I know Hector had a roots style supercharger on his contour. IIRC, it was a jackson. It did require some modification. He'll chime in im sure.

Funny. I just e-mailed him to get the video of his SC'd Zetec. Thinkin' about doing something similar to my daughters Zetec. So far my choices are the Focus Sport kit ($3000) or the Jackson Racing unit ($2600). Powerworks & Procharger are just askin' too much money at about $3800 each.
It has also been my good fortune to come across a supercharger interest check on the teamzx2.com website. That ZX2 kit will likely be more adaptable to our platform than the Focus kits. I e-mailed & posted about adapting the kit for the Cougar/Contour/Mystique platforms, but we'll have to wait & see if the developers think it'll be worth the extra effort to make a kit for the CDW27 Zetecs.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Not very hard.....fuel managment was the biggest deal. On my 2000 3 things from the kit were modded.....the bracket that supports the intake manifold/supercharger, the TB bracket (eliminated cruise for hood clearance), and EGR "block off plate" since I didn't have an EGR.

nice pic. i like your engine bay.
my 00 mondeo has the focus 2ltr engine in it, (has the black plastic cam cover)dont know if you got that type of engine in the US, so i'm wondering if the clearance at the back of the engine and the bulkhead would be sufficient, looks like it would.
any of you guys with a sc fitted an oil separator, if so what make was it?

I'm sure that Hector's cam cover was black...before he painted it.
The clearance should be the same. There was some discussion that the Contour had less clearance than the Focus, but Hector proved that wrong. 
For and oil seperator, I just bought a water seperator meant for a air compressor. Kinda like this one...
They are cheap and work as well as any of the shiny "automotive" oil seperators.
