Is there any SPI fan's here or is it all taken over by Zetec's?

I'm having a blast with mine, I had bolted up a first gen 1.6 Escort GT Turbo/Mani/DP laster year and ran 6psi all year. I got some courage and turned it up to 9psi last night. Pull's really good.

This is in a 93 Escort Pony, 2000 lbs. Manual steering, no A/C and no air bag's from the factory.

Oh it came with the 1.9 SOHC 88hp monster, but the 2.0 SPI is pretty much a direct swap. I have a Zetec that I scored for cheap this winter and I'm prepairing it for the swap some time this summer.

I'm the only one?

nope your not the only one... I too have a SPI, picked it up this past september 2000 SE with 34k miles $5,200.00 and I love it. I was a huge truck fan, I thought I never like the Focus for how small it is and the fact that I was use to driving a full size bronco and F150, but after I got it and tooled around with it I am hooked, I am currently contemplating moding it body wise and maybe a TB and CAI and new exaust or selling my car and getting a '04 ZX5 SVT with a euro package.
