Front Brake TECH

Contour/Mystique (1995-2000) 4 and 6 cylindercars are all equipped with 260 x 24mm front rotorsand standard size ATE calipers.Upgrades: Mintex pads with either standardor cross-drilled rotors are the least expensiveperformance upgrade. Another option wouldbe to bolt on the Cougar or SVT brake set-up, however, this requires buying calipers androtors (expensive). A better option is ourR/S big brake kit which allows for fitting thelarger 278mm SVT type rotors with the standardcaliper. We supply the required brackets andhardware with cross-drilled rotors and highperformance Mintex 1144 pads.

SVT (1998 to 5/1999) cars are equipped with larger 278 x 24mm front rotors and larger ATE calipersand pads than standard Contours. This brake arrangement is similar to what some of the 4WDMondeos and other Cosworth powered Ford cars used in Europe.Upgrades: Mintex pads with either standard or cross-drilled rotors are the least expensive performanceupgrade. We are also working on 4 piston caliper upgrades for use with the standard 278mm rotors aswell as 300mm large rotor and caliper brake kits.

SVT (after 5/1999) also equipped with larger 278mm front rotors but withCougar calipers that utilize the slightly smaller standard Contour pads(read Cougar below).Upgrades: Mintex pads with either standard or cross-drilled rotors are theleast expensive performance upgrade. Another option is to fit the earlySVT calipers and pads, again - expensive (although we hope to have a morereasonable source for the early calipers in the future) We also have 4 pistoncaliper upgrades for use with the standard 278mm rotors as well as 300mmlarge rotor and caliper brake kits.

Cougar (1999-2000) are a combination of standard Contour and SVT brakes.They use the larger SVT 278 x 24mm rotors but with the standard Contoursmaller size ATE caliper using a slightly different caliper mounting bracket toclear the larger rotors diameter. So Cougars benefit from having largerdiameter rotors for increased braking leverage but do not have the largerpad/caliper combo from the earlier SVT. One would think this was a Fordcost cutting measure as the big calipers are quite expensive.Upgrades: Mintex pads with either standard or cross-drilled rotors arethe least expensive performance upgrade. Another option is to fit the

early SVT calipers and pads, again...expensive and really not much of a benefit. We also have 4piston caliper upgrades for use with the standard 278mm rotors as well as 300mm large rotorand caliper brake kits.

Front Brake HardwareWe carry a full line of replacement brake hardware for the ATE Teves type front calipers used on theContour. This single piston sliding pin design is popular with many foreign car manufacturers (BMW,Ford, VW), and for the most part is pretty foolproof, however they have been known to have occasional

problems- usually hardware related as we will cover below. Caliper Slide Pins canbe a problem when the pins become rusty or pitted and doesnot move freely within the bushing. Inspect the pins finishand replace as needed. Caliper Bushings are made of rubber

and are sensitive to heat causing less than optimal pinbushing clearance which has been known to cause aslight vibration (usually felt through the brake pedal)when the brakes are applied lightly. Sometimescustomers are convinced the brake rotors are wrapped

when only the caliper bushings require replacement. Weusually recommend refreshing the caliper bushings when

changing pads to keep everything optimized. Caliper Springsserve both to locate and tension the caliper/pad assembly as well as anti-rattle duty. They usually holdup pretty well as long as they don't get bent up too badly or lost on removal. We don't usually replacethem with every pad change, rather every other- say 60,000 miles or so. All parts packaged to service1 caliper, two required to both.

Rear Brake TECH

Rear brakes on the Contour/Cougar cars can also be confusing. If your 1995-2001car is rear disk equipped they are 253 x 20mm vented rotors and all use one sizerear pad. Rear drum equipped 1995-96 cars are equipped with 203 x 38mm (8")rear drums, but 1997-2001 cars are a mix of the 203 x 38mm (8") and larger 228 x45mm (9") drums. This is probaibly a manufacturing supply issue when the carswere built and the only way to determine which rear drum/shoe set is on youcar is to check before ordering parts. Performance upgrades for rear diskequipped cars would be to go with the Mintex pads and cross-drilled rotorsand for rear drums upgrade to Mintex lined rear shoes.

RotorsBAT inventories a selection of rotors to satisfy both the performance mindedas well as the budget oriented customer.

Econo RotorsConsistent high quality that meets or exceeds all O.E. specifications, andalthough these rotors are inexpensive they are considerably better thanthe usual "white box" specials commonly found at discount parts stores.

