Im sure you have hector, lol. Im sure you could get a 4G63 in a contour engine bay easy, it almost looks like the tour's engine bay is better, so lots of room for work... But my question... What trannie will work? 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

The real question would be if you could mate the AWD system on.

I know someone who is tinkering with making a contour AWD, knowing this guy, he can do it.

Mits built this as a rally style car who better to copy than Cosworth. Possibly it was the reverse and Cosi based their design off the Mits.

Originally posted by AliasJerk: I have so badly wanted to see someone go all out on a zetec motor and squeeze as much power as possible out of it. Ohsigmachi will be the first to do so. Forged and coated everything, CGI block, FRPP head with turbo cams, all connected up to a GT3071 turbo. TurboTom on the Focus forums hit 730HP with a similar combination. There is sooo much power to be made with a built Zetec. The stock Zetec was just never made to make any decent power. Powder rods and hyper pistons are for cost savings. Cheap and reliable. Just look at the insane amounts of power made out of stock turbo 4 cylinder engines. Heck even the old dodge 2.5L SOHC turbo II engines are pushing 30-35psi. I can't wait to see what the MazdaSpeed6's 2.3L turbo engine is capable of. Personally, I'm still looking for a MTX Zetec Contour in good condition to follow in Osigmachi's footsteps. I already have a new Zetec and MTX-75 waiting to be built up. BP Ben ---'96 Contour GL * Zetec ATX * Tan on Black steelies--- +++JRSC M62 Under Construction+++ My big-a$$ mod list.

Which will require around 30 psi. Engine right away, even built up, is going to liability. The car doesn't hook up, so you have to put slicks or drag radials. You start breaking driveshafts. It would go on and on... Unless you have ALOT of disposable income doing all of this.... With all that being said....I would love to see someone do this. Not 500 HP but a 300-350 HP turbo Zetec. It would be reliable, wouldn't have to run too much boost, and more than likely would be faster than a Duratec Contour with the same power.
