does anyone know if a normal focus zx3 turbo would work on an svt focus zx3

 

dony see why not, if i'm not mistaken it's the same engine

 

There is something different aout it, I dunno what exactly because I asked Demetrius up at Abacus Racing and he said it woudln;t work for some reason, at least the Precision Turbo kit, I'll ask him why it won;t work or what needs to be modified.

 

awesome thanx for the look out

 

Good to see another SVTF owner out there...

The ZX3 kit won't work for our cars for a number of reasons...1st the intake is in a different location...the ZX3 is in the middle while ours in closure to the drivers side of the engine bay, second...electronics...3rd...Our compression is 10.2:1 while the ZX3 is a more boost friendly 9-9.5:1 or something like that.

Don't worry though-There are kits out there...I know that focuspower.com list an SVT-specific kit but it goes for like $5,800 and you have to have it tuned by there shop in N. Carolina. I Think Gude has one aswell.

I strongly reccomend that you check out the SVT forum on myfordfocus.com and see what they have to say. There is a lot of good info to be found there. Focaljet is good, too.

ok good im glad that you got to this before the guy bought something....

the zx3 and the svt are 2 different engines.. can be swapped but not used for parts upon each other...

but no need to go in depth pintsize covered this