Premium European Rotors- Standard & Cross DrilledOur European Group-N rally specification rotors are made from "Carballoy"

(a medium flake graphite fully pearlitic low phosphorous iron)manufactured to BS 1452 - 1990 grade 180/220 standard. Which equatesto longer life with more resistance to warping which is so common withlesser quality (Ford as well as other offshore low budget type) rotors.Looking for more of an upgrade? Cross-drilling brake rotors is an

excellent way to increase brake performance. Theory being thatcentrifugal force will draw excess brake dust and expelled gassesfrom the pad surface through the drilled passages into the rotorsvented cavity and out. This process also improves rotor coolinggiving improved braking response and resistance to fade. The

cross drilling process is handled by computer CNC millingequipment with holes arranged in a parabolic pattern giving an even

sweeping effect to the pad surface ensuring maximum cooling withminimum noise and drag. All holes (drillings) are radiused to minimum

thickness then rotors are rebalanced as the final process.

BAT / Wilwood Brake KitsWe are happy to announce the release ofour 4 piston caliper brake kits for the Contourand Cougar cars. These kits utilize highperformance Wilwood Bil let DynaliteCalipers with custom brackets and hardwarefor installation. At just 4 pounds the BilletDynali te (with bracket & pads) isconsiderably lighter than the standardcalipers 14 pound weight. This goes alongway to reducing "unsprung weight" benefitingboth braking and handling performance.Dynalite Billet calipers are alsoextremely rigid which directlytransfers torque withoutunwanted caliper flex and thelarger piston area equates tomore clamping force. Calipersare all aluminum constructionboth for weight savings andmaximum heat dissipation andare supplied in a attractive blackanodized finish with stainlesssteel pistons and hightemperature seals installed. TheDynalite series of calipers is alsovery well serviced by the brake pad market with literally dozens of pad/compound options available andpads change in seconds without the need to even remove the caliper (a big plus at the race track).

Kit Notes w/278mm rotor: Wheels of 15" or larger are required. Depending on brand of wheel, size/diameter, andoffset, a 5 to 10mm spacer may be required as the caliper may contact the wheel "spokes". Wheels in the 35 to40mm offset range are less prone to problems. We have checked the stock 16" SVT 5-spoke (49et) wheels for fitand they require spacers, but the ST200 & Focus SVT 17x7" (49et) wheels are no problem. Kit Notes w/300mm:Wheels of 16" or larger requited. Depending on brand of wheel (size/diameter & offset) a 5 to 10mm spacer maybe required as the caliper may contact the wheel "spokes". Wheels in the 35 to 40mm offset range are less proneto problems. None of the 49et wheels we have tested (ST200, 5-spoke SVT 16" & 17") fit without spacers.

Large Rotor Brake Kits- FrontThese kits allow fitment of larger (278mm) SVT frontbrake rotors to cars normally equipped with standard(260mm) rotors. Increasing rotor "swept area" in thisway will greatly improve stopping power (leverage) andhelp to reduce high brake temperatures that can causepremature brake fade and poor pedal feel.

Performance Brake FluidNot all brake fluid is created equally. High operating temperatures at thecaliper transfers extreme heat throught the piston causing lesser qualitybrake fluid to boil. This in turn allows the fluid to become compressed andreduces overall braking performance. The best way to counter this fromhappening is to use a high performance, mineral (never synthetic) brakefluid and flush the system after each event for competition or annually onperformance street driven vehicles. Both AP550 and Wilwood 570 brakefluid is DOT approved with a dry boiling point of 550-570 degrees, lowviscosity minimizes aeration and permits easy bleeding.

Suspension TECH

The European based Contour platform offers fairly competent handling right out of the box. Thismakes it a excellent candidate for suspension modifications to make an already good car handleeven better.

Struts- we are currently importing sport tuned struts for the Contour/Cougar cars by the followingEuropean manufacturers; Sachs/Boge, Spax, Bilstein and Koni. Most are European market productsdesigned for the Mondeo, which we have tested for compatibility (fit and performance) on the UScars. See fitting notes below. Note: Cougar's use later 98-2001 Contour Struts.

Front Struts- are different on 95-97 (early) and 98-2001 (late) Contour/Mystique cars. Early strutassemblies utilize a "pigtail" type spring, as located on lower perch. Later 98-99 strut assembliesuse an open wound spring (diameters same at top and bottom). For anyone considering swappingsprings between the model years, it is possible to use later 98-01 type springs with earlier 95-97struts (the strut perch will allow the spring to seat well enough for proper function). Fitting early 95-97 springs to late 98-01 struts is not recommended as the strut perch has no provision for the spring"pigtail" end to seat. Swapping complete strut/spring assemblies between the model years is possible,and has some benefits depending on application and brand of components being used.

Rear Struts- Although some manufacturers part numbers differ between early 95-97 and later 98-99 cars, we don't see any real difference in the overall specification of the component. This meansswapping rear struts between early and late cars should not pose a problem.

