I'm not sure how it would sit, but it would depend on the manifold, and just put some type of pump to drain the oil and it should be fine.

Hey it's been done before so it is possible

Here is my focus. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/maximu..._rip/my_photos

The reason I'm only willing to put 6psi to it, is b/c its an automatic ( hense the trany cooler ).

I like the looks, I like the handling, but the drivetrain is just insanely underpowered ( the manual cars aren't too bad ).

$160 is with manural bends, couplers, and 3'' DP figured in. If you look at some of the other "albums" in the link above you'll see I have a way with making things work...

I owe $5000ish and its only worth like maybe $6300... paid $16K for it brand new. its BONE BONE BONE STOCK ( has 800watts and remote start though )..

WOnder if a turbo kit would increase its value or drop it.. For exsample...
A POS 89 hatchback is worth around $1000... But the same 89' hatchback with a turbo is worth like $3000....

I Made flanges for www.ForcedFab.com that allow you to put a turbo on a stock manifold. The Focus they did was around 225whp.

Yeah they are still working on the web site. They have done lots of cars that they don't list.

Call Carson at 937-533-1730 and tell him Ted sent you.

yah the zx3 uses a "hf style" manifold. you would have to get an undercar cat (if u need it) for emissions.

I know ford racing sells a supercharger kit. maybe you should inquire to them about engine managaement? (JR sells 1 too).
