Yikes! Umm, should I be the first to tear out a Duratec out of a SVT to swap in a Zetec??? Hmm, billet steel rods, low CR pistons from BAT are only $1700 TOTAL... (I'm honestly THINKING about it, hehe) Come on Zetec owners there's offically WAY TOO MUCH stuff for you out there now. Here's your chance to be spankin' SVTs. John

I'd love to do this but I fear my CD4E would die of shock the first time I started it up! Terry is there any difference in kit for the VCT and non VCT cars? *Update* I just got to thinking about this...Find a High Milage Manual Zetec for 4-5K Add the 300BHP Turbo, BAT Suspension Kit, Baer Brakes, and of course the Aussie bar...Should put you in the 9-10K total investment range... Talk about a sleeper...

Nice Terry! I said it first a month or so ago. Get a Zetec, your Bulldog box and a Turbo Kit, Aussiebar, Coil-overs and you would be spanking any other SVT out there in every performance aspect. And what do you know, you can do it all at the one place: Haines Motor Sports!!!! Man I should just give you my car and take out a loan! Who wants to buy my engine?

There are tons of cheap Zetec 'Tours out there that someone can drop in a turbo kit along with upgraded suspension bits. This would make more sense the cuting up an SVT!

Terry, if you can produce something for the Duratec, PLEASE DO! I am all for ANYONE making a decent kit. We are still experiencing delays that are out of my control, and a few other people's control.
Alright you Zetec people out there, who's first??????

Terry you have mail! Please keep me up to date on this. I am seriously looking into getting a turbo. If your kit is basically a bolt on then you can count me in.

I would consider doing this but wouldn't the SVT with the zetec/turbo theoretically lose to a focus with the same turbo because their car is lighter?

You know there are likely to be more people getting these kits than the Duratec kit...The 4 Bangers cost so much less that we'd have the extra to spend! I'm not saying that I do...I mean look at my Sig and you can tell I dont.

If you were 'on track' a lot with the 300hp version I'd say uprated rods,for street use no.The cr is lowered but not by the pistons,gives a higher boost pressure and more of the range 'at boost' Vs a high cr where the boost has to be limited.Boost control is by an integral wastgate in the t/c assy.The stock sytems 1 & 2 are without i/coolers,but one is designed to fit either stage and is an extra if required.regards Terr Haines ,HMS Inc

It sounds as though pulling the head is done in order to install a spacer plate to reduce compression. Beyond that, does any work need to be done to the head itself? No milling I would assume...

I'm interested definitely. Right now my concern is throwing in the Zetec and getting the turbocharger and the turbo comes out for the 2.5 and it's output is higher than the zetec and could take more mods. I'm just thinking that maybe the 2.5 would be a better platform for the turbo. Please correct me if my concerns are invalid.

How much boost is the stage 1 going to run? I really don't want to build up the engine yet. With a turbo and engine that is going to be about 5 grand.

He said you can upgrade from S1 to S2 later on. I'm going to make a guess its running about 8 psi.

We get more HP than a 'standard' 'bolt on' kit because we do lower the CR.Why have the wastegate open at 4000 rpm?,its wasted boost.The more the engine is under 'positive' intake manifold pressure the more you get,hence start with a lower CR.

DAMN buying this house ... DAMN IT!!!
Although I have no Cougar any longer to do this with (besides, I had a V6), I am now in need of a car to play with. After driving a Focus, I must admit that I really liked the handling ... ALOT! No matter where you pointed that thing, it went without hesitation. Now with these kits being out ... something that I might consider.
Terry, will this kit fit the ZX2? I ask because I have a 2nd Gen Escort LX with 121K miles that is in need of a motor swap soon. I have done a lot of research (gotten under both cars and taken lots of notes ... no measurements yet) and the ZX2 should drop right in.
Not to mention, if this fits the ZX2 ... there are more ZX2 owners out there with more $$ than sense than all combined Contour and Cougar owners. If you position yourself right, I would say about 50+% of your sales will be to Focus owners.

All 2.0 Zetec's, or only 2.0 Zetec's in the Contour, Cougar & Focus? Thanks for clearing this up for me

so... some may call this heresy - but what is everyones thoughts on pulling the SVT 2.5L and putting in a 300HP Zetec? i'm sure it's possible, but would it be worth the work?