Springs- It seems common these days that aftermarket springs are being purchased more for"looks" than any road handling enhancement value. Lowering or "drop springs" are just that, theylower the cars ride height for mostly atheistic reasons. With spring rates very similar to stock (usuallyno more than +10%), these springs are marketed for use on newer cars with O.E. (stock) shocks sothe car will look cool. The handling benefit to this type of spring is minimal. The lower center ofgravity is a plus, but the amount of body lean is still greater than optimum. BAT has developed a truesport spring application for the Contour which combines both lowered ride height with increased ratefor optimal performance. Our spring applications are not suitable for use with standard O.E. shocks. Forbest results they should be used with sport valved (increased rate) European type struts only.

Bushings- We have been involved in manufacturing our own line of urethane suspension bushingproducts for over 15 years. We got involved purely by necessity as the recognize bushingmanufacturers had little interest in making small batches of bushings for the "non popular" Fords wewere interested in. So we invested in having moulds made and BAT currently offers a wide range ofurethane products for cars like Fiesta, Escort, Capri, Cortina, Merkur XR4Ti & Scorpio and now theContour. Our bushing products offer unequaled quality as we use only the finest materials. Shore-Ahardness Uniroyal 78-80 is our choice for precise control without harshness or noise. We have carsthat have been assembled with our bushing products and used (raced) for more than 15 yearswithout showing signs of wear or degradation.

Sway Bars- We recommend increasing the diameter of the rear bar only for better "balance". For thiswe offer a 19mm bar upgrade for standard cars (normally equipped with 16mm), and a 21mm for SE/SVTcars (normally equipped with 18mm). We do not recommend increasing the front bar diameter on frontwheel drive cars such as the Contour. Installing a larger front bar would increase understeer which wouldnot be desirable. The 19mm bars are European Ford imports, 21mm bars are a BAT produced item.

Urethane Sway Bar Clamp BushingsOne of the first suspension modifications you should make is also thecheapest and the easiest. Our heavy duty urethane bar clamp bushingsreplace the soft standard rubber bushes for quicker, more direct,

response to steering input. Theory being, some of the sway barseffectiveness is wasted as bushing deflection. If this can be limited

more of the leverage is transferred making the bar more effective.

ST24 Front SpringsThese factory Ford European ST24 front springs are handy forfitting late type (98 >) struts to early (95-97) cars (struts do notnormally interchange- read suspension tech section). Springrate is on the sporty side (similar to SE/SVT springs) rideheight is standard.

Front Spring ST24 (each) K414 $79.00

Sport Spring Sets

Our specially designed progressive rate -25mm (-1") sportsprings will minimize body "roll" while cornering and reduce"dive" under hard braking. Low and stiff enough for maximumhandling benefit without sacrificing the overall comfort andload carrying capability of the vehicle. Progressive springsare designed to become stiffer (10-50%) as they arecompressed allowing for a smooth transition between (veryreasonable) straight line comfort and high performancecornering. We can supply sport springs for both early (95-97) and late (98 >) 4 and 6 cylinder Contours. BAT sportsprings are made from premium chrome silicone spring wire,cold wound to exacting standards, meeting all ISO/TUV standards.

Notes: Sport springs require fitting struts with more rebound rate thanstandard O.E. types offer. We offer a selection of European manufactured strutsthat are suitable of the task. Lowering your cars ride height also adds negativecamber to the front suspension angles. This is usually not a problem and actually benefitshandling as long as the car is not lowered more than 1"- 1.5" (25mm-35mm). The Contour does not havean adjustment to compensate for large changes in camber and excessive tire wear can occur with additionallowering. Always have the front and rear realigned (set toe) after doing any suspension work.

European Handling KitA "tuned suspension system" offers a matched componentsengineered to work together for optimal performance. This iswhat you can expect the BAT European Handling Kit whicheasily takes a standard Contour (with performance wheels &tires) to well beyond SVT handling performance levels (readsome customer comments below) and is also a greatenhancement for SVT's as well. Our complete suspensionpackage includes a set of German made sport valved gasstruts and matching BAT -25mm sport springs (see springsection). The ride feel is very European, noticeably firm butstill compliant. No loose dental fillings here. Ride height isreduced (-25mm), enough to maximize handling and atheisticswithout totally sacrificing the load carrying capabilities of asedan type car. Additionally buying parts in this "kit" formrepresents a cost savings over individual part pricing.

BAT European Handling Kit (95-2001 Contour) K400A $595.00

BAT European Handling Kit (98-2000 Cougar) K400AC $595.00

Euro Sport StrutsMade in Germany, and specially valved to our specifications, these strutsoffer substantially uprated bump and rebound specification. The shockvalving is especially well suited for use with sport (stiffer) springs and willalso do wonders in place of the SVT's O.E. struts. If you are looking for ahigh quality (yet affordable) gas strut to make your Contour handle up to itsfull potential these are the ones to have. We are so impressed with theperformance of these struts we have made them the basis of our BATEuropean Handling Kit (see above). Front struts utilize late type (98-2000)spring pearch design but can be fitted to earlier (95-97) cars by using latetype front springs. Rear struts interchange without modidfication.

