there's a possibility that it might fit, but to be 100% sure, i would get an intake made for the cougar.

[Saleen Cougar]

it should, and for 6 bucks, it cant hurt to try

[james99]

the only main thing to worry about is how high it will come off of the throttle body. if it comes to high, itll hit your hood. also you want to make sure its long enough not to hang over the engine, you dont want it to suck of hot air off of the engine.

ok so i should just build my own ?

[skull_heaven]

i thought i had a thread about this. hmmmm any way that looks like it would be for the sohc and would be a damn tight fit. there are other ones on e-bay for the focus that would fit much better just look for focus parts and u should find some for like $10. but make sure it's for the dohc.

here's the link to my post http://newcougar.org/forums/showthread.php?t=94562

that looks exactly like the inside of the I4 cougar to me...i think it should fit

[CincyZetec]

if it's too tall u can always cut it. it's like $10. i'd try it

that is the inside of the cougar:rolleyes: i can tell by the VCT BABY:biggrin:

[crazyoldcougar]

the only thing with that pipe is that is it meant to run along the fire wall...if you have seen them installed in the focus then you see what i mean...they dont bend all nice like ours to get where it sits factory...i think there would be major clearance issues with this pipe and themaster cylinder/ strut tower...the focus engine if i am not mistaken is also situated about 3" to the passenger side of ours...giving it a little more room...

Escort ZX2 has VCT as well..

[skull_heaven]

may I ask why you are posting a picture of your engine? lol. we all know what it looks like. and no, that piping won't fit bc of hood clearence. now you could buy it and try to cut it down some, but that pipe prolly won't be long enough to get over to the side of the fender where the stock box is, putting the filter right next to the engine, which is no good.

1>buy a cougar intake...there are atleast three i can think of.
2>if not buy a bunch of 3" aluminum pipe / bends and all and fab one up yourself...gonna be expensive though..
3>buy an intake from ebay for a any car that looks like the same bends and cut her allto hell to make it fit..

that's what i'm going to try with a focus CAI one:biggrin:

[PeDL2DaMeDL]

Then you're gonna let me know if it works, cause if not im going over to autopartswarehouse @ $133 for a red CAI!!!

[jwheels54]

well i don't know throttle bodies are in different positions

[diddy]

hey man, no need to revive a thread that has already been answered with something that doesn't answer the question, unless you are makin fun of somebody or drunk.

[jwheels54]

my bad

[crazyoldcougar]

lol it was 730...he may have been drunk..LOL

[diddy]

my bad


it's cool. lol. if you're gonna revive it, just have at least a smartass comment to say.:rofl:

[Yofavcracka]

me being the smart ass that i am, im reviving this thread once again...just to say, ok, just because a focuz, and a cougar, have the same engine, doesnt mean you can swap out every part.

[19predator99]

the problem i see is that where would you plug in our sensor!
from that picture i didnt see any hole where it would fit in
