I circled the problem areas. I circled the "hot air" problem he has twice. He might as well just not have an intercooler with the piping going right over the engine...:nonono:

the 2 closest maps i could find, never seen or heard of a TD05 12G.. just a quick calc. estimated power of 150HP on a 2.0L with 6PSI

no where near the efficiency range of either of those turbos

its does..why?

are you confused? read my signature.

yes thats forged internals and T3 super 60 turbo running at 10PSI. yes i have maxed out the stock cams. yes im faster than you. yes its a zetec. :troutslap::troutslap::troutslap:

Edit: BTW did you ever take our advice and get some larger injectors, MAF, and tunning?

The intercooler is out in the open. This is a major problem. I know it's expensive to do it properly, and in no way am I trying to say HAHAHAH look at that car or anything like that. It needs work. Try and find an SVT front bumper and some mesh to cover that thing...and your intercooler piping shouldn't be traveling over the valve cover like that. It defeats the purpose of the intercooler :nonono:

nice... you really like that hks

I have a LOT of questions to ask you.

First, SVT racing clutch? Oh yeah? which one? part numbers please.

Second. Tein S-Tech racing springs? As far as I know the Focus had a completely different suspension setup as compared to the contour, how did you fabricate this setup? Do you have pics?

Third - I had no idea that Jack Roush himself had made a Turbocharger manifold for the Silvertop Zetec, thats impressive. :rolleyes:

5 psi?!?! why did you put the turbo on? you could have gotten similar gains from basic bolt ons, like cams, injectors, pulleys, header, a simple intake and a tune. That Turbo setup is so incredibly inefficient. But please, prove me wrong with some dyno sheets.

Fourth, B&M short throw never existed for the 95-97 contour. The 98-00 contours had the Cable shifter MTX-75. the 95-97 had a rod shifter setup, B&M only made one for the cable shifter. Buying the part and realising it wont fit, does not constitute as a mod.

the manifold came for a focus...next N/A on your car is slow, plus I always wanted turbo. putting a turbo on a zetec does make a big difference dude.

Focus manifolds don't fit on the Contour? Oilpans are different? :confused:

no no, the focus manifolds will fit the headers would require modification on the down pipe, but the turbo manifolds will bolt right on, I can believe that. http://turbokits.com/focus_turbo_kits.html



DUHH putting a turbo on any car DOES make a difference, I never contested such information, but the concept that I was throwing at you you completely bypassed. Running a turbo obviously gives power gains, the more efficient the piping design the more effective the turbo is going to be, and only at 5psi? seems like a waste of time and money. The way the kit is designed, with the size of your intercooler, your turbo is forcing extremely hot air into into the motor. At 5 psi the power gains probably are only marginal, what im trying to say is you are probably hardly making any more than 150 WHP, and im being generous. N/A these motors can put down serious numbers, Cosworth designed the motor, they put down some respectable numbers without doing forced induction on the Zetec. Im guessing you spent about 2 grand setting this turbo up.

I want a turbo too, but if im going to dump a lot of cash into Forced induction, not ghetto rig everything and think that bigger means better. But alas, a turbo is not on my list of priorities, doing well in my college courses is on my list of priorities, my zetec tour I have rebuilt from the dead with the help of a few others. I spent very little on the car and very little in repairing it, its been a reliable daily drive ever since. I plan to eventually get a fun car, and retire the zetec tour as a winter beater. Probably next year.

Furthermore, you still haven't explained the suspension, Shifter, and over abundance of "SVT" acronyms. Im still curious.

dude if i spent 2 grand on my turbo kit I would had supercharge it....i spent about 600 not include the blow of valve.... now on ebay they have tein springs for the focus. I bought 2 sets of them...and when I put the spec stage 1 clutch in was about 1 year about.. I order it from a preformance clutch here in nashville.. dude I went thou 4 clutches then..plus I got that b&m custom from a friend that use it work for them. i paid 267.00
 
This thread smells fishy......... Like........

Something doesnt seem right about the parts he has.... But im no expert I guess....
