Where do you get Xylene at?

Paint stores, it's paint thinner.

make sure its 100% PURE!! you don't want mixed or diluted stuff!!

my 3.0L SHO motor will "fit in our cars" but not without EXTENSIVE work. I can't imagine the SVT Zetec motor being a bolt-in job...the trannys are different, the computers a re different, everything is different.

Sigh**

I miss my 93 SHO!!! Damn I wish car dealers would quit giving me so much for my used cars and temping me into buying new!!! First the SHO, then the fOCUS, what next??

 

[Turbo Matty P]

to fit the SHO motor you either have to completely remove the passenger side fender or shorten the drivers axle and move the entire engine/tranny over about 4". This also affects every bit of wiring. Not to mention will severly hamper weight transfer....but good god imagine the burnouts!!

p.s. know anyone who wants a freshly gold-serviced 124K mile SHO engine??

Don't f**king tempt me. I know of another fOCUS I would like to put it in. Or even a Festiva (remember the SHOgun?)

 

[stdntDrvr]

you'll have penty of time to try that out...while living in a van...down by the river!

[threadjack] Guess what?! I know the guy that has the last unused SHOgun kit. he asked me for $1200 for the whole kit!! I had to pass due to money problems!! damnit!! [/threadjack]

I think you could get 225 or 200 hp out of the motor N/A..

plain and simple, you would have to do plenty engine internal work and strengthening(sp) and ditch the mazda ecu and use a stand alone for fine tuning..
Reliability may go out the window though..
-- don't forget high compression motor

 

[Turbo Matty P]

225hp 2.0L motor is no problem with 12:1 compression, standalone ECU, huge fuel system, custom intake manifold designed for PEAK numbers, not decent powerband, huge catless exhaust with no torque....

yup 225 NA is doable.

 

[tonkabui]

well, tri point is laying down that figure on their proteges, so i'm sure it's doable. i hear now that they are out of the protege scene and making runs in the mazda 6 now... but i'm not sure about that.

 

[PR5Matt]

Dude,....you gettin NAAAWWWWSSSSS!!

That's like fingernails on a chawk board. I've even had to bring in pics of my 'Stang's nitrous bottle to prove that it isn't flamable!!!! Damn that F&F!!!!

THANK YOU!!! noone believed me it wasn't flammable, its an accelerator not a combustant

well really it's an oxidizer. It just adds oxygen to the flame, ie, makes an existing flame burn brighter. The reason N2O is not flammable is because it takes the high temperatures of 565F of a combustion chamber to break the nitrogen away from the oxygen, at which the oxygen adds more air to the fuel mixture.


Blow N2O on a match or small fire, watch how it gets blown out =p

 

[PR5Matt]

Just watch the PRESSURE!

dont forget-people will argue till they grow a third nipple bout this- but lightening the car WILL add hp. numbers dont lie

 

[DayOh257]

Uh.... I think you mean lightening the engine internals (i.e. forged rods, etc.)
Lightening the car only helps it perform (e.t., acceleration, handling). I don't think it gives the engine any more power....(uhm)

i hope you are joking, what you just said is like saying "i removed my winshield wipers and gained 2whp" seriously tell me you were kidding....

 

[twilightprotege]

i think he was referring to the fact that removing weight from the car has the effect of adding hp. ie a 150whp car weighing 2000lbs will be much faster than a 150whp weighing 3000lbs with all else being equal

 

[akhilleus]

Lightening the vehicle will help. I figured about this 40lbs=1hp+- So 400lbs difference =10hp etc etc. I figured this out through some crazy comparison between vehicles weight. Dont ask me how now since i forgot but it was accurate. When i had 3people in my car the other day =400lbs and it felt like i had lost maybe 8-10hp.. now this isnt added to or subtracted from the hp ratings its just to adjust for perf.

get some body kits that would be pimp
