Minnesota Focus Owners Club

i cant wait till next summer. i am going to try to get to 200 hp and around 200 tq. with out nos and turbos. i am going to try doing it with all bolt ons.nothing crazy and with the stock Engine and stock headers and cat. i got the cai and im going to do a chip and tb. maybe plugs and maybe a try another Exhaust. i have high flow on ther now but there might be something better. and then im going to tune the hell out of it. im going to learn everything i can about this car. i want to make it so its runs with no truble at all. no break downs it has to run at its best everyday.

Thats typically what most people aim for....


LOL



I can't wait for next summer, to get my lip on, and my new rims. Hitting the show scene with her more. I'm gonna work on my sub box this winter, so it will be close to fineshd next spring. The cars got the looks, the interior, the engine, and I'm gonna thro my DVD player back in it, along with my subs, so it'll have some ICE as well.

The Kona will eventually get the susp. I've got sitting here. Along with a beefier rear sway. Then I'm gonna make a custom intake, cuz I'm cheap with this car, and don't want to spend alot of money...LOL Maybe some other cheap power adders. But the car really does'nt need alot of power.

I'm waiting until Spring Break. Let's just say I have a few dollars into parts collecting dust. Prepare to see a changed paint scheme, new body changes, significant interior changes, and significant engine work....

Just you wait

i know whats gonna happen...

Let's see... I uhh... have parts I need to pick up from co_macho for spring. Yeah.. I think that's it. woOt!

Man, I can't wait until spring break either! I just have to make up my mind on which route to go with!

well if im a good boy this xmas ill be getting a power works , and a quafie lsd, but then im on my own for a solid fly wheel and a five puck sprung hub clutch

next summer I should be pulling 10's on the 1/4 w/o a power adder.

Sorry to burst your bubble but . . .

200whp is very hard on the stock internals espically if your starting out with the zetec.
For instance if you can find the 'post your dyno' thread that scotty made (I lost it) you will see my dyno from a few years back in there. I cannot recall what I all had done at the time but I know it was most of the stuff I still have done.
FC 1-3/4" 4-2-1 header
FC 65mm tb
FC alternator and crank underdrives, a/c totally removed
Performance Distributors livewires and coil
Diablo sport delta chip
Pro-M 70mm mass air meter
170* thermostat

I think thats it for "power adders". I only got to 130whp. I don't see anyway even with cams that you are going to get 200 w/o doing some internal work.

Just my opinion.


John

i think he's talking about his ST motor instead of zetec

Iminhell: Lox has a brand new ST duratec so 200whp NA is certanly doable.

As far as myself Im thinking of re-painting the whole car, Also the entire hood, no more strip down the middle on the hood. One solid color, part of it is to hid the rock chips and such on the CF hood but just to draw less attention to the front of the car, also it'll be nice to get fully matching body parts again.

Then gonna get the Mach1 lip

Finally get window tint

and looking at getting a set of beater wheels for autox, also beffier rear sway, get my coil-overs re-adjusted.

I want to start doing autox events on sundays, give me something to do and a reason to keep the focus.

yeah, i had all the bolt ons you can have w/ p and p head and cams. and i only hit 150hp, i think it would be hard to hit 200 w/o high comp pistons, cams and a race header

Well it was more of a "polish" than a port remeber what Matt said, he said the head looked stock, and also compaired the measurements with rod's head and they were damn near the same.
