Minnesota Focus Owners Club

Well, sorta, I got some issues with my window switch and an egr leak, but, otherwise it runs, almost sounds like its running on only 3 cylinders...

Hopefully, my car will get off the jack stands soon, it seen rods car on jack stands and it copied:(

Jack stands are like a car bunk bed.

Well...what I did this time was put the svt intake manifold on it, if you look in the vid you can see the red box on the firewall, I had to cut and replace the TPS pig tail replace the throttle cable, get the parts needed, replace alt bracket. The back of the bay looks a lot cleaner with the manifold in there, it sits lower in the back of the bay.

When its all said n done, and, it does what its spose to do, I should be making power all the way to the rev limiter, the stock intake manifolds pretty much signs off at 5300rpm, and your power red lines.

Being that the runners are larger, low end tq should be improved also.

I did notice that the svt ports are larger then a regular zetec, so, this is going to be a big fat question on what this does for performance, being this is going to be a bottle neck.

I'd like to get my hands on an SVT head to see if reg cams can be run w/o the vct, I think it can, but, I need a head and pics to find out first, being that the aftermarket is expensive for the focus, you just don't find someone with the parts laying around, if it was a 302, or some other populat motor, pics and info would be easy to come by.

nice work

It works, and, the ass dyno is pleased.

Here it is wide open on some back road....can't see the speedo though...

I took a friend for a ride in it, he was def impressed, you can really hear that air sucking in

get some gas so that light goes out, that looked about nintymph?, that motor sounds...T.I.T.E tight man!!!!! i hope that this car deal goes through! i may have been convinced to turbo the swapped motor got a line on a crashed eclipse of the turboed persuation i might be able to use the crap off that or i may wanna go new but one thing is certine ...i need this smashed foci, or mine is going up in a blaze!!!!!!!

Ask IMINHELL about the stock exhaust manifold, he was telling me there is a turbo that bolts to it....

That sounds great, putting the SVT header/cat/flex on my car gave it such a lower note it almost made it more quiet.

Sounds like the svt manifold and tb with the work that would go into it may be worth the work to change it over.

Any idea how much $$ that set you back?

I'd have to go thru my reciepts as I also bought a ton of maintince parts at the time.

Here is a pic of the mess under the hood, I am hoping saturday I will get it all loomed and tucked away better, in the next few weeks I am relocating my battery to the trunk. Right now the IMRC box is under the battery tray held by 8 zip ties for the time being.

so how dose the mani know when to switch?how dose it work?

You see the black box with the red display on it? It cuts the power to the IMRC at 5300rpm and goes to short runner, when the car is in the run position, the runners engage...

If I come on sunday to that meet thing, you could prob look at it, as long as you don't touch...
