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

Daaaaannng.


Yeah, the JRSC is going on my daily driver. I'm leaving the rev limiter set to stock. I do have a spare engine but I want to keep that for my big-boost turbo project.

AFIAK, Hector's ATX Zetec was sold and is now gone. The guy that bought it used the name image4you2see on the CEG. He hasn't posted in 9 months.

There are a couple Mondeo's in the UK running M45 JRSCs. Both Percybigun and d c have one. I wish mine was going in a Mondeo.

There was a guy with the CEG name "zetectour" aka "ZetecChris" asking about stuff. But that was also months ago. I also checked and he has posted in 9 months.

Yeah, even though I've been on the CEG 3-4 years, I've never been to a SE-WI G2G. It'll be cool to show up with something really unique.

Not too further burst your bubble either BP, but I think you'll have a harder time making this work than Hector had. The SVTF kit was engine specific and I've never heard of people buying one for the regular Zetec. Otherwise, nobody would have bought one of the regular zetec kits.

A Mustang magazine did a custom install on a Focus of the SVTF blower and had to fab up a whole new intake manifold for it. I fear you'll have a hard time doing the install.

From what I've heard, the intake ports on the SVT are bigger and the bolts for the intake manifold are a little off. The Focus guys have to file out the holes on a SVT manifold to make it fit on a regular Zetec. These sound relatively minor. I'll know more when the supercharger gets delivered. (the pic above is from the sale on the focus forums)

If I have to port my head to make it work, no biggie. I'm already prepared for having to do some weird crap with the accessory drive. The Focus has a two-bolt style mount for the alternator and I think it's smaller. I also don't know if the idler bracket that they supply is going to work at all.

Oh yeah, the SVT Focus also doesn't have EGR. I think that why the normal Focus guys also stay away from it. That and the Powerworks supercharger is MUCH better. Intercooled M62.

It's going to be a fun weekend digging into all of this stuff.

...that's if it shows on Friday...crosses fingers...

Good luck with the install. If you can and don't mind, post pics of the progress, I love seeing that sort of stuff.

The EGR is a good point. Take lots of pics. This is a topic where the more detailed posts the better.

I can't wait to see this.....like I have said before this was definitely in the plans when I had my car.

Good luck and if you need any help....just ask.
