No need to look for Focus parts, ZX2 has its own goodies, hehe...

Did you pick up an Auto or Manual?

The Jackson Supercharger won't fit a ZX2, scratch that one for now.

Depending on whether or not you got an Auto or Manual I'd say this. If its and Automatic, B&M Tranny Cooler and Superchip to start, those 2 will compliment the slushbox nicely.

After that, open it up some with an Intake (Iceman, Hotshot, K&N Typhoon, etc.), Header (JBA & Hotshot Shorties if you want to keep the cat & Hotshot 4-2-1 if you want the best power gain and don't care about the cat), Exhaust (Custom, or Hotshot makes 2.5" setup thats very nice). Those 3 would be a good start. After that its all up to what you want to do.....

Pretty much anything you can think of I can list for the ZX2:
Esslinger or AFX Underdrive pulley
Accel or MSD Coil pack (no HP gain, but either way)
Magnecore, Ford Racing, Nology all make Spark plug wires
GUDE(Throttle Bodies, Head packages)
Esslinger Head packages
Esslinger Cams
Esslinger Cam Gears
B&M Short Shifter
Energy Suspension Motor Mount Inserts (Best for the buck)
Energy Suspension Master Bushing kit
So on and so on.....


Hehe, I could go on and on. If you want man, just give me a call sometime if you have questions, need help installing, etc. I've had a ZX2 since 1997 so I know the ins and outs. Nobody locally sells ZX2 parts right out, I'm sure plenty can order them. Just go through

I know the owner personally and he has pretty much all you need.

I've seen a few ZX2's with the Jackson supercharger on them. I dunno if they had to fabricate anything but they are both ZTEC engines.

Where did you see a supercharged ZX2?

I've been around the online ZX2 community since the car came out in late 97 and there hasn't been one outside of the Roush Fusion ZX2 that I've ever seen. Obviously, that doesn't mean there isn't one. I know that the Jackson S/C kit for the Focus/ZX3 Zetec is not a direct bolt on. If you know of a S/C'd ZX2 running around or have see one online besides the Roush one, I'd def. like to see it.

They do both have Zetec's but they still have there differences.

Here's the Roush Fusion ZX2:

Last time I went to New Orleans to visit relatives it was in Mobile. I went to a car show there. I will ask my cousin if she remembers what club the guy was in.

i got an integra you can run bone stock motor, stock exhaust, stock intake, stock everything except for suspension and that is set up for cornering, not drag. If ya would like to try just come on down with all of us to TR track day. oh and trust me your govenor will not matter in the 1/4 mile because you wont get close to it.
