On the way back from Subway today, I got my ass handed to me by a turbo'd 95 Jetta.
That does it. I must go FI.
Thoughts, comments, advice?

Thoughts, comments, advice? _RED_ 09-09-2005, 02:55 PM Powerworks nuff said, end of story! munkyv22 09-09-2005, 04:42 PM Thanks Red. Anyone else? Lessons learned, best practices? 03OrangeSVT 09-09-2005, 06:40 PM A supercharger can't match the performance of a turbo. I know some little SC guy is going to start crying "lag" (boo hoo) with todays newer designed turbos lag doesn't exist. Turbo's make more power and definitly more torque, I'll put a turbo up against the powerworks kit ANY day. Plus turbo's are far more upgradeable..... munkyv22 09-09-2005, 06:42 PM Originally posted by 03OrangeSVT with todays newer designed turbos lag doesn't exist. I wouldn't go THAT far, but it ain't bad. Besides, once the boost kicks, any NA or SC car is done for. *Edit, I just realised that this was in my FI post, not the leafblower one. I would NEVER go SC. Turbo all the way, baby. Maybe NOS. 03OrangeSVT 09-09-2005, 06:47 PM At 2k rpm I can hit the gas and the boost gauge goes instantly from vac to boost..... Here's what a descent turbo can do with the right tuning....... also almost completly stock motor AND 93 octane gas...... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/OrangeSVT03/SVT329whp.jpg And I'm not quite done with it either........ munkyv22 09-09-2005, 06:53 PM So, racing an NA SVT from a roll at say 20, you guys are about even until 3200 from what I see here, and then it's bye bye. About right? welding rod 09-09-2005, 07:27 PM How about this for lag: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid180/p75d04a7314b051fb546010702c7decf9/f2ed589e.jpg The dip around 3100 was because I didn't expect the load to go so high so soon.... I had -6 degrees entered just to serve as a place holder in that timing table cell at the time.... I have since advanced the timing considerably. Anyhow something like 150 WHP @ 3,300 / 175 WHP @ 3,600 / 200 WHP @ 4,000 / 255 WHP @ 5,800 isn't too bad on a twisty road. slyfocus 09-09-2005, 08:19 PM Originally posted by 03OrangeSVT I'll put a turbo up against the powerworks kit ANY day. give me a month or 2! ;) p0sitivevibez 09-09-2005, 08:32 PM Turbos are so much fun...the lag is kinda fun when the boost kicks in 1turbofocus 09-09-2005, 10:42 PM Originally posted by slyfocus give me a month or 2! ;) I secont that Sly , you will need more than time to take that turbo Focus I hope next jetfest they do this at a drag strip where everyone can go to flex there TQ or lack of L O L ! Tom munkyv22 09-09-2005, 11:21 PM So, Tom. I want 250 WHP. What's involved and what will it cost me? FocusMang 09-10-2005, 12:42 AM We need more NA foci out here! I like being the only one that can hand it to srts liquid01 09-10-2005, 04:06 AM Post jackker here whats up frushhey liquid01 09-10-2005, 04:07 AM Oh crap did I repost.......Bump^^^^^^^^^ munkyv22 09-10-2005, 09:40 AM Come on, Garrick. I'm sure that Albuquerque is big enough for two turbo'd Foci. Besides, it would be fun for you and I to race and some poor sucker in an SRT/Civic/RSX-S/Boxter to get caught in the middle and have his ass handed to him by two Foci at the same time. That would be hilarious. Rolling 30 on Paseo, Focus | Porche | Focus. Third honk and everyone drops the hammer, all Mr. Porsche can hear is the whistle on either side of him as two Ford Focuses pull away and he... just... can't... catch them. Ahhh... I am smiling now. SuperFocusMan 09-10-2005, 09:45 AM Dont count me out!!! i am getting a turbo at the start of the year thinking of toms complete kit. but 6k is kinda much. but 300 plus hp in a small car is going to be way too much fun!!! munkyv22 09-10-2005, 10:10 AM Or three... :) 03OrangeSVT 09-10-2005, 07:09 PM I'm already planning on how to break 400whp on a daily driver...... without NO2[:D] FocusMang 09-11-2005, 12:17 AM Originally posted by thefrush Uhhh, you're not the only Focus that can hand it to SRT's, and according to your sig, you don't look that NA. SHHHHH I just have exhaust and cold air, some fancy spark plug wires too [paranoid] FocusMang 09-11-2005, 12:22 AM Originally posted by munkyv22 Come on, Garrick.

Albuquerque is not big enough! If your serious about fi, theres a very good chance I can sell you my old setup, but youll still need a tune munkyv22 09-11-2005, 12:29 AM You're pushing what 300? I'll have Tom hook me up with 310. Hahahahahahaha! I need to see your ride, man. Is is still at the shop or do you have it back? FocusMang 09-11-2005, 10:38 AM we will never know :) Im changing my setup over at R&D, im getting a new turbo, bigger intercooler, bigger injectors done this month and i still have yet to get the snow alcohol injection system microtonal 09-11-2005, 05:35 PM Also, don't forget that with more power comes more stress on the tranny. The stock Focus manual tranny is rated to handle about 165 lbs of TQ from the crank. If you're shooting to get around 200TQ/HP at the wheels, make sure to set aside or plan on doing some tranny upgrades in the near future. | |
