq. Now after driving around with that for a while i needed more speed so in came the zex wet kit what i was asking whats the factory specs on the car since i bought it at a dealer auction i had no idea what hp to expect. any info regarding my tune just call 702-736-9459(mild2wild) that did it and speak to mike. sorry for any misunderstanding

still have not had the chance to put on with the spray but the 50 shot feels good and the 75 at the track felt even better 50 for everyday and 75 at the track actually right now im trying to get a hold of a cossie pistons/rods/bearing to be safe but i found a better price with crower rods and je pistons for 1200 plus installation
 
Ford's new returnless EFI doesn't use a fuel pressure regulator. There is a fuel pressure/fuel temp sensor that is on the center of the fuel rail, and that tells the computer to regulate fuel pressure by varying the voltage to the fuel pump.

I didn't see a fuel pressure regulator conversion on Massive's site. I'd think you'd need a whole lot of new things including fuel pump assembly, return fuel lines, new EFI program, and so forth.

JE is good... but if you could i would recommend Eagle rods... i believe they are a devision of ARP... and ARP has a name all their own.

yes the key there is 5 SPEED....i have a slowomatic but if it counts i peaked at 163 hp and 159tq right before the engine shift to the next gear....but i measure my overall power since i have an automatic the powerband pretty much stays the same and the torque converter keeps the tq equal thoughout the power band.....:)
