Hey everyone,
I'm excited to be part of this forum. Hopefully I can get some answers to some of my pressing questions
First of all I have a 1998 Mercury Mystique GS. It has the 2.0L Zetec with DOHC. I am interested in beggining to MOD but I want to know if its worth it. I would like to eventually turbo my engine but want to maximize performance while keeping everything "street legal"... ahem... SO how much power can I realistically expect to get out of my engine after its all tricked out? Lets say if I dropped like... 3-4 G's into the car? New headers, exhaust system, Sprockets, pulley, Air filter, Chip and Turbo?
Is it better for me to wait and drop in a 2.5L contour engine, and mod that? Or stick with my little 2.0L baby. Will a 2000 Contour Engine even Fit, and could I keep my existing parts like the alternator, starter, A/C comp and such?
Just for fun, what is the highest HP reading you've had on your 2.0L Zetec and how many mods have you put in?
THANKS GUYS