"i'm sure it's possible, but would it be worth the work?"
Only advantages for Zetec that I see are lower CR & packaging. Both should be addressed in Chris Hightowers or other turbo kits for Duratec. Otherwise, the Zetec lacks several SVT features that are turbo desirable like a forged crank, ported/polished heads & intake, aggressive cams, upgraded cooling, 0.5L and is less smooth & refined & sounds like a 4-pot. With at least 3 non-intercooled S/C Duratecs making 350 HP on stock internals, the turbo Dutatec has enourmous potential IMHO. Best though to do it right with trimetal bearings, billet rods and forged/low CR pistons (assembled by terry or other expert). This combo & & almost no other mods was worth 450 HP to Ken Dutweiller's 2.5Turbo Focus. With good A/F, spark management (ie Apexi etc.) and intercooler should be fairly reliable at 350-400+ HP. If you SVT guys really want a turbo, I would wait for Chris...

This discussion has come up over at NECO Forums and here are my thoughts. V6 vs. I4 turbo buildup:
V6 Pros: potential for more power and more intial power/torque
V6 Cons: 1 more head 2 more cams 8 more of every valve component 2 more pistons 2 more rods 2 more sets of rings 2 more sets of bearings 1 more head gasket
All the components listed above are those that would most likely need to be replaced in preperation for a turbo application.
V6 summary: More parts to replace with aftermarket parts. Cost of doing so would be enough for an I4 buildup + turbo kit. Anyway you look at it, the I4 is much easier to work on and less expensive as well!

But FastCougar, On the SVT, you would not need aftermarket head, valve, cam mods - factory is fine for turbo at least up to 450 HP levels (probably want to do some heat resistant coatings in chambers & valves though). True, you need a few more pistons, rods, bearings (all more expensive for the Duratec because they would be custom), but the stock forged crank may be OK. In contrast, the nodular iron Zetec crank would be suspect in my book if going for big power. So, I do think the build up cost would be more for the Duratec but not that much more. I think on a HP/Dollar basis, if you are starting with a Duratec you will be better to stay. Staring with a Zetec, better to stay Zetec, cost wise.

I have at 96 Contour 2L with over 100k miles on it. To get this kit working...do you think rings would have to be replaced? or the entire piston? I'm just worried about the age of the engine and then dumping this kind of power into it. Don't flame me cause I don't know much about Contours engine. But so far...this thing has required VERY little work and still is a great car. Also, how is fuel management accounted for in this kit. Or do we think the ecu is smart enough to figure it out... Thanks! PS - I work with The Mark ... cool guy for those who havent met him

So the whole set up isn't a good Idea right now.

Guys why don't someone go research the turbo SHO engine they have very similar setup just need a mandraul bending machine and custom manifolds and good intercooler. I been hoping someone tke the same approach the sho took just 8 pds boost at 4000rpms all the way up would give bettermid to high. When car paid off I'm going to try.

Just to put things in perspective here. HP = $$$ OK.I dont advise either of these kits if you have a tired engine.Once again everyone complains at no aftermarket parts for Contour....HMS Inc is a FULL TIME outfit,we dont do the researrch and then go off to our 'day job'.We have a good shop and are building on that...please dont keep slamming the small guy (me!),who is very dedicated to this car and getting more aftermarket 'goodies' out there.It all takes time & $,if you cant wait ...buy a Honda!

Within two weeks I hope to have engine dyno run plots,pics and status on cost/performance of the intercooler,yes it can be added later if req.Once we have all the information and can pass it to you,then we will accept orders.

Terry, here is the link to the ZX2.com forums ... their site is down, but the message board isn't: http://pub76.ezboard.com/bzx23270 Like I stated before, the ZX2 uses the same Zetec as the rest. The Escorts unfortunately have a sorry tranny (M5 - also refered to as the G5M). I am not sure of the power potential of the tranny, but I am sure it would most definitely fail if not driven properly on boost ... consider it job security

Where did you get this info? From looking at the two cars, I can tell you that the front subframes are competely different ... but I didn't do any measurements. Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated!

I still havent gotten an aswer to my question.
1. what about fuel management for this system? Is the stock ecu smart enough? or will the injectors go static?
2. Heads - can they be replaced?
3. Clutch - I'm sure a new one will be required. Any comments?

