Yep I used to frequent NECO. All of the store bought intakes actually decrease hp because it puts it in a heat sinc though. 1999 V-6 MTX. Yet to have a problem with my cougar. Got to check out that custum turbo place. Would save me alot of time. I was thinking of rigging my own set up.

She looks factory, but it ate it's Wheaties

I own a '95 Cougar XR7 V8. Pearl white with tan leather interior, 5.4L 310HP crate engine (looks like factory 4.6L), now has 340HP on dyno with chip and exhaust work. Rides like a charm but with more horses and faster than a Mustang GT. Has factory AOD-E. No problems yet now at 61,380 mi.

The Cougar is expensive around here, or was? Is it in sell still, too bad they plan to take it out of the market, that is a great sports coupe.

For you guys and gals with the older RWD Cougars, here's a little tidbit for you. The RDW Couger is a Fox body platform, just like the Mustang. T-Birds, LTD's, Fairmonts, and Capris of that era are also. Anyway, Mustang parts will work on the cars I just mentioned. Check out Hot Rod. com for a purple Fairmont hopped up with Mustang goodies. There's a LTD there also. Just type Fairmont in the search box and it should take you to their story. Hope this helps!

My friend has a 99 cougar and we built a CAI which ran down to his left foglight which we detached and that gave us an increidble increase in hp by at least 8 hp with a upper and lower manifold and port and polished he is running around 200hp. which isnt that bad speaking it takes a good bit to get hp out of this car not like a honda or vw 1.8t. and the next step is buying a 3.0 with a turbo kit. to get around 300+hp. but you could also go the route of a 2.8 with supra pistons with a turbo. running at around 25 psi. where the 3.0 without turbo runs at 8psi. just a little tid bit of information.

Re: Cougar V6

HI I recently bought a 95' cougar xr7 V8 with 129k miles
I keep getting check engine light on. I have changed my PFR sensor and the mechanic suggested that some throttle body or something needs to be cleaned.
I need to know how much generally does it costs to get it cleaned.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thankx
Jay

Talk to kinger over on contour.org or neco about getting your heads ported and polished. For my 3.0L heads, it cost me $950 for a port and polish, resurfacing, installation of new valve springs, 6 point cfm chart, etc.

As for stiffer valve springs go with the Mondeo ST220 3.0L valve springs.

Bigger valves...3.0L duratec valves.

Cam work...your gonna have to go custom for that.

Well the port and polish is a good Idea as well as the cam and valve components but as a mechanic and an import guru I would recommend against the dual exhaust if it is a 4 cyl. if not then by all means go ahead with the duals. because with a 4 cyl. it will make no differance in the H.P rating and you'll just be wasting your money.

if you want big power (well big compared to stock) and want to stay NA. a 3.0L duratec will fit nicely in a new cougar. get some 2.5 svt heads(off a contour svt) a little bit of port and polishing add some 3.0L valves to those heads and you will have a very nice NA engine that looks completely stock.

lots more info about the 3.0 swap. can be found on NECO
