Whats up, just bought a zx3 2001 from a buddy. It was in pretty rough shape the heads were leaking into the exhaust for some time. This resulted in the whole exauhst system to corrode from the inside. even though i was just going to make this a daily driver i bought a magnaflow catback and some obx headers lol. anyways now that i have the head off and off to the machine shop i want to know if a svt intake manifold will fit with no prob. also if anyone has any ideas on how to upgrade the fuel delivery that would be great. thx

It sure will, but requires quite a bit of work. Let me find the How-To on it for you...

EDIT: Um....okay I have no idea what happened here. I found the thread, but the entire write-up is missing like it was removed and post 2 became post 1. But hopefully if you dig through the pages you can get some info. Crap.

ok, thx for the info

 

[Zach man]

question, how would you know if the heads are leaking into the exhaust?

 

[Blue5ive]

Just swap to an SVT head and its intake/exhaust parts and then buy a tune from Tom and Bam 170 hp(somewhere around there).

How did the headers an exhaust sound on it ?

Does the SVT head bolt on without any modification?

^^ Would need VCT delete. Believe massive sells em.

Not worth the trouble to install the SVT on the Zetec engine , I would use caution with the massive VCT elim , I had trouble with it and didnt use it

what other intake manifolds are compatible with the zetec? im thinking about buying a 13g off my buddy and starting a small turbo project on my dd.

 

[freemind]

If you are doing a small turbo, there is nothing wrong with the OEM intake. It is good for 300+ hp IIRC. You should worry about engine internals after 240hp and a good clutch after 180hp.

 

[Ford54191]

what about exhaust manifolds? what are compatible with the the 13g turbo? I don't mean to just ask questions and not look but i have been looking on and off all day at work and cant find anything on it.

Scratch that ill post in the exhaust manifold section XD

 

[iminhell]

We have an exhaust manifold section?
huh


The 13g (I assume off a 3000GT or Stealth) won't bolt to any manifold you'll find. You're going to have to use and adapter or weld one yourself.
most all the manifolds you'll find will use a Garrett T3 based flange (rectangle hole) and not a Mitsubishi flange (round hole).
The easiest thing to do is to buy a Garrett based turbo and manifold. Parts are also easier to come by.
