svt contour performance parts.
hey. you guys don't have an FAQ like we do in the 240sx forum so i just wanted to ask a question:
my friend has an SVT contour and was looking to get rid of it, i convinced him it was a kick ass car and that her should tune it up then tune it a bit. the only problem is find websites that cator to performance parts for the car. basically we're looking for suspension components (struts, springs or coil overs, sway bars, struct tower braces, bushings, etc...), brake upgrades, bolt ons (intake, headers, exhaust) and performance engine parts such as high lift cams (what lift and duration to get tho?) cam gears, underdrive pullies, lightened fly wheels etc... then engine management (will an apex-i afc work?) any help you guys could give as far as websites or good tuning programs would kick ass. he's looking for about 230-250 hp adn great handling. this car will mainly be used for auto-x. |

Re: svt contour performance parts.
CEG is the best contour/mystique enthusiast group there is, hense why Ive been a member since 2000 and why its in my signature. There is quite a bit of aftermarket for the contour; most people just dont know about it since CEG is the reason that products are made. (ex. Street Flight turbo kit, bodykits, carbon fiber hoods, projector lights, cams, etc.) None of these would have been possible without members on CEG. Your friend can easily get 250 hp. Just swap in a 3.0L engine and hes looking at 200+ whp and quite a bit more torque.

Re: svt contour performance parts.
Instead of getting the MSDS headers you can do what a friend of mine did to his old 98 SVT Contour and gut your pre-cats depending on where you live. We live in Omaha NE so there's no emissions tests.
Good idea on keep the SVT it's a awsome 4 cammed bad ass that when my friend had his smashed more than a few unsuspecting people. The SVT Contour is one of the best sleepers on the road. Just remember the SVTC is a great top end car. Exhaust,chips,Intake,Header or gutting pre-cats, plus Y pipe will do a lot more than you would think. Don't lose faith in the car. |
