I spent the afternoon getting up close and personal with a 2001 focus zx3. I have seen posts time and time again about how focus parts wont work. These are my obsevations soley based against my 99 Mystique
Focus intakes wont clear not true we put my CTA on the focus and the focus had hood clearance problems but clears my hood fine this started me looking harder
Focus headers dont clear the radiator not true in fact my car has 1/4" more clearance to the radiator fans
the only problem is the cat mounting flange in fact the ZX3 has a tube header from the factory (should be a cheap mod and maybe where they get the extra 5 hp and 5ft. lbs.)
Engine to fire wall clearence is the same so why wont the jackson racing supercharger work (got me maybe because the contique is no longer in production and nobody mods them anyway they just buy the svt so why try)
drive belt configuration is the same down to the same part# on the belt We put my udp on the focus and used the same shorter belt I was running.
Pro M makes a 70mm maf so I put his stock maf on my car (six wire conection)it ran ok for 5 mins (we were in a hurry) The throttle body was different the focus has a plastic one slightly different configureation but mines atx focus mtx. Coud be worth further investigation.
HMS turbo fits both cars coicidence I think not Please let me know if I'm wrong on that one Terry
As I said these observations are based soley between my car and this ZX3 but it seems to me that there are a whole lot of focus paarts out there that I could be using
I'm not saying they will work for you but if you have a local speed shop that will let you go in the parking lot and match parts to see if they look like they'll work you may be supprised
The Focus is going to try for 15's this evening at the track I think he'll get there
