every time i take one thing apart on my car it leads to the thing half apart because i don't like the way i did something last time i was in a hurry. but i can say it is getting much better. which excites me

That's not possible

I want to pull the LIM to have it and the UIM honed out bigger. I also want to pick up a 65mm TB one of these days and mount that. I also have a nice shiny IMRC box and EGR block off to install.

now you guys got me thinking again. mr clockwork, you said you had a clutch made to work with your setup?, i wounder if they could do one that would work ith the getreg out the svt focus? i know the 3.0 has plenty of grunt but you can always use more mechanical advantage!!! and i wounder in stock trim how much more faster am i looking at, i can out run a dohc taurus as is now, would it be worth it to swap in the 3.0 or just boost the svt engine? i follow the old sckool with no replacement fer displacment, but if i were to do this id have to stick with the six speed, i used to hate this trans, but now i love it.

well as you know, duratec V6's have been put into a focus.

i know nothing of the 2.3 I4 duratec but i can tell you this. the only trans you'll be able to bolt to a duratec V6 is a MTX-75.

Clutchnet will make you whatever clutch you want. just call up their help line and they'll figure it all out. they are a real good service, and very knowledgeable. your clutch will be made the day after you order, and you'll have it usually within 5 days.

but this is just the way to go. put a 3.0 in the foci

AAAHAAHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....cough.......AAAHAAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... where the hell am i , how the .........it would be my car and i would hate working on it, look at that, my hands are large......where would i put them? oh i can change the air filter, but if i wanted to do any thing else id have to drop the motor.....wow i forgot how much room that engine takes up.

ClOckwOrkSVT · Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:49 am

well you just put it together right the first time.

then all you gotta do is change the oil and air filter, thats pretty easy

or you can do this. 700HP focus anyone?

focinite · Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:54 am

the down fall of the terminator focus is they cant idel, they over heat.i have wanted the v8 swap hard!!!! but kohueglelelelelelekkjlsdfjhglkjnv, how ever you spell his name stopped making the kit. but my sights have been set on the new hyundi commin out. id love to get rid of the svt four cyl for one reasone........no one makes any good parts, no cams,no heads,intake manies, no parts.

ClOckwOrkSVT · Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:57 am

yeah your better off with the stock 2.0. then you can get everything from ford motorsport. ah well. its fun yankin up pictures of wicked focus's

focinite · Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:01 pm

yeah...but i dont want to unswap the engine out of my zx3 sooooo i think ill just boost it some time i hope, or ill save my money for the new focuses or a new gennise coupe.

ClOckwOrkSVT · Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:05 pm

i got a ride ina boosted ZX3 and i was totally unimpressed. of course that was after having my 200HP+ 3L swapped in my car. so i dunno.

Redlineracer12 · Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:54 pm

Is the focus engine bay that much smaller than the Contour bay anyways? A lot of people are scared by the tight fit in the engine bay, but it's not as bad as it looks

Tyler, my car struggles to keep up (highway) with a certain boosted zx3 on this board. So they can go plenty quick... Helps when they have a 500lb advantage though

You need a ride in Pitchblacks car then, or Patalrobs once it's running again, or Pappys or O2's for that matter.
