Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Performance Going turbo...

Just use the duratec and get the streetflight turbo. To use a zetec, it would be cheaper to buy another contour with the zetec already in there. Also, if using a manufactured turbo kit with a zetec, it would cost a good bit of $$$ as one isn't out currently that bolts right up. It would cost ATLEAST as much as the streetflight w/ intercooler setup does.

turbo toms kit cost 5G's so u might as well get the street flight kit which is also 5G's

Yeah, I wouldn't swap a V6 for a I4. The only Zetec turbo kit is TurboTom's and it puts out 230whp vs 240-250whp for the StreetFlight V6 kit and they cost about the same. May not seem like that big of a difference, but the V6 is a much better flower than the Zetec and with better rods and pistons will respond to boost better than the Zetec will. You could also do a 3L swap/hybrid with the V6 and make even more power. Ultimately, build up what you got and stick with the duratech.
