What year is your's? It doesn't matter what it says... I've seen crate zetecs listed as 127hp. But whatever they truly put out at the crank, all 98+ zetecs, be it a contour, zx2, cougar, focus, or whatever else put out the same amount of HP.

that doesn't make sense...167HP and 152 TQ and you ran a 14.9
Do SVT Contours not respond well to mods or what?
1.You've been registered for nearly a year and still don't realize foci and contour zetecs have the same HP?
2.H22 have more horsepower, not a lot more torque, and the only reason they make civics,accords,preludes so fast is because of how light the cars are. MAny of the other typical engine swaps for hondas just get up to our stock HP level.
3.What doesn't make sense about his time?
4.We're talking about zetecs here.
since when do Foci and zetec tours have the same HP?
just because we're talking about zetecs does not mean I cant refer to other engines...the only reason I said that is because of all the work he put into his Focus and he only got up to 167HP, I'm just saying there should be a much easier way of getting HP (ex. engine swap) for the zetecs
I was also comparing his Focus to SVT times
Whats not making sense about that.

1.Since the Focus was made
2.The zetec engine and a H22 engine are two completely different things, we don't need engine swaps,etc. We have turbos available and superchargers available that put out plenty of power. He got 167fwhp which isn't too bad, with just a little bit more work and some good custom tuning, that number could jump a good bit.
3.Why? I didn't see you comparing any times, so you ask if svt contours just don't take well to mods or something... but no direct comparison. But they're too completely different vehicles,,, compare them if you want, but they're not really comparable.

Allright guys.  The h22 isn't that much better than the zetec engine sotck for stock. They put out more hp but about the same in tourque. I don't know the exact numbers but it's not that far off. And like KTF said we don't need engine swaps cause we got turbos and superchargers and stuff like that. 167 and 152 doesn't sound like a lot but it was damn fast(definitly faster than my CSVT). It's hard to believe because we are all used to seeing these over inflated numbers from compenies for there products. Like this intake get 7 hp and this exhaust gets 5hp and and this header gets 10 hp and these cams get 15 hp, in the real world it just doesn't work like that. I'm not giving any names of companys I'm just giving a general idea. After all that I did put the Focus Central intake manifold on but I never got it dynoed. But from what I can tell I lost a few TQ's and gained a bunch of HP's up top. And I did have a custom burned chip. The most hp I've seen on pump gas from a N/A Zetec is only in the high 170's low 180's. But the driveablity sucked so I'm not sure that really counts as a streetable car. Now notice I say "PUMP GAS" meaning 93 octane or lower. There are plenty of racing N/A zetecs running aroung with 200 HP but there using race gas. If anybody doesn't believe my numbers or those numbers are what you get from those mods then you should hop on over to www.focaljet.com It's a very big website dedicated to the zetec and the focus.
All in all I just trying to compare what I had done to the zetec to what he was about to do to his zetec and try and give him a general idea of his hp outcome. Didn't mean to start a war, just wanted to spread some info.

speaking of timing belts guys...i think its time for a new one for me. Mine is walking and is hitting something in the engine bay. (sorry to hijack but this seemed like a good place to bring this up) where can i get one and how much are they? I know they are expensive but I'm just wondering if I could find one cheaper than I've seen. Let me know.
At Pep Boys, we have them for about $25. 
Does anyone know exactly what changing ur timing belt would do

Actually the foci comes standard w/110hp and an 130hp option. The tour comes w/ 125hp and 130tq

Actually you are only part right... kremit was correct...
pre 98 Zetec contour 125hp 130tq post 98 Zetec 130hp 135tq
the focus base engine is NOT a Zetec it's the SPI 2.0 single over head cam which yes it's only 110HP it is only offered in the sedan and wagon not in the ZX3.
2003 Subaru WRX some mods
Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

pre 98 Zetec contour 125hp 130tq post 98 Zetec 130hp 135tq
I was getting my information from cars.com and it said that the 99 contour has 125hp and 130tq, is that website wrong? Should I be claiming 5 more hp and tq?