Many owners are concerned about the possible alignmentissues that go along with lowering a vehicles ride height. Wewarn against using springs that lower so much that thealignment will be out of specification even after adjustmentcausing adverse tire wear. To elaborate on this issue we testeda 1997 Contour with a BAT European Handling Kit. The"before" spec. is prior to modification, "after" is with the kitinstalled, and "adjusted" is after alignment is optimized,"specified range" is what would be considered an acceptablespecification range. As ride height is lowered camber changesfrom (-0.02 to -1.20 ) and toe changes from (-0.05 to -0.37 ).Even with the ride height reduced 1.15" the test car is stillwithin camber tolerance at (-1.20 ). Camber is non adjustableand it is important to stay within the maximum of (-1.7 ). Thetoe spec (-0.37 ) is well out of range but is easily adjusted to(-0.09 ) toe out. Camber also changes slightly with the toeadjustment to (-1.25 ). In the rear the toe is again affected bythe lowering to an out of specification (0.31 ) which is adjustedback to an average of the standard range at(.016 ). As the data confirms using the properly matchedsuspension components yields both maximum handlingbenefit without any adverse alignment issues.

Rear Sway Bars Contour/CougarFor increased handling and better balance(reduced understeer) we highly recommendincreasing the diameter of the rear sway bar. Forthis we offer the 19mm European Mondeo rear bar as anupgrade for the standard 4 & 6 cylinder cars (normally equipped with16mm) and for the SE/SVT cars (normally equipped with 18mm) weproduce a custom 21mm rear bar. For maximum performance and ease ofinstallation, we supply the sway bars with urethane bushings. BAT sway barsare the only aftermarket sway bars that exactly follow the original bar bend specifications and are equippedwith bushing limiters to keep the bar properly located (this is the main cause of noise and why some aftermarket swaybars often destroy the mounting clamps). weight specification 19mm bar @ 5.5 lbs., 21mm bar @ 7.4 lbs.)

Bilstein StrutsAnyone familiar with the name Bilstein would most likely associatethem with the high dollar "Rallye" series (yellow color) invertedpiston mono tube dampers they have been offering for years.By designing a series of more traditional twin tube gas strutsBilstein is attempting to bring high quality German manufacturedstruts and shocks to the masses, that is if you are fortunateenough to drive a vehicle that is worthy of their attention. We havebeen pestering our Bilstein representative in Europe for over a yearnow and finally have some of their new, and more attractively priced,product available for sale. Sprintline struts offer genuine Bilstein technologyand quality with features like twin tube high pressure gas pressure design-for precise handling and control, hard chrome piston rod, multi stagevalving with self adjusting piston, and performance that exceeds all originalequipment specifications. After testing these new Bilstein's on a couple of differentContours we are pretty impressed. First we installed a set on a 1996 SE thinkingthe combination of the SE's fairly stiff stock springs and the high pressure valving would be a nicecomplement. You will note that there are very few applications on front struts for these early cars andthese Bislteins paired with the SE springs worked tremendously well together. We then did a similarinstall on a SVT, and like the SE had very good results with the stock springs. The car was noticeablymore firm and well controlled. For the last test we matched the Bilsteins with our BAT -25mm sportsprings to get a feel for their maximum potential and they did not disappoint. Again the car felt very wellbalanced, but with even less body roll and dive (more a benefit of the springs). There you have it,whether you are looking for top quality performance struts to upgrade a standard car, or something tomatch up with aftermarket sport springs these Bilsteins are an excellent choice.

European ST200 Strut SetsFor anyone looking for performance on a budget we have acquired a quantity of Motorcraft European

specification Mondeo ST200 struts. These have fairly sporty valving,similar to what was used on the SVT cars in this country. Struts are

high quality German units made by Sachs to Ford specification.If your SVT is feeling a bit mushy with age or you want to upgradea standard 4 or 6 cylinder Contour or Cougar these would be a

great choice. The best part is the price...how's $224.50 for aset of 4 !!! That's almost like buying 2 shocks and gettingthe other 2 for free. What a deal. Notes: all struts sold assets of 4 only, struts are designed to fit 1998-2001 Contour

or Cougar cars (but could be fitted to earlier cars by fitting latemodel front springs or spring sets designed for later 1998 > cars.)

Front Strut Brace Contour/CougarThis nicely designed OMP front strut towerbrace is just the thing for stiffening up the frontchassis on your Contour or Cougar. Brace endplates bolt directly to the strut towers linkingleft and right sides and allow for loadingadjustment with R/L thread turn buckle andlock nuts. This type of bar actually works quitewell (unlike the ones that attach to the struttop nuts and damage the struts) and can befitted in minutes. Installation only requiresdrilling a few holes and using supplied self-tap fasteners. Bar is supplied in a durableepoxy paint f inish with hardware. Oneinstallation tweak is if you have the front struts off the car (so that the underside of the tower isaccessible) use nuts, bolts and washers for a slightly more secure mounting, but the standardscrew mounting will work for most installations. Supplied color is either yellow or red based onmanufacturers supply.

