where's the tach?

those gauge faces look VERY similar to the ones I have on the cougar.
I have no clue about wiring installs, especially for the dash gauges.
It's possible the audio/electrical forums have some info that you could search.

My car never came with a Tach I had to have one put in, it's sitting in my room at the moment, when I had my heater coil replaced...havent had the chance to reinstall it...

But thank you I will look in the audio section and search! Then i'll go search for a shop that maybe able to install it...Can you believe this thing came with not one set of instructions!!!

Yup, My car is a Zetec! Hoping to swap in the 2.5 at the end of August


BTW I got the Gauges installed, Lol Beware of the time it takes!!! Took me 2hrs, and 1hr59m was just trying to take off the panels & screws Took 2 seconds to wire it...I also did a debadging of my trunk... I'll post pics in the Picture section tomorrow or Saturday if the sunshines.

just take the wires, twist them together and stick them in the cigarette lighter

I'll have to remember that, I thought the original 2.5 just slipped in???

I wired the gauges from my parking Lights hehehe, Not sure if I have enough wire to go to the Lighter...wait a min. is that even safe ?!?!?!

from what I understand the front subframe is different between the engines. Since the FSVT is a Zetec that should go right in, or at least I think so

Ok, kool...I'll look into the FSVT engine then.

** searches for the SVT Focus specs on Google **

Hm, after seaching I did some math, the FSVT engine is a.. 2.1L Engine? Since it is 80hp Per Liter? With the math, Ugh 80*2.13 = 170.4hp....That's not to bad actually! Then I figure with the new cat back and Intake systems, I'll get the 200hp like the original CSVT?
