what next

[zx2mr]

i got a focus turbo header, intercooler, piping, and blow off valve. the turbo ill be running is from a turbo chrysler. so its water cooled. what else do i need, and where do i hook up every thing at

[ZX2guy19]

Wastegate, injectors, maf, tuning, oil lines, fuel pump, colder plugs, bunged oil pan, couplers, water cooler (maybe).

If you don't know how to hook it up, perhaps you should do some extensive research and reconsider installing it.

I see failure in a distant future.

Do not reconsider installing it, but you definitely have a lot of research to do.

Ignore the pessimism you find here, focaljet is a great place to find helpful answer to do with turbos. There are about 250x as many boosted cars on focaljet then there are on here.

Pessimism is needed when his car is at stake. Don't spoon feed the kid then say I told you so when his car is blown up.

There is also about 250x more members than here.

Care to keep throwing out meaningless numbers which don't change the fact that the zx2 isn't simple to turbo?

1 vote for ban. He can go and stay over at focaljet.

I call BS on this thread, why would you drop the money on this stuff if you have no idea what you are doing?

[ZX2Fast]

Certainly start reading. If you don't have another vehicle you can drive then don't boost this one. The car will be down a month longer then you think and will cost twice as much as you budget. The hardest part of boosting this car is finding a good tuner for it.

You guys are quick to assume I'm putting down Teamzx2.

There are 30,000+ members on focaljet, and coincidently, more boosted zetecs. More boosted zetecs means more opinions, thoughts, and answers.

If he's gonna blow up his engine hes gonna blow up his engine. Let him have some fun while he's one his way there.

[ZX2guy19]

That's a good thought, not.

Maybe he can sell his car like you then eh?

[2000ZxT]

You do realize my daily driver is not my project car, right?

And the turbo kit I am selling I have known I wasn't using for the past 9 months. My turbo kit is a littttlee bit better.

I still own 2 zx2s after I sell this one.

I just bought a 99 mystique v6 and am converting that to a SVT with the money from the sale.

I didn't think you were putting down teamzx2...nor did I care if you were.

I was pointing out that your original post was meaningless.

[zx2mr]

i know how to hook it up i just dont know where every thing is on the car. the turbo has an internal wastgate. and i was just wondering if i ran low boost can i do it on stock fuel system and everything

[ZX2Fast]

Yeah, if you run 2psi.

[zx2mr]

i was gonna run 5psi temp and upgrade as i go. ive got 577cc injectors but they are for an srt4 if they will fit i can change the injector plug. my main concern is about the cpu can it handle 5 psi with out an sct tune and where can i get a maf that will handle 18psi that i will run after rebuilding my engine
