b1g_dav3 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 90 on a diesel is about 3400 rpm if memory serves, think running out of puff at 4700 in 5th at 120ish :-P 80 would be about 3150 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambooka Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just tried it on the motorway while overtaking 70 2,500 80 2,800 90 3,200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slupanter Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm doing 4300rpm at 90 in 5th. Seems too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nay ZS Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Unfortunately the lack of 6th gear doesn't help and the way it is geared but your revs are right for a petrol ZS. You wouldn't believe it but me old 1.6 Clio was spinning even faster at motorway speeds than the Fiesta does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambooka Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yeah a lazy deisel engine doesn't fair much better without 6 gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Cheung Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hey, Odd question but what RPM are you pulling in your Zetec S at 70, 80 and 90mph? I remember it was about 3000 at 70mph on my petrol? I cant remember any higher im afraid but your revs dont sound too dissimaliar to what mine was like at that speed too :) if anything, i would only go as far as to say that it might have been a couple of hundred revs lower.

I heard the ZS gear box was different to the metal's, is this true? On a side note other than the BHP is there any difference between ZS and Metal (S1600) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job on your ZS by the way. Your specs look great. I had the red interior lighting on my Titanium. How easy is it to add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's the same gear box just been configured differently so it gets you to 60 over a second quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note other than the BHP is there any difference between ZS and Metal (S1600) Different air box, twin exit exhaust, black 17" alloys, leather interior.

Very easy, you have bulb holders under the passenger and driver foot-wells, just plug bulbs in. Although some aren't wired up so it's just a case of luck really. I haven't done the ambient lighting as of yet, not sure if I will if honest but may look in to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
