Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction 1995 Bi-Turbo Mystique

Even if you could squeeze a second turbo on the back bank it would cook the hell out of everything back there, especially the alternator.

This idea has been hashed over so many times and the conclusion has been put forward time and time again that there are no benefits of a bi-turbo setup over the current ADC aka Streetflight, single turbo setup.

Why hasn't there been any other companies step up to the plate and make a turbo kit for the contour/2.5/3.0 motors?

The 2.5 and 3.0 motors are still alive and kicking though. And yes, I hear what you are saying about cheap.

Why does ADC aka streetflight continue to bring in so many customers continually if there isn't a demand? But yes, there are a billion civics out there. I just think that is someone else stepped up. More people would have turboed 2.5's and 3.0's.

They bring so many customers because there the only ones!!!!!

Come on now, if there the only ones doing it of course its going to seem like a lot of people are getting turbo kits.


Take a look at the bigger picture...contours only make up, if that, 1% of the after market.

Now im not disputing the fact that it would be nice to have more than one option, but relisticly here, no one wants to dump money into it...especially sinces its a 10 year old platform that has very limited aftermarket support as is!!

Also, the price of the product is dictated by the supply and demand.

If the demand is there, then more companies would be prone to getting involved, and thus the price drops to be competative...also, ADC, prices are pretty close to there cost if i remember, so there no making much of anyhting off of the kits.

I hope you understand, im not disputing you, in the area that we need more aftermarket, but that an aging discontinued, platform, is not going to have much of an aftermarket form here on out...its not realistic to think other wise.

there was supposted to be another turbo kit comming out, but they droped the program after the prototype was made.

All I am saying is, there are many platforms that are using this motor. And newer cars are made all the time. I just think it sucks that the after market is so limited on this car. In many aspects.

The motors may be the same but the architectures in each different car, vary. Hence making one kit to fit every possible car with a Duratec is not possible.
