bonjour,
I have a Mondeo ST 200 (your contour svt) and I want to swap a 3.0L.
my car is with msds headers, Y-pipe w/o cat from shoshop and a reverse air filter from msds.
the std hp for the ST 200 is with eec-v ford computer 205 hp. with all the mod I did I dynoed at 247 hp.the problem with the french ST 200 is the final gear : In france we have to pay a tax (******* politicians) for hp.it is a ratio betewn rpm versus hp so the final gear is 3.46/1 and the car is theoricaly able to 260 km/h (161 mph) but in fact the top speed with this gear is with the 4 gear only.
because we are not use with your 3.0L my questions are :
is there differents 3.0l?
the best one?
can I keep heads with a custum inlet manifold?
(I already built one w/o secondaries for my 2.5 with one tb per cylinder like on world rally cars + 10 hp)
can I keep my msds headers with 3.0l heads?
do I have to change sensors If I keep heads?
is there some HC pistons for 3.0l heads?
and more info
thanks for your help and sorry for my english : I am french.
regards
jacques (say jack)