Rear Strut Brace Cougar ST200Ford did make a small number of ST200 Cougars for the European market, but no one knows for sureif these beautiful rear strut tower braces ever made it on the production cars. These are a factory partwith Ford numbers and markings, but strangely none of the components are referenced on any microfiche(either here or abroad) and car owners say their ST Cougars did not come with one installed. Maybe

these bars were supposed to bea dealer installed accessory thatwas never approved, whoknows? What we do know isall the components are

extremely well made, ifnot over engineered.Bar installs across therear strut tower and

cross braces down tosecure floor mounting that

attach to the floor and lowerstrut towers. All fastening points include stiffening plates. These bars would cost hundreds of dollars toreproduce if you could even entertain doing the stamping for the mounts and plates. If you are seriousshoring up your Cougar's rear suspension and want the absolute best rear strut available this is it. Note:bars are now supplied with hardware.

Adjustable Front Camber/Caster KitThere is only limited adjustment for alignment (toe only) on the Contour cars. Incorrect alignmentspecifications cause accelerated tire wear and less than desirable handling characteristics. Vehicle

lowering beyond recommended ride height, setting up a carfor competition use, adjusting for left/right variation, andcorrecting collision damage are all valid reasons forneeding adjustable camber/caster; which as stock theContour does not offer. We offer these handy kits which

use a offset eccentric top mount and plate design forprecise camber and caster adjustment. Once installed,adjustment is made by removing the top plate lock and simplyinserting a 3/8" rachet and extension into the top plate andturning (with the weight off the suspension). Caster andcamber relation will be determined by the location of the strut

shaft and is infinitely adjustable within a range, depending onposition it is possible to change camber (only), caster (only) or a

combination of camber and caster. Kits are sold each, one is kit required per side. It is possible touse only one side especially when correcting for tolerance issues.

BAT Standard Cone Filter Kit

Air Filter TECH

The standard air box and filter, with it's various baffles and mufflers,is more designed for quiet operation than efficient airflow. Replacingthe standard air filter with some type performance filter offers themaximum "bang for the buck" and should be considered as the firstperformance upgrade for your vehicle. For this we offer a wide selectionof options. First is a simple drop-in free flow panel filter that replacesthe standard filter in the stock air box and is best for owners whorequire a completely stock appearance for emissions inspections orwarranty issues. These performance panel filters use a free flowcotton/gauze type element offering increased filter area which arecleanable and should last the life of the vehicle. You can increase theairflow to the airbox, when using this type of filter, by removing thebaffle/muffler from the inside the fender.

BAT Reverse Cone Filter Kit

inefficient inlet plumbing to the manifold. Fortunately the Contouris far from the worst case scenario. It benefits from a short directinlet tract to the manifold, the filter location is away form the majorheat emitting components and the under hood airflow is more thanreasonable. Under normal conditions (driving 20 mph or greater)the under hood air being supplied to the engine is likely to bewithin 5 degrees of ambient. On the Contour these cone or foamfilters do offer a tangible increase in performance which can befurther enhanced by removing the fibrous sound insulation fromunder the hood. This will help air circulation and help reduce underhood temperatures. We are working on a kit with pre-cut selfadhesive heat resistant panels that stick under the hood offeringbetter sound insulation and heat management (available Fall 2001).

There are a number of filter kit options that replace the stock air filter and box by attaching a filter directly to theairmeter. These filter kits use either cone shaped cotton/gauze or formed multidimensional foam element.Both types less restrictive (free flow) with more filter area over the panel type filter, and can be cleaned for longlife. There have been recent articles claiming these air filters perform poorly certain types of cars. This can betrue as some engine compartments have very high under hood temperatures, combined with poor air flow and

How can you make the cone filter concept better? Adding cooler more dense air to the engine will increaseperformance. This is why you will see all kinds of adaptations with insulated pipes, filters in boxes, filtersmounted in fenders and other sorts. On the V6 Contour insulating the inlet tract is not worthwhile as it is veryshort. Remote mounting the filter just makes it get dirty real fast(requiring constant cleaning) and dirty filters have reduced airflow.Our approach was to leave the filter under the hood where it isbetter protected from water and excessive dirt and simply pumpremote air from the lower grille via a flexible hose directly to thefilter. This required a custom filter designed with an internal air flow"shape" in the reverse cone end of the filter. Working like a diffuseron the inlet of a jet engine, this "shape" helps keep the air flowmore laminar effectively smoothing and speeding the air enteringthe inlet tract through the filter. With our remote air filter kit now it ispossible maximize cone filter concept without any drawbacks.

