    SVT Contour Turbo - New to this site.

    Just wanted to say "Hey" to the chicagosvt group. Wandered into this site today.

    I am currently driving an 00 Contour SVT-T. Dreaming of an 03 Cobra for my next toy.

    Anyway...here are some pics of my setup.

    3.0L Swap from 05 Sable. Intake ports matched to stock SVT intake manifolds.

    Looks great! I bet it runs pretty good with that 3.0 and the turbo. :D

    It's at home from ~30+ roll or anything on the highway. Walked some pretty nice cars in the past. Anything less than that and its just a smoke show. FWD FTL.

    I would like to add water injection next spring and up the boost to 14psi. Should get close to 375 WHP with that. Not to shabby for a four door.

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to the first get-together I can attend.


    Yeah, both of my roll restrictors are poly filled. Its probably 99% eliminated now.

    Prior to that it was terrible any time I began to lose traction.

    Yep, it has a Quaife Torque Biasing Differential. The whole trans was built up by Terry Haines in Grand Rapids, MI.

    Spec Stage III Clutch. Stock lightened flywheel.

    Focus Shift tower (stronger than the one put on contour MTX-75s)

    90MM Maf from a Cobra, 39# injectors from a Cobra, SVT Focus 255 Fuel Pump.

    H&R Springs, Koni adjustable struts. B&M Short Shifter.

    3" SS Magnaflow exhaust.
