Notice the placement of certain things, very close to the Zetec. After working on it I couldn't help but feel I was working on a Zetec. I wonder if the manufacturers took notes from each other? After all the 4G63 has been around since the late 80s. Dicuss.

I see the air filter box leading somewhere. Throttle body is where the silver pipe (right on the side of the valve cover) is going to. Airbox is attached to the MAF, to a pipe, to the turbo. This is probably the best route for anyone thinking about a turbo on the Zetec. Overflow is stock.

If the zetec was it would handle alot more. 96' ATX Zetec- stock 96' ATX Zetec- Modded Kenwood KDC-319 5.75"-2 MTX 12's Roady XT Custom door panels Mystique Cluster/oil pressure Getting repainted(in primer) Pre98 Lip SE skirts Mystique front lip dingless badgeless

I have so badly wanted to see someone go all out on a zetec motor and squeeze as much power as possible out of it. 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?
