The MKZ is a looker, no question!  Looking forward to developments ...

I look forward to your continued reports!  I also look forward to test driving an MKZ with the 3.0.  I am very curious how the performance stacks up against an SHO or MKS.  Also, very curious if a tune on the 3.0 will provide the same huge gains that we get with a tune on 3.5 ecoboost.

Very nice!  Looking forward to more pics and reviews.

 

[4DRHTRD]

Definitely interested, love the way the car looks

That steering wheel looks heavenly.

IMHO the alcantara PP wheel is too damn skinny....

Sweet upgrades, Zalvern :thumb:  What dashcam did you use?

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

So that has 2 hoses coming out of the box feeding each turbo?

 

[Vortech347]

Where did you get the paddle extenders? Will they fit 13-16 SHO's?

 

[MightBeASynth]

Very nice, looking forward to seeing this build progress. Love the dashcam setup!

Did you get the black label drivers package on yours?


Sent using smoke signals.

Great info there, Zalvern, thanks for taking the time :thumb:  OT, but seems Amazon does not provide discounted extended warranties anymore, I would routinely get offers to add SquareTrade onto the buy.

Any idea what the issue is with developing the intake?  Definitely not as "straightforward" as the 3.5EB for sure.

Maybe paint just the front & rear emblems?

Pcv system looks to be upgrade. Are those the hpfp on the front of the valve covers. And if so there is 2 nd them

If we are looking at the same thing (front being nearest TB?) those look like the VCT solenoids, no fuel and the harnesses look like the one I had to have replaced.

I can't find the pump, lol. What a mess under there!

 

[sholxgt]

Wow!  Ford/Lincoln definitely put zero effort into making a pretty motor!

I am guessing that there's just one fuel pump and it's on the rear valve cover under the intake plumbing?  I can't see one up front.

 

[SHOdded]

The appearance cover should be WELDED on on this one LOL ...

 

[SHOdded]

Mainly a matter of having a test car for build & fitment, a group buy would be nice though, to help with pricing.  Wonder what the differences are between the 2.7EB and 3.0EB in that department.

Take the downpipes off, take it to a CAD station, get the sizing done, send it off to manufacture ... NAH too easy!

 

[92BlackGT]

that's a nice looking car! that may be my next car if they're still making them in 5 years.

 

[Ryan02Stang]

Wow...looks really nice man!  Good luck...can't believe these make 400hp stock!

 

[SHOdded]

I wonder what that plastic piece was. That is puzzling, and possibly worrisome.

You may have to get a set of BND banners and decals   Nothing but the best for ZEO!
