Contour SVT 3L Turbo Initial Starts

[florian341]

Great looking Contour!

In Germany it calls FORD Mondeo

I have one as Wagon :)

V6 Power !

[rs200000000000]

so your using a 3.0L block (built?) with 2.5 heads and intake? stock mtx75 gearbox ?

[TSTraction]

@rs200000000000 Whole Engine is Taurus 3.0 Block and Heads with Contour SVT Cams and Timing equipment and ported to accept Contour SVT Intake Manifolds. Torsen ATB Diff in the MTX75

[rs200000000000]

@TSTraction you kno atonmartin's current v12 is basically two of those 3.0L mazda v6's like whats in your car.

[TSTraction]

@rs200000000000 Yes its funny that some parts are shared out of the Aston but its not many at all. But this isnt the case anymore. Ford doesnt own Aston Martin anymore. And by the looks of the several new Aston Martins on the block I live on, I can assure you there is nothing shared between them.

@TSTraction Whats Goin on Buddy ha ha nice lookin contour

[NitroGadvRules]

@rs200000000000 those are actually ford engines not mazda engines. First car to get it was the ford mondeo/contour 2.5l version, than the taurus, and sable were the first to get the 3.0 version in 96. It didn't end up in a mazda until 2002.

[rs200000000000]

@NitroGadvRules i must be thinknig of the old 2.5 that was in the old mondeo/ contour and mazda mx6/ford probe

[rs200000000000]

The Stazi Mesh kits are no longer made by Stazi. They come up on the forums classifieds every so often. As for mounting them. There is no special way to mount them. The tabs from the bumpers go through the mesh and I used pliers to bend the mesh tighter and then small binder clips to hold them in place. As for the Grill you have to drill/cut out the original mesh (I recommend doing this to a stock contour grill) and then screw the mesh in between the ring and mounts. Contour.org for a how-to.

@TSTraction ahh ok man, thanks, I did discover he no longer makes them, I son't see it being very hard, but as most have said about him, he's a stickler for detail.

I love your car, I've got a 1998 I'm getting, was the 3L swap hard?

and what exhaust did the car have in this clip?

[TSTraction]

@KingOfTheClutch 3L swap is not hard. I had everything done by Aircougar performance at the time. Exhaust is MSDS Headers, NPG catless downpipe, Bassani exhaust. - Amyn

[KingOfTheClutch]

@TSTraction Thanks man, I'm starting work to my car here when the snow hits since I won't be using it.

Love your car, and if you decide you ever want to sell your Stazzi Mesh, hit me up, I'll be all over that.

to encrypt the key with the antenna. is why it is off.

[FordsBetter516]

wouldnt it be easier to run the turbo on the stock engine because its forged?

[pumaunderfire]

good god that engine is awesome lol..... what year is it from?

[TSTraction]

@pumaunderfire 05 Ford Taurus 3.0L Duratec port matched to Contour SVT Lower and Upper Intakes

[shonzy7]

how much did the port matching cost ya if you dont mind me askin?

[TSTraction]

@shonzy7 Aircougar Performance charged me like 150-250? Somewhere around there. I did a engine swap there so he it was factored into the labor.

[RACERKSVT]

were did u get that grill at

[SVTDEMON420]

@RACERKSVT He made it just like mine! Stock grill with screen inserts. The kits are sold on CEG.

[KingOfTheClutch]

@SVTDEMON420 I can't find that kit man, and I want it for my SVT

[SVTDEMON420]

@KingOfTheClutch Stazzi Mesh kits in the CEG forums :)

[KingOfTheClutch]

@SVTDEMON420 I see he no longer does them........SUCKS.

I Just emailed him to ask how he made the mounting tabs, I'll either make my own, or wait till a set pops up on the marketplace.

[eljavystang]

nice man what tubo our runing?

[TSTraction]

Thanks! NPG KIT T3/T4. Since then my engine is out of the car and completely getting stripped for a paint job.
