Cant quote you a price, but go ask a parts guy, shouldn't be much of a deal to do. Turbo'd Cougar 2.0L w/ 75 shot ... its got some stuff in it ... NOT that fast NOT that furious :P

The Tech guy i talked to said it takes "extensive modifying to get it to fit the focus" and that i would have to drill and slot 9 holes and make a plate to fit the throttle body...that is if i use the stock one. Anyone else know anything about this.I am upset, i was really planning on getting it. I don't have the tools to drill and slot.

The Ford Racing manifold(I don't know if that is the same on Steeda sells) actually bolts right up to a escort ZX2 and contour zetec heads, but requires modification to fit the Ford Racing Focus Cylinder head... the throtle cable and adapter plate for an after market Focus TB is no big either, just use plenty of gasket maker around it. The TPS was a bit of a biyatch though. Ohsigmachi '96 GL MTX Zetec --I don't won't to hurt you, but it's still on my list of things to do.-- View projectSlippery Slope

Maybe i already know what it is, i just call it something different than you guys do. A pic would be even better though Do you guys think Bill Jenkins could help me out with a discount from ford racing if i asked? Just for the throttle body and Intake manifold? Or is that one of those situations where I would have to know him personaly.... Last edited by tourman113; 04/01/03 09:28 PM.