Terry, I am not sure if Todras has contacted you about possibly installing the stage one turbo on my Focus ZX3 this spring. Looking over the posts, it appears that new pistons are installed to lower the CR or is the head modified? What type of fuel system upgrade or electronics are needed for this kit. The car currently has an AEM intake, FC throttle body, Off-road race header, A'pexi N1 exhaust, and Esslinger UDP. I am looking at having a set of stage 2 crane cams added this spring. I am interested in doing the stage one turbo next year, and I think my car would make a good advertising item for your company. Email me at my office bryan_redeker@fmo.com. Thanks Terry, -Bryan

Ok for the Stage II you said we need an engine managment system. Are we talking a custom chip or something more along the lines of the TEAC-II fully programable, stand alone engine managment system?

This is an amazing deal for Zetec owners. Sadly, I don't think I can do it. I just can't justify spending 4 large on a car that is only worth 4 large in the books.
I also have almost 100k miles on the engine with no problems, but I wonder how much it can take.

Ah, just what I was looking for, a new turbo kit for the Zetec. As a ZX2 owner, let me say that it is not always the case that ZX3 parts fit a ZX2. Certainly not the MTX75. A major swap there. In fact, most bolt-ons fail the test. I was hoping my VCT brethern could be of some help and perhaps you guys can. I do a lot of autocrossing and was wondering if these are fast spoolers or not and if they retain the cat (or have room for one). Also, do you offer any goodies for fuel management of the stg.I kit?

Yowzers. JVT once again contemplates dropping in a Zetec instead of a 3.0. What's the bar-to-psi conversion formula? Anybody? John

I'm expecting the obvious, such as pistons, rods, bearings, crank is stock? Ya'll Zetec guys have got it made... Looking at BAT's catalog for the Zetec, man oh man. John

Crank is stock as are rods & pistons,BUT we are going to risk it and tweak the Pectel and try for 350 BHP, we may blow the bottom end out but just gotta' give it a try to get up with the 'cossie numbers and 175 BHP per litre...

Anyone tell you that you're crazy? Umm, how much of a pain would it be to swap a Zetec into a SVT? Seriously... I would mainly be concerned about the computer, wiring, PATS, accessories, etc... Doable Terry? John

I'm guessing these numbers have come from a non-intercooled kit. Is that true? Are you going to try and test an intercooled setup? So whats the time frame for orders? Another month or so, maybe?
Oh, please excuse my ignorance but how is the boost pressure read? I mean, I've never seen it displayed like this. 1.2 > 1.5 Bar is 17.4> 21.75 PSI I understand 'Bar' and 'psi' but why the '>' symbol?

Okay, that makes since. Thanks. So I guess the 17psi figure would correlate to the 185 HP figure and the 21psi figure to the 200 HP figure. Right?

Terry, I already have a head at a machine shop getting P&P job, it is getting a whole bunch of goodies when it gets rebuilt I am also going to rebuild the bottom end with some quality forged steel products, but where should I get them? I was thinking about using Burton power or Dunnel engines, any input? I f I do this right should I be able to sustain 350hp? maybe More ?

Terry, Are your boost figures including the reading at 1 atmosphere + boost (ie 14.7 to be at air pressure and then say 3 psi for boost from the turbo, or the 14.7 at atmosphere + the 7psi from the turbo?) It seems to me that alot of people reading this thread are thinking that your turbo will be making 22psi of pressure...if so... ummmm at 22psi from the turbo, How come the HP and Torque figures are so low? I just think that some people on here who arent familiar with turbos(and from North America.. not familiar with Bar pressure readings, and how Euros' read turbo power) see your figure and are like.. WHOA!! but they need to realize that They are notgoing to be getting a 22psi turbo... Anywyas keep up the good work, I'm enjoying reading about all this.

Good call, I figured the 22 psi turbo was a little off. Considering stock internals...thats a lot of boost! I forget the conversion but isn't 1 bar equivelant to 1 atmosphere at sea-level?

