But will it fit the CSVT?

doubtful, the turbo'd cougar isnt news i'm sure someones checked into it by now, iirc the cougar has a ****load more engine comp. space

They don't really have much more space than us at all, same engine in a very similar engine bay. If somebody with a Contour wanted a turbo bad enough, all they would have to do is pony up the $$$....that's how the guy in the Cougar has his turbo. Although packaging a turbo in a Contour will be tight, it almost definitely can be done.

I honestly doubt that.

I heard about a blower from Vortech for the Contour. Can anyone tell me if this is for the SVT, the normal 2.5, or the Zetec?

They say it's for the SVT, but it works on the regular Duratec as well.
The Cougar has no more engine space than the Contour.

A blower? Explain!
Re: turbo...for duratec....yes - 11/04/01 07:21 AM
supercharger
Re: turbo...for duratec....yes - 11/04/01 01:52 PM
Turbocharger on a SVT Duratec? Check this out 10:25:1 compression+ boost= NEW ENGINE 
Now maybe on a regular Duratec, but I wouldn't risk it on the CSVT Duratec. Also where is the intercooler going to go? I think its nuts to run a turbo/S/C in our cars w/o one and yes I know that people are doing it but whats the life expectancy for it???? At minimum you need some type of scoop/vents to get some of that hot air out.

no scoop needed... use water/air intercooler

Explain...
I think either without an intercooler is risky on a SVT myself...
Re: turbo...for duratec....yes - 11/05/01 04:03 AM
ahhh...a belt driven turbo is supercharger..
Re: turbo...for duratec....yes - 11/05/01 04:28 AM
I'm pretty sure the Turbo produces quite a bit more heat than a Supercharger.

Actually read the latest series of "Suck Squish Bang Blow" in SCC mags... VERY inlighting!

No matter what (2) things that can hurt ANY engine...
1. HEAT, that has nowhere to go w/o some type of vent/scoop/etc
2.anything that forces compression into the engine, turbo or S/C creates even MORE compression, thats why those cars equipped with them have like 8:1 compression.
3. Also ABUSE w/o any R&D, thats scary

ne one know the #'s it puts out? hp/trq

A 99+ Cougar is nothing more than a Contour Coupe ... the engine bays are identical!
Re: turbo...for duratec....yes - 11/09/01 10:10 PM
answer to all of your compression needs. Though it does cost money, Mirko Racing has lower compression pistons for sale. That is the ultimate compression fix.