Take your pick we have a filter kit to suit any requirement. Checkthe next few pages for more air filter and related components.

Air Filter Kit w/Remote Air

The DCAF Performance Air Filter Kit takes the conefilter to the next level of performance (more in thefilter tech on page 18). This well designed kit usesa premium high flow cotton gauze reverse cone filterincorporating a remote air hose attachment. Arugged 1 meter (3.3 foot) 70mm (I.D.) flexible hoseconnects to the filter and is routed through thefender well opening, forward down the inside ofthe wheel well to a location in the front lower grillearea (see below left). Air is supplied directly intothe “reverse cone” end of the filter so that reducedair inlet charge temperatures can be realized. Theengines requirement for air depending on throttleapplication and vehicle speed will dictate the amountof air that is either supplied by the main filter cone or remote air supplied from the reverse cone endof the filter. Once the car is under way a smooth transition between air supplied from under hood toremote (cooler) air takes place. In testing we found that sometimes supplying remote air to the filtercan cause problems. A boundary effect can occur when warm and cold air collide within the filter and

positive air pressure can build up when the throttle is closed. This canstall the air flow causing a stumble in performanceas the engine corrects. The DCAF filter kitaddresses these problems by adding anairflow "shape" in the reverse cone end ofthe filter (see photo at right). Working like adiffuser on the inlet of a jet engine, this"shape" helps keep the air flow morelaminar. This effectively both smooths andspeeds the air entering the inlet tract throughthe filter. We are confident you will be impressedwith both the quality of the kit components andperformance of the kit as a whole. The remote air hose is very flexibleand is easy to route with enough length to reach the lower center grillearea, fog lamp hole (if not equipped with lamp) or just about anywhere

in the front of the vehicle. We also supply a special gasketfor between the MAF adaptor and air meter so that the airdiffuser screen can be retained on the SVT. On the roadengine performance is noticeably enhanced with quickerthrottle response, better pick up (acceleration), and a niceaggressive induction sound.

Filter kit includes: reverse cone filter with DCAF technology,MAF air filter adaptor & gasket, mounting bracket, flexibleremote air hose w/connector and clamps.

Air Inlet PipeWe now offer a large diameter air inlet pipe that replaces the rubber bellows between the air meter andthrottle body on the V6 Duratec engines. Not only does our Air Inlet Pipe look nicer (Jet-hot coated silver)

but it does have better airflow characteristics than the stock rubber part. Airpipes are designed to fit the SVT with either standard air filter oraftermarket cone type filters. These may also be fitted to non SVT carswith V6, however, one of the ports is not used (requires a plug) and theywill not fit with the stock air box (only aftermarket filters). When using our

ITG air filters (see above) a slightly shorter 100mm element isrequired for proper fit. Silicone hose and clamps are includedwith Air Inlet Pipes. Note: pipes are redesigned (as of 9/01)with a larger port for the ACT sensor which puts the sensor inthe air stream and simplifies installation. The other itempictured is our stainless flex-tube air supply hose that connects

from the air pipe to the IAC valve which makes the wholeinstallation a bit cleaner by elimination the bundle of original

hoses and the baffle/muffler found on some cars. Note: not all cars can have the standard IAC air hose andbaffle/muffler removed without a unwanted "moaning" sound coming from the inlet tract.

Attatching Bolt for Damper K5B $2.75

Dual Mass Crank DamperUsed on the latest Mondeo 2.5L V6 Duratec engines these "Dual ModeDampers" reduce vibrations at a more than one frequency. The part looksmuch like the standard crank damper with a second mass ring pressed onthe front, hence dual mode (two dampers). When installed the final resultis really quite amazing. The engine feels smoother and more refined,especially above 4000 RPM where the secondary mass comes into play.We would recommend this part to anyone who uses the upper part of therev range on a regular basis and wants to help extend their engineslongevity. As far as piece of mind goes, if Ford decides re-engineer a partit might be to address a possible problem which in this case makesupgrading even more worthwhile.

Replacement Fuel InjectorsDepending on conditions, fuel injectors start to show somediminished performance after 50,000 miles of use. It wouldbe nice to replace them with the other items that are generallyserviced at that mileage (plugs, ignition wires, fuel filter).Only real problem to that thinking is cost. From Ford at$50.00 each, replacing all 6 can become expensive. Wecan help by offering brand new injectors at a sensible price,allowing most owners replace worn injectors without rackingup a serious bill.

