Unfortunately there was no AWD Contour. Maybe a Mondeo but I've never seen one.

they made the mondeo 4x4 only up to 96. and they didnt make too many of them. if you could buy one cheap and have it shipped over i bet you could have an awd contour with little modification.

Most mildly modded Evos are around 350-400 hp.

I would say think again... sure the parts at the wheels would be a pretty much direct bolt on, but Im pretty sure the chassy itself would be rediculiously different.

Pretty cool comparison. They may look similar but boy is there a difference.

Whats the best way and realitively cheap way to get 250-300 HP out of the Zetec 4cyl? I figured a new intake, what about a turbo or super? Any ideas?
1999 Contour SE, Zetec 4cly. CAI with stock air box, velocity stacks on CAI, optimized HP exhaust headers.
Goal: HP somewhere around 175-225. Stock look. Nice interior.

Turbo and with that: full exhaust, intake, fuel (pump and injectors), and a tune.

What do you recommend for a turbo? Along with fuel parts? For the new air intake, do you recommend a cold air intake? Or should I go with the self mod-ed intake that SleepZ posted? Whats the difference? (besides the cold air) Whats the power increase with it? How bout a underdriven pully system? New cam gears?
I am looking to do this one part at a time type thing. When I get the $ saved up I will buy it and then install. I will probably be doing the turbo last. Oh one last thing, whats the increase in fuel economy with this stuff?

I agree with everyone else. The only affordable way to get 200-220HP is either with a turbo or supercharger.
For now, the easy cheap upgrades are...
SlepperZ intake
K&N replacement Filter
Crank UDP
For power you would want either a...
Jackson Racing (JRSC) Focus SVT M62 Supercharger
OR
GT28RS Turbocharger
OR
T3 Super60 Turbocharger
All of those will get you into the 200+ wheel HP region. The JRSC M62 supercharger would be the easiest to install. It is practically a bolt on, especially for your '99 Contour. They can also be found in the "For Sale" secions on the Focaljet forums and Focus Fanatics forums.
Currently putting a turbo on a Contour is a DIY project. Myself and two others are working on putting a tubo on their 'tours. I'm hoping to get a header adapter and downpipe made up so that others will have a much easier time.
You will still need 42# injectors, a Mustang GT or Lightning Mass Air Flow sensor, upgraded fuel pump, and proper tuning to make it all work.
Also, welcome to the CEG!
Please read through all of the stickies at the top of this forum and use the Search feature. All of these questions have been asked before.
Later,
