First of all, sorry for making this thread---I know there are many similar ones already out there, but I just want to clarify everything.

In order to bolt up the SVT header to the Zetec, what are all of the parts that are needed? Here is what I've come up with....what's missing?

SVT Header
--weld in the EGR bung
SVT cat or ORP
SVT oil dipstick

Best to get the kit from FRPP, it comes with everything you need except the cat/orp and flex from a svt.

you will also need to get the SVT power steering hose line and a small fitting. I'm doing the install also and it takes a few mods to get it right. And ou will need to get the SVT flexpipe if you are gonna use the SVT orp. You could also go to McNews and they have a ORP the is placed after the SVT header to the Stock flexpipe.

I have never changed the PS hose to the SVT , iThe ZX3 one can be moved to be safe and out of the way

^^^ ok good. i was just gonna ask if i need to get the svt PS line.

 

[hEaT]

Get the SVT line. I've seen too many Zetec lines moved out of the way and then they explode. It's not worth the risk. If you are going to do the install, do it right.

 

[svtguy88]

Does the Zetec line just get too hot? If that is the case, couldn't you just wrap it in heat wrap?

 

[nov173]

so the svt line just bolts up with no modifications?

 

[SuperFlea]

The moving it out of the way mod may work, but in many cases still receives some heat from the header, plus i think i looks way more pro if you changed the ps line, i guess it's jut imo.

If you are over at FJ, shoot FORDSVTPARTS a PM and he should be able to give you some prices on those parts.


Even with heatwrap on the P/S line, it has still burst on some people.

 

[SuperFlea]

yup, that guys is awsome! he's always willing to give you a hand!

 

[svtguy88]

How about heat wrap on both the header and the PS line? (can you tell I'm avoiding the $100 SVT line?)

 

[SuperFlea]

that might just help out alot. To be honest, i wouldn't be so confident driving my car that way, since it's still to close to the header, but that's just me. You could try that, and if it woks, than you'll avoid spending $ 100 bucks. Be carfull though, and moniter constantly the ps line just to be sure.

 

[hEaT]

What I would do.

Get the SVT line, heatwrap it and ceramic coat the SVT header.

Take it from someone thats been doing this awhile. Spend the $100. Its worth far more than that to not have your car take a poo on the road.
