turbo/super

does anyone know if anyone makes turbo/super chargers for the zx2?? and if so who?

there is no SC for the ZX2, and Focus kis do not fit (no matter what any shop says, a focus kit and your car will need ford to get them to work together)

focus-power.com makes a 6k turbo kit, but seems to be iffy how there tuning is (4 know cars have had tuning issues)

Gude makes utter shit parts, fitment is terrible and tuning is worse.

A guy called UnlikelyHero makes kits of high quality, but dont look as nice as he makes them in his spare time. You can find him at http://www.geocities.com/rudeawakeningmotorsports/new.html

Other wise you have to make your own.

i've been talking to this guy quite a bit but does anyone know how well the kits hold up? someone who actually has the kit would be a big help and im really loving his prices.

This isn't the place to look. www.teamzx2.com is.

and i already gave him every answer teamzx2 has

Hey, i'm just trying to give him a place he can get answers if he has questions. Neither of us know everything there is to know about the car.

i would say you can try gude but, i dont know, altec is right i bought a head and cam, and we had a hell of a time with it. i actually had to kill another grand and a half not including garage costs to get everyhing to stop fighting each other. but if you are only looking for a minor upgrade, ive heard of electronic superchargers, which are basically just a fan that runns off the battery. a friend of mine put one in his mustang ( it has the 4 cyl. ) and he notices a little more pep, and his gas milage went up 4-5 mpg. other then that we are in the same boat.

they are a waste...they put strain on your motor to run it which in turn also makes the elec SC try to make enough power just to make up for the loss it creates.

i belive that either Jacson racing or vortec is working on a centrifugal supercharger for the zx2 i belive i heard that from www.zxtuner.com or www.zx2ner.com.

they are working w. Rob at zxtuner to make a SC kit...(about the 12th time a shop has tried to make a SC kit...most do 1 or 2 and disapear) the thread about it is at teamzx2.com

If it has nice gains/efficentcy then I'm buying one.

altec, are you sure that turbo guy you suggested is all there, he just told me the vct is a non interferece motor. i dint want to piss him off by wondering contrary, but you said it was interference right?

zetec w/ vct is non-interference

thanks. :banghead: one day ill get it all straight.

yeah its NON-interferance unless you run over a .400 cam THEN it is interferance.

the new duratec in Foci ARE interferance

i plan on buying a turbo (which kit i have yet to decide) off of that rude awaking < guy should i change my cam when i do or change anything else?

and ive seen cupped pistons for boosted cars... wouldnt that alow me to run a 400 cam w/o being a problem with the valves?

he means its only interference IF the timing belt breaks.

or the timing goes out of whack,

and you dont have to change your cam, its possible the stock cams are better for turbo application, i havnt loohed into turbo's much. the VCT does hurt turbo's some, but if you remove that then you arnt passing emissions.
