Ford focus SVT turbo
 

ok here we go. My buddy bought a 2003 ford focus SVT
170 hp z-tec engine

who is up to the chalenge to build a manifold for it, same head as non SVT?

build a manifold and make with adapter plate to suit a turbo that will work on the set up

u find the turbo u want to use and build it

I need people to give me there ideas and price, give or take

ps he race a tricked out prelude h22 and lost, the q-mile time on it stock is 16.00
ahah ah aha ha ah. $15000

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

This sounds morelike a "wanted" ad. Check out some of the sponsors, maybe one of them can make a manifold for you.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

not a sponser thing more like a project for cash thing. he wants soome home made turbo ---- after he seen mine and checked out the sight but i dont like to work on fords or have access to to one for specs

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

i would go take some pics and measurement and make a wanted ad

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

if he needs an alternator for it i have one for sale, brand new, haha

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

not what we need to go faster

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

WTF ??? stock 1320 time for an svt focus is definatley better than a 16 flat. No ---- he lost to a prelude though, wonder why

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

nope specs say like a 15.8 perfect time
he ran the car and got a 16.0

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

sell the ford and buy a HONDA ! ! !

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

lmao tru dat

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

you can use the stock exhaust manifold with an adapter plate go to www.focusfanatics.com or www.focaljet.com my budddy used to be really big into them me and my brother helped him build the fastest n/a 4cyl focus in the world (non shop owned)

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

thought focus' were really weak when boosted. Though i read somewhere that you shouldn't boost em more than 5 or 6 psi :l

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

alot of guys are running homemade setups with t25 on 4-7 psi i went to a dyno day event with my buddy and there was a guy there named b.j. (from az) with a white four door with a c/f hood he put down 286 whp on stock internals at 16psi on c16, after the dyno he was racing the shop owners sti on the street hanging right with it lost about a car from a dig and won by a bout a fender from a roll

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

I'll sell you my log manifold for it for $100, just needs a turbo flange of your choice welded.
Made the manifold 3 years ago but never used it, all stainless steel.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

that wouldn't be a very good choice if you want to go fast

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

OK, so what your saying is that HONDAS ARE SLOW ? :1 ?

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

... they are....

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

then a FOCUS ???

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

It's all relative. Most hondas are built for fuel economy, just like the focus/escort. Don't think your honda is some race car, because it's not. Why do you think this site exists?

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

back on the topic. honda<ford or honda>ford ???

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

How about get back on topic and help this guy with his question, and not your queer brand loyalty quibbling.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

OK fine, call Sam at 281 856 0400 he'll make you a flange for $35+s&h and you make your own manifold.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

your right there is no honda racecars...... :3

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

---- you i am on course i proveded more info then anyone here and am now pointing out ---- people said like a honda is not a race car ... well ive seen alot so he is a dip ----

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

thanx alot guys i will talk to him tommorow about that log mani and i will give him the websight.
buy the way its cool for a focus. 6 spd tranny kinda quick on the street it comes with a real nice interior amd its the same tranny trhat comes in the cooper S talk to u guys on tues

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

It's easy to build a turbo kit for the focus, kind of same as for the civic, problem will come when you will ask for a cheap fuel management. There's now cheap way for fuel management in the focus. You have to think about it first.

There's the Pectel full stand alone that cost a lot $$$$$
The best choice would be the SCT that is like hondata, you can change near anything in the stock ecu, but price around 800$. Plus injector and MAF
There's some diablo chip around 300$ but not tunable. Plus injector and MAF
There's a member on one of the focus board, that sell a complet fuel management as a chip MAF and injectors for around 850$.
You can't put an fmu in it.
You can't put an AFC in it.

You can try Megasquirt but I don't think it as been done yet.

Good luck with the svt

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

i dont know how old this thread is, as i just signed up. i have a homebuilt turbo focus, and i can personally say it was an awesome project and im very happy with the results, HOWEVER the focus is in no way a cheap build. if it wasnt for me buying all brand new parts for my build, it could have been cheaper, but i spend $4k to do it, race clutch included. the tunning software from SCT now is $650, not including maf and injectors. im using a mustang cobra maf sensor in a custom 3" tube, in blow-through, and 42# ford racing injectors. the zetec motors are actually very strong, and there are guys running upwards of 14psi on the stock motor with good tunes, and the best stock focus hp# was 365whp on 17psi using the pectel standalone and a kenne-belle boost-a-pump.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

Hey man, hit me up, as I told you earlier We are a little time on our time schedule, but we can get it done.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

Turbo focus is a very good idea. THese engine can take some abuse.
I personnaly own a turbo focus and I love it.

I make two different setups. Here they are.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

Are the pistons/rods/crank forged on the focus?
Erich

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

SVT yes.
Zx3 no.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

the reason high boost is a bad idea is due to the high compression ratio

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

i have been boosting 9 psi on my ZX3 for the last 3 years and no problems!
On the SVT, as explained by others, you can't really boost more even if it's a stronger engine because of the higher compression but in turns, the same amounts of boost will make more power on the SVT.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

well ive been trying to peice together a turbo kit for my focus for about the last month now, and the one think i discovered is that there is no ------- room in the engine bay, so if you have a turbo that you cant rotate the exhast inlet and compressor housing your in for a fun ride. a couple pointer for a turbo focus make sure it is a draw thourgh system and if the black is the same as a ZX3 then their some torx screws in the back of the block you can tap in for oil.

my kit so far
MAF - got it from a 2001 mustang GT (alot cheap then getting a pro-m meter)
42lbs bosch injectors
knock off greddy bov
autometer boost and oil press gagues
ebay china FMIC

and im getting the car tuned by steeda so no need to buy expensive flashers or ECU's

a great sit for focus stuff is focus.c-f-m.com

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

I wish I was closer to steeda when i did my tuning it just got to be so much money with that flash tuner, i spent about $800 on all the turbo parts but the management was another $800.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

i got the whole pro racer package for $650 when they came out with the xcal2 setup. ive been boosting 10psi for about a year and a half now and i love my turbo focus. also the space issues i resolved by ditching a/c, and then pulling the radiator/fan assembly butt-up against the front bumper core support, and drilled holes through the upper core support for new mounts. gave me an extra 3-4" in there. ive also relocated my battery to the stock airbox location.

Re: Ford focus SVT turbo
 

cp is so much easyer to run when you move the battery to the stock airbox location. also how well does that sct pro race work and do you need to xcal flasher with it?

guys wats up im a new member i have a focus svt i want to do a hmt on my focus svt i want know wat kind of turbocharger i can use my engine is to 2.0. my goal hp is 200whp-230whp and wat is the average cost for a homemade turbo kit. also i was thinking of doing a rear mount but trying to decide. wat do u guys think front mount turbo or rear???