Replacement Fuel PumpsFor various reasons V6 engine equipped cars have quitean appetite for fuel pumps. Burn one up and expect topay 150.00 to 175.00 for a replacement assembly. Wepurchased a quantity of the electric pump portion of the com-plete "fuel pump-fuel level sensor assembly". This way you canreplace the portion of the assembly that goes bad (the pump) and savesome money. Pumps are available for both return 1997-1999 and return-less fuel system 1999 and later 2.5 V6 Contour (not SVT), Mystique andCougars. Pumps are genuine Ford and include new strainer/filter pick-up. We are currently checking to see if the 97-99 return type pump willfit the earlier 1995-96 cars and should have more news later.

V6 Water Pump with Metal ImpellerWater pumps on Duratec V6 engines are prone to failure around50,000 miles (some with as little as 30K). The problem lies withtheir plastic impellers which have been known to crack on theshaft (stops turning) or even disintegrate all together. Either way,lack of water flow causes the engine to over heat. The worst

part is the temp. sensor won't tell the gauge to read hot until it's far too lateand the engine is ruined. Don't let this happen to you. Replace the pumps

before 50K. We have sourced a premium quality replacement water pumpwith a cast metal impeller that has proven to be more reliable.

Electric W ater Pump and ControllerRecently we have had a number of customersquestion us about the feasibility of installing anelectric water pump on the Duratec V6 engine.Some were interested in the 7-10 HP gainassociated with the removal of the standardcamshaft driven mechanical pump. Others werelooking for a way to simplify swapping in somemodel years of the 3.0 V6 engine. After doingsome research based on what pumps haveproven reliable when installed on various typesof race engines in Europe (where electric waterpumps are commonly used) we can recommendthe following components. The water pump is bothlight weight (2 lbs.) and compact in size (5"x5"x3")with directional inlet/outlet fittings to be insertedin the lower radiator hose. It is made from durableNylon and is a centrifugal design with a 300-1300gallon per hour flow rate depending on voltage 4-14 V DC. The pump is controlled remotely by afully adjustable microprocessor unit. The controlunit uses a thermo probe to sense temperature.Set the controller to the desired temperature andit will automatically adjust the rate of coolant flowby regulating the voltage to the pump. Now thewater pump can supply coolant at a flow ratebased on temperature, independent of engineRPM, which equates to more efficient cooling. Thepump can even be wired to run-on after hot engineshut down reducing heat soak. What we hope todo in the future is to further test this system onour own vehicle and as well include a limitednumber of interested "technically oriented"customers who want to do an install and provideus long term feed back.

Accusump Oil AccumulatorThere have been some cases of Duratec V6 engine bearings beingburned up due to lack of oil pressure during hard cornering. Wecan not confirm that this problem will effect all engines, butwe can recommend the best prevention. The mosteffective way to protect wet sump engines from lack ofoil pressure situations is to fit a Accusump oilaccumulator. The Accusump remotely stores a volumeof oil (in this case 1 quart) under pressure to supplementthe engines oil system during maneuvers that cause fluctuationsin oil pressure such as hard cornering, braking and acceleration.. Ifthe engines oil sump pick-up becomes uncovered the Accusumpwill discharge (for up to 20 seconds) supplying oil pressure until theoil supply to the pump is returned. Discharged oil is returned to theAccusump when normal oil pressure resumes. An added benefit is the unitalso pre-oils the engine by supplying oil pressure before start-up. Accusumpmounts remotely in the engine bay and is electrically controlled with a solenoid valve wired to theignition switch.This supplies oil through hose to the oil filter location to an adaptor mounted between the block and the filter. Thisis the oil input to the engine on non oil cooler equipped cars (pictured). For oil cooler equipped cars (most SVT's)we can supply components to run the oil supply directly to one of the engine block oil galleys.

Accusump Kit K2AE $349.00includes 1 quart cylinder (size12" x 3 1/4"), electric valve, hose- 6' length Aeroquip FC333, Aeroquip fittings(1) straight (1) 90 degree, Mocal sandwich adaptor and fittings.

High Performance Oil CoolerWe supply the same high efficiency laminar water to oil heat exchangers that are currently being used throughoutthe racing industry. The Laminova oil heat exchanger consists primarily of two pieces of extruded aluminumprofiles, the core and the shell. The inner surface of the core is optimized for efficient water flow rates, lowpressure drop and minimum risk of fouling. The outer surface of the core is optimized for maximum liquid (oil) to

surface contact, laminar flow, low pressure drop and high heat transfer.The assembly of both sections is sealed with o-rings, ensuring

that the unit is resistant to vibration and pressure pulsation.The Laminova cooling concept can be best described as

an almost infinite number of interconnected laminarcooling fins. Each fin is 3mm in height by only 0.2mmthick. The oil flow gap between the fins is 0.3mm. Bythis arrangement the oil flow is continuously interruptedand restarted after an optimized flow length. An addedadvantage is the coolers ability to deaerate oil thatpasses through the unit. These small and efficientdevices mount easily in modern cluttered engine

compartments. Our Duratec V6 kit includes a 90mmLaminar Cooler with 5/8" hose fittings designed to plumb in

the engine heater coolant circuit with a Mocal sandwich platethat mounts between the block and oil filter to facilitate oil flow to and from the cooler. We also supply Aeroquiphose and fittings for plumbing the oil lines. Note: some SVT's are factory equipped with a water to oil circulatorbetween the block and filter. This "doughnut" type of oil cooler is limited in its capabilities and would be betterreplaced with one of our Laminar Oil Cooler Kits.

