Should fit, I never liked the idea of ground scraping turbos that have to rely on an electric pump for oil return, to each his own though. But you know what is even more striking to me, why number the pipes if he was welding them himself. Seems to me, he should be able to remember the order of the bends.
Wasnt he using those pictures to demonstrate his fabrication skills?
Amazing how a guy could have a thread with so few pics talking about this epic build that he was "90% done with" back in spring, yet this same guy insisted I posted pics to prove I owned a Ford Escort 6 years ago.
I really love how well he holds grudges too.
FunInNorthDakota. Because I am a silly noob.
This is from august, and he was referring to a post I made in april. WOW.
Oh well, here is his build thread. Since that is obviously the best way to find pics of his 12 second contour http://www.contour.org/ceg-vb/showthread.php?t=38921
No amazing fabrication or modification to the chassis in there either. Looks just like someone ASSEMBLING a 3 liter contour with a simple custom turbo setup.

Sorry this is a long term project guys, I guess you guys have all done this before so you know more than me. It will get done when it gets done I work fulltime and have a life and other hobbies. I guess I won't bother posting future progress as it will just be made fun of and ridiculed. So k you guys say what you want it won't hurt my feelings its the internet.

I wont say it is impossible to get into 12s, you maybe could do it for all I know. What I will say is that the way into the 12s isnt just throwing more horsepower at it and putting in the standard built transmission. That has been done over and over again.
You need to be doing something different to be taken seriously when you say you are gonna get into the 12s.

12s are not THAT difficult. I almost did it with some sticky tires and a simple notrous setup on my 2.5L cougar. My brother just bought a tour with a 3L. If he'd let me treat his car like it was my own for one night at the track I'm almost positive I could get a 12.9X out of it.

No you can't. You either need heavy bolt-ons or FI w/ a tune or nitrous...

"almost".... being the operative word in that sentence. and if u treated the car "like it was ur own", u WILL break a bunch of things. guaranteed.
His personal best is 13.2, I think he knows what he's doing.

And there are several people on here that have gone 13.2...but still no 12 sec pass
BAD SVT
Addicted CEG'er
yeah. i'm sure
. he was simply fortunate. these cars arent meant to be treated that way. anyone who's owned them knows that. besides, the best setup IMO for better ET times are very low power at take off(aka stock), and spray(nos) while rolling. 13.2 i'd imagine wont be that hard.FIND
Addicted CEG'er
yeah. i'm sure
IMO you still have the axle problem with these. Not a lot you can do to make up for those pathetic input splines.

His was also with a 2.5.... My 3L with bolt-ons is already as quick as his car with a 50 shot & custom tune... and my tour has a couple more bolt-ons to go! Stickies, Spray, & a more aggressive tune will hit 12's... I know he could have hit 13.1 with his Cougar... I believe he hit 13.208 or something close... with plain svt uim & lim... EH'd uim & bored out lim will be better flow for the Nitrous!
As long as the Tour stays in shape & I get the extra cash, He will get my Tour in the 12's within the next 6 months I would say...
Hell Aaron, Give me your Nitrous kit while your building your 3L, (Since your Cougar is off the road until then) I'll order stickies within the next 2 paychecks, & we'll take her to the track!! See what we get out of her...

LOL, I just wanted to see what people's comments would be.. Won't be deterred by them... It will happen... and I have a spare car to drive... So everyone that CAN break into the 12's & say they're scarred to break things... Pony up! I will :laugh:
Just give it a little more time guys

make sure you record it so people can actually watch the run and see it for themselves. otherwise people will be skeptical that the time slip is actually from a different car.LOL, I just wanted to see what people's comments would be..
