That's one of the best engines on the market today--keep it and have it rebuilt, or buy a "crate" motor to replace it--however, you can put and early model Jeep V-8, or even a Chevy V-8 with an adapter

I know the 68 took Dextron II or compatable. Dextron IV should work. \n\nThat is for the torque converter only. There is no specific drain plug for the ATF fluid in the torque converter - you DO have to completely remove the torque converter to drain it via the hole in the middle used by the drive shaft. Since the ATF is used only as a pumping fluid, not a lubricating fluid, it doesn't need changing at regular intervals. But it it's looking grey and tired, you can freshen it up by replacing just the amount in the reserviour bottle on the right side (under the fender). You may be able to get a little more out by removing the lines from the rearmost part of the double oil pump too (that's the ATF fluid pump section). \n\nThe GEARBOX oil needs replacing just the same as the manual gearbox (they are the same box, except the semi-auto has no 1st gear - the other ratios are the same as 2, 3, 4 and rev). A good brand 80w90 or 85w90 hypoid gear oil. 2.5 liters exactly for a normal refill, and it should then trickle out the filler hole.

I haven't found any specs on the '06 yet but according to Forbes magazine the '05 Z05 goes 198 mph.

Well you can do something like a nitrous kit thats quick and easy, very cost effective. You can unlock that much with bolt ons too. Headers, full exhaust, cold air intake, plugs, wires, msd ignition box along with their new cap and rotor. Then get it tuned which is very under rated, you can unlock a lot of power through proper tuning. I dont mean hypercrap or supertrash chips but send you ecu to someone and get it tuned to your individual application and it even costs less to do it that way.

The Focus is actually a great car.  Designed by Ford of Europe, it is dynamically superior to the VW Golf which was its prime target.  In fact, VW stole most of the chassis engineers from the Focus to design the new Golf V.  It's that good.  \n\nThe American version is the same basic car with a softer suspension and fewer options.  A great appearance and handling mod is the 17" wheel package from the SVT.  Each wheel is around $175 from the Ford Racing Parts catalog.  The suspension can be cheaply upgraded, and there are a number of low cost performance upgrades.  See the links below for some ideas.

it depends on the type of your veachile. the safest turbos are run at 8 PSI

no, but it shouldnt be too hard all you should need is motor mounts, tranny mounts, possibly a fabricated driveshaft and the rest is wiring, but if i were going through that trouble, i'd use 4.3l chevy and a th350 trans

Yes, it is possible. 100 bhp is plenty to perform this task with the short 1st gear. All these people are giving you completely inaccurate information.\n\nYou need to depress the clutch, rev the engine to the torque peak. Consult the owner manual for the torque peak. Next release the clutch (90%) quickly but not completely while flooring the gas. Do not let the revs drop. Keep 10% of the clutch unengaged and "ride the clutch" for the first couple seconds until the gas pushes it into full engagement. This will give you the fastest launch and the least transmission shock (the clutch absorbs more of the impact by riding it). Hold the steering wheel straight and enjoy your burnout.

I owned a SR20DE (01 Nissan Sentra SE)- this engine is nearly indestructible, the reason I bought one. I would thrash that car on a daily basis, and it gave me 75,000 trouble free miles. The engine dates back to the early 90's SE-R and also showed up in the 200sx and Infiniti G20. The Turbo showed up on more sporty cars like the Silva. The turbo charged versions (SR20DET) have been documented in many tuner magazines and from what I remember could be tuned up and over 400hp. \n   In direct comparison, the internal makeups of theses two engines is the biggest difference. Every thing in the SE20DET is built for heavy lifting(bigger thicker rods..etc..). The Ka24DE(T) is made of lighter parts, which obviously make them more susceptible to breakage.\n   I say old ways are best, there is a huge information base the SE20DET, the KA24DE(T) is only a few years old, hence less support and less knowledge.

it should be a 2.3L 4 cylinder Ford did install some with 8 sparkplugs for better fuel economy.
