Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Performance Change of plans - JRSC SVT Supercharger!

Look at what I just won on the FF for sale forums...



It's a Ford Focus SVT JRSC M62 Supercharger. I picked it up for $1300. Not bad considering new it goes for $3100.

I figure that this is a better route to go with my ATX anyway. I'll keep the turbo stuff for when I finally find a MTX Zetec for sale.

I've been checking out the specs on the M62. It flows a maximum of 440CFM at 14,000rpm. That should be good for about 300 crank horsepower.

Until I get a backup car, I'll probably be shooting for about 175WHP.

good luck, after all of the mods hector pulled he only got abotu 160 whp.

hector was running low boost too.... wasn't he only runing 5-7psi?

7-8 psi on the M45 blower.....not the M62.

Yeah, the M45 tops out at 320CFM at 14,000rpm. Or about 220 crank HP.

The M62 will flow an extra 120CFM which work out to an extra 83HP.

Hector, what crank and blower pulleys were you running to get your 6-8psi? I already have the ZXtuner crank UDP. I figure with a 2.6" blower pulley, the blower will hit 10,000rpms at redline. Or about 200-210 crank HP.

I'm also thinking about building my own custom water/methanol injection system.

Change the UDP to the regular stock crank pulley. You will run lower boost with that on. Trust me.

With the JRSC try to find a 3.0 pulley (the SVT JRSC comes with a 3.2) which is the stock pulley for the Zetec JRSC. That will get you 6-7 psi.

I saw that post, some people where asking half of what the guy wanted. I thought to myself while viewing the fourm, "how cool would it be to put that on a Contour?" I guess I'll find out.

Waht do you have to do to the internals of the silver top Zetec to get the power from it... Don't you have to change the lifters or something?

For now...nothing. The Focus guys run 200-225WHP every day on stock internals with the Powerworks M62 supercharger. Seawulf has done the following on stock internals on his turbocharged Zetec Cougar...

200whp & 210wtq at 9psi
254whp & 276wtq with NX 35shot

Yes but the silvertop has Hydraulic lifters... the rest have mechanical right? I'm saying that the Hydraulic lifters can't handle more than a certain amount of power w/out changing them over to mechanical.