Baffled V6 Oil PanNew 03 Duratec oil pans offer additional baffling forimproved oil control. We can't come out and saythat this is the answer to oil related engine failurein the 2.5L V6 engines, but it is interesting for Fordto make changes to the 2003 version of the oil panwhile holding the party line "there is no problem". Weall know automobile manufacturers are extremelyreluctant to spend money re engineering parts unlessthere is an issue that requires attention. Is this anadmission on their part? Take it all for what you may, here i sthe latest specification oil pan kit that includes all the componentsrequired for installation (pan, drain plug, gasket, and fasteninghardware). Only time will tell if this version of the pan is the definitiveanswer to the Duratec's oil related problems, but at less than $100.00you get quite a bit for your money and it should be considered a cheapinsurance/upgrade.

High Performance Oil Filter SystemThe Canton Mecca spin on filter system is the finest oilfilter available for your engine and since the Duratec hasissues with oil control we feel using the ultimate filter isnot a bad idea. CM filters combine typical spin-on filterconvenience with canister filter performance. A machinedbillet aluminum housing accepts a proprietary high flowreplaceable element. Simply remove (spin-off) the filterassembly, remove the end plate (accessing the element),swap in a new element cartridge, reassemble and spin-on. How is a CM filter different? The filter uses areplaceable "depth filtration" element made of wovensynthetic fibers. Millions of intertwined passages catchcontaminants and provide superb flow characteristics. CMelements filter out particles down to 8 microns and have

a flow rate greater than paper "surface area" filters without the need for a bypass valve (full flow allthe time). Depth filtration filters last longer (as much as 10,000 miles) because of greater area tocatch contaminates without restriction oil flow. If you care to have the absolute best oil filter systemavailable this it the one to have. Also consider that once you own filter the cost of replacementelements are not really much more than premium type spin-on filters and since the elements do notneed to be replaced as often the CM system pays off over time.

Monza Performance Exhaust for CougarThe Monza cat-back exhaust for the Cougar not only performs well and sounds great, but isalso inexpensive enough for every owner to afford. Systems are made from mandrel bent(2 1/4" center / 2" dual tail) high grade aluminized 16 gauge steel with low restriction mufflerand chrome plated resonated (3 1/4") exhaust tips. The quality on these systems is topnotch. The mandrel bends are free of any shrinkage or distortion for maximumflow and the machine welding is also artfully done. You could not duplicate thissystem at a custom muffler shop for anywhere near the price. A stainlesssystem would also be a good choice, but we don't think there is always theneed to spend the additional money as you wont realize any performanceadvantage with stainless other than the longevity of the material. Note:although designed to fit the Cougar we have successfully installed these onthe V6 Contour as well, you have to fiddle abit with the mountings on therear tips.

Product Note:With the ever escalating cost of Borlaexhausts we have been searching for areplacement "high end" system to sell. In factwhen we sell our remaining inventory of Borlathe price will have to go up at least another$50.00 leaving us unsure how much demandthere will be for $700.00 exhaust systems.We have sampled a number of alternativebrand systems and have not been all thathappy with their sound. Most are way too loudand resonate badly at highway cruise. Wewere excited to receive a call from a Bosalrep informing us of their new exhaust for theSVT. Upon receiving and installing a systemall we can say is wow . Great quality, fit, andfor once a manufacturer got it right in thesound/noise department ! Take into accountan a truly affordable price and the Bosalsystem is a slam dunk. (read more below)

Bosal, one of Europe's largest OE exhaust suppliers, brings their extensive knowledge and expertiseto the aftermarket with their Bosal Performance (once Brospeed) exhausts. These systems exudequality, utilizing heavy gauge T-304 stainless steel which is carefully polished to a show like luster.All joints are flange-fit, so there’s now worry about slip fit joints to work loose and cause leaks.Mufflers come with 3" rolled edge angle-cut tips. If you require, they can be unbolted and swappedout for any of Bosal’s other tips for a different look. Exhaust note is mellow without being raspy ortinny with no highway resonance or drone. Another neat feature of this system is the rear mufflers aretunable and can be fitted with an optional insert baffle if a really quiet exhaust note is required.Performance wise one can expect a 6 - 8 hp gain, which is most notable above 4000 rpm where theengine feels more "revable". Bosal Systems are sold with a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty. Wefeel confident you will agree, when you take into account performance quality and price nothing onthe market compares.
