Would da Focus CAI fit da Cougar's I4???

[Icsorrow]

Since the Focus also has a Ztec i kind of though some parts would fit a Cougar. M i wrong. I'm trying to get a cold air intake for my cougar. but i could only find short ram intakes. So i was thinking of getting a focus intake instead, n just do some modifications as to make it fit. So your info would much appreciated thnx.

2000 SVT Focus CAI will fit with a battery relocation, otherwise it looks like this...http://www.newcougar.org/forums/videos-pictures/113058-custom-intake-svt-focus-i4-cougar.html

90 degree spectre pipe (with some form of sealing it to the throttle body since it's slightly loose), 6 inch straight pipe, 3" coupler, aluminum "intake pipe",angle it down under the battery.. MAF adapter pipe connects to the end of that.. MAF should reach you may need to remove a zip tie holding it, then put on the filter.. if you want to go further, you can pipe it forward to the front bumber.. a 90 in place of the filter should get you at a decent angle to start piping.

Wow! I think I'll go with that. Thnx.

you'll also have to figure out a way to get a pcv breather filter thing on there unless you're going to pipe it back into the intake. I just kept the stock hose and put a small piece of aluminum pipe in it to make it larger.. then bought a push on breather at autozone to put on it.

Just get a K&N Drop in! The gains from an intake on a Zetec would be about 1whp lol

[c0alition]

whoa whoa whoa.. 1whp?.. idk if i'd even give it that much ha.. i do get better mpg.. about 3+mpg better.. and it sounds cool when i rev.. that's about it.. does k&n make one for the cougar? i looked didn't think they had anything except a "high flow" filter for the stock air box..

that's what a K&N drop in filter is...

[c0alition]

ooo.. i was kinda thinking that after i posted but wasn't sure..

[kpeeks]

It will work with some modification....thats what I'm running currently. Although if you want quality, buy one from zxtuner.com. There's one made for the Cougar, plus no modification.

[c0alition]

that's a short ram.. not that either will give noticeable difference in driving.. although the short ram does seem to have a little better throttle response.

My focus one I got was a CAI not SR, but when it was all chopped to fit it basically came out like the ZXtuner one, which is the closest the zetecs come to a CAI setup. The pipe I have left over from the kit you could prolly make it into a true cai, most I'd need is about 8" of straight pipe from autozone.

[c0alition]

yea.. i'm pretty happy with my CAI on the cougar.. but i live in louisiana.. so i should have probly just left it short ram and been done with it.. it just got done flooding like a foot of water down my road.. and anything bumper and up my filter get's soaked. I still haven't gotten hyrdo lock yet though.. weird.. but either way.. i'm not sure a CAI makes anymore of a difference than a SR does.. atleast not on the I4

[kpeeks]

Starting out it doesn't give you a big bump in power, but it does keep your engine in good working order & gas mileage up. The SR brings in hot engine air which kills gas mileage & can harm the engine in the long run.

[c0alition]

yea that's one thing i'm loving.. it's keeping my gas usage down while i'm killing my self on budget for my turbo build haha.. when i drive normal i'm getting like 5mpg more? it's seomthign crazy like that.. i was very impressed..
