I have a 2002 ZX2...was wondering if there is anything i could do to increase the performance...plugs,wires...etc????


  

roundman -> RE: increase performance in a ZX2 (4/22/2004 2:13:15 PM)

suggest a cold air intake and headers or exhaust improvements, plugs and wires don't really add much as far as performance goes as long as they are working OK.


FordZX2 -> RE: increase performance in a ZX2 (4/22/2004 2:14:58 PM)

would the cold air intake replace the current factory air intake??


roundman -> RE: increase performance in a ZX2 (4/22/2004 2:17:34 PM)

generally yes, but I'm not at all familiar with the ZX2, so I don't know where the intake is on them. is the air filter under the hood or does it pull air from the fenderwell area?


FordZX2 -> RE: increase performance in a ZX2 (4/22/2004 2:22:47 PM)

the actual filter is under the hood by the radiator but the vent for it is in front of the drivers side front tire...its part of the front valance from what i can make of it


roundman -> RE: increase performance in a ZX2 (4/22/2004 2:28:39 PM)

in that case, it's already getting cold air from outside the engine compartment. have you thought about changing the filter to a K & N filter? these flow a lot more air than a stock paper type filter and are washable and reusable too. anything that helps the engine get more air in and more exhaust gases out will improve the performance as an engine is nothing more than an air pump. more air you can get in and out, the more fuel you can burn and the more HP you can make. things like low restriction air filters, larger MAF meters, larger throttle bodies, better flowing heads, bigger cams, headers, low restriction exhaust systems all make the engine a more efficient pump.
