I am planning on getting the stage 2 Web intake camshaft from zxtuner.com. anyways... keeping stock exhaust cam. I am guessing it would be ok keeping stock exhaust cam. Also I was wondering exactly where I could fine my ecu code. I looked behind glove box all I found was the stock alarm box. I also looked behind passenger kick panel. I know its under power steering reservoir but where is it in interior? Last question. early 2k Focus intake manifold. Anyone know if the Focus manifolds bolt to our blocks? What about their EGR etc. Thanks, Matt

ECU should be on passenger side sorta behind the glove box with a bracket on it. Have to remove bracket to see the code. The intake manifold should bolt up. If it has EGR port or some crap on it, I'm sure you could just block it. Too bad all cougars have VCT, EGR rocks!

You'll have to disable the VCT though. taken from Afterhours on NECO I'm asumming he knows what hes talkin about...I don't have to worry about VCT though IonNinja 2005 Saturn ION-2 Sedan 1996 Ford Contour GL - Collecting dust...Zetec project anyone?

Its on FI engines that need the longer exhaust durations. Frank McCoy aka Mod-deth aka Mid Life Crisis aka SVT Doood aka mcgainer is a SCAM ARTIST Pre98 Zetec - Some Mods

The only problems that I've heard of is that the FRPP intake needs the mounting holes opened up a little. BTW, you would have to block off the EGR port on the intake.

Not sure if space/placement issues will be any problem. Frank McCoy aka Mod-deth aka Mid Life Crisis aka SVT Doood aka mcgainer is a SCAM ARTIST Pre98 Zetec - Some Mods
