I have most of the swap parts aside from the transmission itself. Cheers, Brian Insane 03-03-2009, 01:07 PM The regular zetec can be made to have more power and torque than the SVT for under $2000. For only 2000 put in your self or someone else doing it? illinipo 03-03-2009, 01:11 PM DIY of course Insane 03-03-2009, 01:18 PM I figured, Just wanted to clear it up! Still though that seems like it wouldnt be enough. Though idk.. New head 1000 cams 350 svt header 400 cam gears 200+ tune=?? Intake 150+ Toms tune 412 Is that about right? It's like 2500. illinipo 03-03-2009, 01:22 PM nope. You can find a lot of parts on the forums to get deals. intake $50-100 header $150 you dont need the svt header. exhaust $250-400 cams $250-300 shave head $40 new head studs, headgasket, and fluids $150 dyno tune for 93 and x3 flasher $700 I'm only at 1590-1840, you have money left for the 2000 intake manifold or a bigger flexpipe. Insane 03-03-2009, 01:27 PM IF you can find the deals or wait long enough to find them! I'm in no way shape or form patient lol. illinipo 03-03-2009, 01:28 PM It can be done though you have to admit. Insane 03-03-2009, 01:33 PM If the person has the proper equitment and skills yes! I wish I did. Though, I could put in my front sway bar but I'd rather have someone else fight the car. It's easier under a lift than a jack! Slow03 03-03-2009, 01:34 PM All the fun in modding a car is doing it yourself. There is basically instructions for everything. Most ZX3's are cheaper then SVT's also. So that will leave you even more money to mod. They are also lighter. kylesvt720 03-03-2009, 01:42 PM They are lighter, and cheaper, but once you start modding, if you actually want a good rounded package you need, a rear disc conversion kit, upgrades sways, upgrade springs, and all that. You basically have more money into it for a similar car, and you still don't have the nicer interior. Heated Recaros FTW!! cwatson411 03-03-2009, 01:43 PM cause the svt has a better motor and fatphocus what is a Getrag the getrag is the svtf's stock tranny. just like the mtx-75 is whats on the zetec. the mtx75 is better geared for the 1/4 mile, the getrag does better with autocross n'stuff like that, i believe Insane 03-03-2009, 01:45 PM To me, the fun part isn't putting it on, It's driving it after everything is together![driving] | |
