Steven,

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

what kinda cam gears are those?

look nice! i hope to watch some vid soon!

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

Super nice build. I'm a fan of the unconventional.

I read a while back about a Focus turbo kit that had the turbo mounted very low. So low that it needed an electric pump and reservoir to move the oil out of the turbo and back into the motor. I had to do this on my setup (probably could have avoided it if I mounted the turbo differently), just wondering if you will too.

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

What does one in a focus do for engine management?

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

im gunna be running 9 psi and a 50 shot of nitrous hopefully the bitch wont blow.

the cam gears are focus central

naww my turbo is high enough for the oil to drain

i have to drive an hour and a half, to get it flashed by steeda.

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

those are some sexy welds. i wonder if i can do that with my mig welder

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

probably, ive only been welding 2 months,

megasquirt?

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

Wholy ---- that's amazing!!

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

I Believe that was the project focus that was used in the "Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords" Magazine. If so- good god that's taking it back a few years. I don't think they ever properly finished that car.

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

i hope you plan on rerouting that lower radiator hose, the downpipe looks awefully close. :3 nice build though.

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

i was thinking about rerouting it, but im just gunna get some header wrap.

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

i have a rad hose literally laying on my turbo header. now its not a stock hose and is definitly beefy, but it hasnt melted or even warped at all

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

so a rubber hose can withstand 1500+ degrees huh???

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

i hope it wont melt, there is water constantly flowing through it, well see.

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

wow! i luv the widebody ::)

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

its gangsta...its nice to see someone turboing a different car

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

paint your ----. or at least flat black it.

Re: My build, Almost finished.
 

You should of just used that header you had on there and hacked off the flange where the cat attaches to and weld you flange onto that for the turbo. Why the need to have it so low? THats a small turbo also for a 2 liter engine. Those turbos are small cause it's the same thing in my 850 and it's just retardedly small for that 2.3L 5 cylinder. Ehh either way it'll be boosted and that's what counts.
