For the past few months I've had a 2002 intake manifold on my car cause i thought my 2000 manifold was messed up. It was actually the air idle control sensor that was bad. Any ways, over the weekened chris aka ctzx3 helped me put back on my 2000 intake manifold which he ported for me and holy cow! My last dyno showed 142 and the car feels totally different from 4000 - 6700rpm. All you guys with the 2002 style manifolds should definitly get a 2000 manifold thats been ported and bored to match your focus central throttle bodies. Im pretty sure on the dyno i am gonna see a nice difference. Talk to ctzx3 about getting a 2000, cause he has a bunch just sitting at his house. The job takes about an hour. After doing it a bunch of times me and chris got it down to 30 minutes.

You're saying he has some sitting around already bored out? If so, I'd buy one.

 

[CTZX3]

i have brand new ones, but i can bore and port it for anyone.

What are you charging for manifold and porting?

Ok, so you just port this like you do a Throttle Body? With regular Dremel bits?

I have not looked at one inside so I don't know how much can be taken out but I am sure in a boost application you need to keep a little bit more meat on there?

Also, any tips on removing the stock Intake manifold? From the top or bottom? I never took that off!

Chris post pics to show the difference in the 2000 and 2002 design. The runners on the 2000 are longer. My car feels like its getting the air its been starving for.

 

[GospeedracerGo]

Must guys bore out the opening where the throttle body sits on the manifold. Since chris has the manifolds off the car. He can port the runners where the manifold meets the head. Larger runners equals more air. More air equals more power. riiiiggght

So what's the diff between stock 2000 and 2002 manifold? I remember seeing that 2000 manifold flow alot better than 2002 one, but anyone have some exact #?

 

[CTZX3]

please PM me for pricing.

here is a pic of the early 2000 model one, it was only available on cars built in 1999.

Focus Central dynoed these, and they added about 5hp.

[CTZX3]

here is the new design, pretty poor, and only for cost reasons too.

 

[iamgod]

if the 2000 add 5 what do the ford racing add?

I have been meaning to ask this for a while with all the posts about it...

You all say that the cars built in '99 have the first gen intake manifold. Well is that the mexican zx3's too or just the sedans? (As I recall the early wagons just had cvh engines right?)

I have two ZX3's one manufactured Monday October 11th 1999 and another made Wednesday May 10th 2000. Neither have the first generation intake.

So I guess I just spoiled your theory of the Oct 99 cars having the good intake. Did they not use those in Mehico?

 

[Maxis24]

I have a slip that says my Focus was manufactured on Oct 11th 1999. I have the +5hp intake manifold on mine. CTZX3, if I was interested, then you would take my 2000 intake manifold and port/bore it out? Is that what you are saying that you are doing?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">if I remember right, all ZX3s are made in mexico, sedans in wayne. or at least the greater proportion like that. but im not sure. anyways, are you sure you dont have the 2000 manifold?

 

[daveszx302]

Doesanybody know the part number for the early intake? I called the local dealer and he wants the engineering # off of it to cross it over

He told me it either starts with
988f or
WS4E
Any of you guys with the "good" manifold, can you help a newbie out!

 

[biker50610]
