Just installed my second custom Turbo in my Focus this weekend. All work done myself, and this time I treated myself and installed a Tial 35mm WG, vented to the Atmos. and let me tell you...IT SOUNDS AMAZING!!! I am using a T3 with .63A/R turbine and .60A/R Compressor. I am running the ,45 Bar...

WOW, that is expensive for a manifold. I can get one made, out of 304 stainless steel (Flanges, pipes and welds) for MAX 400$ US. I am getting one made for my car this week. It's a focus, but I am sure that if we get a MP3 in there, they can make one for you guys too!

Just want to input something here. For the Focus, some guys were blowing their engines with 170whp andon the other hand, one guy that made a kit is running 300whp on STOCK INTERNALS, his secret, fuel and timing. He custom burns a chip for the ECU that increases fuel and retards timing as the...

OK, I know I am just a Focus Owner but my buddy has an MP3 so that is how I got here! :) Just MAYBE to shed some light a little. The Focus has 130HP at the CRANK! From the Dyno results of several stock Focus' we have seen numbers rangeing anywhere from 98whp to 110whp. And I am serious...

That is just in reply to GonzoATX about Octane. NOW, about why they recommend Higher octane gas, MUST be since they advanced the timming, how much, I dunno. Anyone know?? [ 01-10-2002: Message edited by: Jays2000ZX3 ]

The type of gasoline to use is one of the most misunderstood areas of vehicle ownership. I am going to offer some ideas that I hope will save you a few bucks on gasoline. The first rule of thumb is that higher octane gasoline is not necessarily better for your vehicle. WHAT IS OCTANE RATING...

I jsut had to comment, Performance, bodykit? Hmm, I think 25hp? haha Kidding!

I just have to reply since I was there when the guy did it. THen we drove on the highway for about 45 minutes, and when we stopped, we checked the aluminum pipes, the one that goes into the fender well was ICE cold, the filter housing was ICE cold, and the other aluminum pipe was cold. This is...

Wow, that was mature. I was mearly stating that my Focus at 140 WHP and 141.7 ft-lbs of torque at the WHEELS, and I have a Dyno chart to prove it, can beat my buddies MP3.

Mike Buddy! You made it to the MP3 Board! Awesome! I come here when I am bored! hahaha Should be ordering my Bosal next week, I am so anxious!

I wish I had some competition for my focus! :( I beat my buddies MP3 about a month ago, but now, for some reason, I gained 25hp at the wheels, we raced again tonight for fun, I let him go a head, and I caught up quick, Maybe it has something to do with the new mods, I dunno! hahaha If there...

Apparently some people have not heard of jokes, or friendly rivalry? nevermind............. [ 12-19-2001: Message edited by: Jays2000ZX3 ]

I have Eurathane motor mount insert on my Focus, it is not that bad for the vibrations. But when you have the AC on, it vibrates like crazy, only at idle, anywhere above 1000Rpm you are fine.
