200WHP (wheel horsepower?) Turbo. From Seawulf's sig... Originally posted by Seawulf:

He has a Cougar, but it is still a Zetec. In other words, about 9psi (it will vary depending upon turbo) and with an intercooler.
BTW, hi newbie! Where are you located? Also, please use the search feature in the future. These topics have been covered quite a few times. 
Later,

Your tranny will need to be beefed up and running 200WHP will cut the life of your Zetec down significantly. Personally, I wouldn't run more than 160WHP on a Zetec with stock internals. That is about 150% the rated output. More than that and you are asking for problems. If you are looking for a reliable 200WHP, I would get a built MTX75 transmission, forged rods, and forged pistons. BTW, there are no turbo kits for the Contour. It is all DIY. You can read more over in the Forced Induction forum. Like this.HTH, BP

There ARE turbo kits.. one, to be exact..
the ADC Turbo kit comes in one variety, but talk of a smaller kit (less $$) is going on...
Anyway... just wanted to point out that there ARE kits... just... none for the Zetec (as this thread is about)

There are lots of Focus's running 200whp for several years now with no problems. Clutch and tranny mods are only needed if you're gonna flog the car a lot. Otherwise stock is fine.
Reading Corkey Bell's book, it says doubling the stock hp will only add around 20% extra stress to the engine. At least turbo'd because a quick spooling turbo will push most of it's power down low in the rpm band where the engine can handle it easier.
Easiest way to go FI is to do what LoCo did and buy the Focus JRSC kit and install it. The only problem is it won't get you anywhere near 200whp without serious mods. Virtually any turbo will get you 200whp with just a good exhaust.
It's all about tuning and how you drive it. If you run to the redline every shift and drive like you stole it, it won't last. If you just drive semi easy, it will last as long as most engines last...minus 20-25%.
But with used medium mileage zetec engines avaliable as low as $350, spares are easy to find.

Wow, I was unaware. It's good to know that the Zetec can handle that much power with stock pistons/rods. Thanks again for the info Seawulf!

It's not for the Zetec so who cares.
