Dumb question

[ContourCote10]

So, ive been looking at intakes on ebay and have found some extremely cheap Focus short rams. My question is: Is there a difference between the Focus's SOHC and DOHC intakes? They have just about as many for both. The SOHC ones are MUCH cheaper, and if they would fit i would love to get one.

The SOHC versions are for the SPI engine, not the Zetec. it might fit but i really doubt it. just get the one for the Zetec (DOHC).

By SOHC intake do you mean this?

Or this?

If so, I'm very sure it will work. It might take a bit of stretching for the filter and/or coupler, but I think that's what a friend and I both have. You can always get a different coupler or a different filter or a different breather hose! I have some of that blue breather hose pictured on the bottom pic, and it works REALLY well and NEVER kinks. It is very stiff.

I got my Focus ZX3 SOHC short ram intake off ebay for $10

Just have to heat up some of the rubber parts to make them fit.

Yeah, the one i saw was the bottom one for like $10! Which of the two should i go with?

Either one of the two pictured above will suffice.

Bottom one has a better breather hose. Go with that one. Sourcing out a replacement breather hose can be tough...I have dealt with it personally.

i would say the bottom one

It is a give and take though. The top one doesn't have a hole in the 90 degree elbow which he wont fill because he has a 2000 with no separate IAT sensor. It's a matter of either finding better breather hosing or buying a new 3inch elbow.

hmm well i think ill go with the bottom one..its cheaper...and an elbow will be much easier to replace. Thanks guys