Sir Terry Haines or at least Terry Haines MBE, I'll have to talk to Liz. Will the ATX stand a stage 1 with Intercooler? I know its the same tranny as the v6 but I think there were internal changes for torque capacity

I won't beable to do it for a couple of reasons. 1. Parents (think I drive to fast) 2. Money (going to collage next year) 3. Lead Foot (I do drive fast well as fast as can be expected with a stock zetec) My question is in the ATX, mainley the 2stage. 300 Bhp so that will be plenty of horse to tear a tranny apart. Also If you would rebuild the complete engine with the hole works would you be able to take it closer to 400bhp and say by by mustange :P The mustange drivers face would be priceless.

SO...any thoughts on a 2.5 SVT turbo?
The zetec turbo sounds cool ass hell, and some people want to do a swap, but I'm gonna wait for a 2.5 duratec turbo...I know Terry's working on it or planning on it...

We are developing on the Zetec for many reasons,the main one being cost. The four cylinder is a cheaper option for R&D Vs the V6, a lot of what we learn from dyno testing, calibration etc will be applied to the V6.A lot of the V6 t/c components have been designed/ 'cobbled' up for the V6 and we are moving forward on the system but the Zetec will be ready first.

Hey m8 just in case you won't get the post in the general mod forum...any news on lowering the compression ratio. Are you using a gasket or modifying the pistons?
One other question you seem to refer to the UK alot about dynoing...Do you have a UK department?
If so where are they? I'm in bonny Scotland at the mo, but Boring England is only 4-5 hours away depending on speed. Its about 2.3 hrs at 100mph plus!
Hope you can help as I'm doing a conversion at the mo. Using a Garret T3 turbo, alloy intercooler, (both from a RS Turbo Escort). Fuel requirements are met by a 5th injectoe being run by ERL's MF2, and the MAF replaced with a TD one. Having problems with getting an oil feed but think I have it sussed.
Hope you can get back to me! :p

A Focus Zetec owner recently blew a rod running only 8psi...scary!!!! Yes but he was running lean, possibly detonating. He had not installed the extra injector(s?) that the aerochrger guys running the 12 psi are. I think one the guys has got 96# injectors, and is using 75% of their duty cycle! Of course he recently dynoed at 280 whp. and just as much torque!

Please tell me that 96# was a misprint! Jesus Christ ... that's enough fuel to support 1,000 HP!

After rereading the thread, he still has 46# injectors that are maxed out. He ordered some 92# and calculated that he would be using 75% of their duty cycle. Sorry for the confusion.

340lbs of torque!!? Holy crap man! That's up in Mustang GT land isn't it? I know my girl's 2000 3.8 is in the low 200's and it's pretty damn quick. If you do successfully get into the 350hp range how much torque will that be? 400lbs? That would definately kill every Honduh around here for sure! Maybe even a couple GTs and Z-28s and maybe even the unsuspecting Vette here and there. I'm definately going to do this now! How to raise money........Man Whore?

I will post a link in the ZX2.com forum.
Any idea how difficult it would be to fit this kit in a ZX2.
Personnaly i am only looking for ~4 psi. Enough to fatten the torque curve and give me a bit more power. This could be the setup i am looking for...

Yeah, it'll fit a zx2. He hasn't said exactly what boost it'll be running at but I'm sure it's going to be more than 4psi. More like 8 or 10.

Numbers...the 'top end' kit is now giving us 350 BHP @ 340 Lbs torque with 1.5 Bar boost...prices are being worked out as we had to add rods etc (our original engine 'let go' at 335 BHP....)

21 PSI, isnt that alittle Extreme?? Your MPG will drop significantly and with that much boost you'd have a hell of a turbo lag.

Turbo lag has absolutely nothing to do with the level of boost being made. It has to do with the sizing of the turbo. Modern turbos spool so fast that turbo lag is a thing of the past.

Terry, why did she "let go". Rods? IIRC Zetec has an iron crank, did you upgrade that as well? This is the kind of performance R&D I would love to see for the Duratec - find out what really needs to be upgraded and at what point. Nice work, your the MAN!

DAn, after re-reading Terry's post I would bet the rods let loose....he says he had to add rods to that kit so that is why I say it....but damn those are some sweet numbers.......

Terry, is it even possible to turn the boost down when needed on this thing? I ask because the thought of my wife tooling around in my 'tour w/ 300+ HP at the wheels terrifies me just a little And she'd wanna drive it after that, trust me!

The 'boost pedal' is the one on the far right!!!
