Focus- Power Custom Forged pistons
Rings
New rod and main bearinbgs
Machine work

ARP Main studs
All machine work to block

3695.00

how are the gains when coupled with an fr head and aftermarket cams?

Havent done one yet , should be very good , looking for a car to do one on now

Tom

Would the first victim get this for free or at a deep discout?

hehehe, I can visualize me loading my car onto a transport service from New Mexico if this is true!!!

Sounds great Tom, should be a really nice kit. Can't wait to see some numbers/pics.

Slightly less cost with free dyno time and reduced labor for the first Focus for testing

Keep in mind this price is a short block you still need a head , cams, header ETC , I will make who ever does this a deal on a SVT header (100.00) in the deal

Tom

I am thinking about it, I will be in Martinsville, VA the end of this month for a wedding.

Can you PM me what you anticipate the cost to be just to use my stock SVT setup, only changing the lower end of the engine?
How far away are you from Martinsville?
How long do you anticipate for the changeover?

Brian

hey tom pm me with the cost, im in charlotte nc

I want to do one with someone willing to do head , cams , and the works , works meaning normal boltons most people do

Tom

here's my question, how would a svt do cams if there are no cams out for the svt?

Kent over seas has cams just have to order them , there is a few cam Co. over seas im looking into

Tom

catcams has some too, and I think piper has a set

Put a small post over at [FJ] about your new stroker kits...... hope you don't mind[thumb]

Post my name and tell about them if he doesent want the discussion over there with my name on it where people and the Focus community can see it than let them come the FocusFanitics where its all happening

Im tired of that crap where he bans my name from being used , there is more misinformation over there about stuff than i could correct in a day and by not letting the Focus community know what is going on and what is coming up that only hurts FJ and the FJ community not me

So if your going to post about the new kits than please do it with my full name if he deletes it please have the post locked and the Focus people can come to this board

These kits are in the works , this isnt a comming soon deal

Tom

is this goning to be short block?? or we have to send are own block to you?

Yes the price quoted is for a complete short block

Tom

Ckeck your PM's.... something interesting in it.

What 03OrangeSVT is talking about is he posted about the new stroker kits on FJ and the post was deleted WHY ?????

I guess that means that the people that truely do want new products and more HP will come to FocusFanitics , Before long this will be the "premier" Focus site and its coming fast

Just look at the new well known members names on FJ coming here to ask and get PROPER answers for the questions

Tom

Hey I say everyone go overthere and post a thread asking are there any stroker kits available for the focus? then reply who is making them... think they would delete that? heh.

cool is that a SVT block with oil squirter, or just reqular block?

If you have an SVT block to exchange you get a SVT block back , If you exchange the ZX3 you get the ZX3 block

Tom

cool thanx tom

Tom, what is your thoughts about cryo treating the internals? (http://www.300below.com/site/motor_testimonials.html)

I think it is a good idea , even have done it for a few customers

Keep in mind this is to make things slightly stronger not to keep things from breaking

Oh, hey Tom . Is this sstroker stuff primarily for N.A. apps.?

Oh, hey Tom . Is this sstroker stuff pimarily for N.A. apps.?

im wondering the same thing how will the stroker kits react with FI i new to all this. oh and I do think it is kinda messed up what there doing at [FJ] all though i dont know the reason behind it. it's no reason to withold this info about the focus.

I'm not into censorship.

I hate the censorship shit too.. but it happens here too. Just the way it is.

[FJ] is just a bunch of goons quoting eachother, cracking stupid "inside jokes", and quoting those. At least that's what it seems to me. You can get some good info., but that's it.

Lets talk stroker kits , I could fill a 2 whole Forum from the emails , PM , IM i have got not letting the stroker kit news on FJ

Tom

Any idea what kind of gains you're expecting for a NA motor?

Also...the price you're throwing out is for the block only...would it work with the stock head/cams (etc.) or is a worked head with aftermarket cams a prerequsite for the stroker?

I would like to see 18 to 20HP gain and even more TQ , this wont be known till testing is done on one

This would work with a stock head but a FR head would be a much better choise. A good set of cams wouldnt hurt either but neither are a must

Tom

Personally, wheather Tom and Ron get along or not... a product launch like this should be told to EVERYONE in the Focus Community.

Since there is only one other company making stroker kits that are VERY expensive just for rotating assemblies and have a four MONTH wait for delivery....

Here Tom is doing the same thing.... except you get a short block for the same price with all billet parts.....


I cant wait till I get enough cash saved up....... TurboCharged SVT STROKER.........SWEET[thumb]

I could put the new Focus Sport head on this block and do well, but I have a feeling that by combining the two I will tear a rip in the very fabric of the universe. [paranoid]

To a certain degree this occurs here. If it is a blatant advertisement (come buy this product for this much from me) and the person isn't an affiliate, then yes, it will go away. But if it is a post saying hey, I bought this product form so-and-so, what do you think, and the product isn't from an affiliate, thats cool. Nothing states that to be a member here you must buy products from only our affiliates.

Ive been a longtime member and supporter of FJ, but its got to the point where it just plain disgusts me. Ron has all the mods heads so far up his butt if he scratched his ass hed poke some eyeballs out. Im not in any way saying this because Ive always been a supporter of tom and his business' its just a fact that I myslef and MANY MANY others are coming to see.


Scott

Are you shipping these or will they only be avaliable for installation at your shop?

Will the pieces themselves be available for the kit, for the "do-it-yourselfers"?

Do you thing it will turn more rpms or be more of a TQ moster.

The first ones i would like to do my self maybe about mid year i will put a rotating Assy togather and sell them that way

Tom

Originally posted by CatMostFeared

You dont gain RPM from stroke In fact with larger engines you shouldnt turn them as hard you dont need to they make power and TQ much sooner

TQ should be the biggest gain from all of this , Build and tune for TQ and HP will take care of it self

Tom

What compression ratio will these be? Or is that customizable as well?

I will be making a 9.5 at first with this you can very easy make it a 8.8 to 9.2 for FI or a 10 to 10.2 for NA with playing with the head gasket

Easy and cheap way to lower the compression is the thicker SVT head gasket

Easy and cheap way to rais the complession cut the block deck and or the head

Tom

Tom

so from what i gather, just a change of the head gasket will set it up for FI no problem? thats kinda interesting if thats the case, so all i'd need to do is change the head gasket to have either a FI compression or a NA compression.

Correct, Now what you dont want to do is cut the head and the block to raise compression to say 10.5 then want to lower it later. Altho this can be done it will take a much thicker HG and more costly

Tom

Agreed best to either do one or the other, in case you wish to change induction type.

this is way in the future for me but would you sell the stroker seperate from the internals...or does it only come as a package?

Right now as a package , I will have it in parts later

Tom

when will these be available for pickup

hatchbackers Welcome to Focusfanitics

I hope to be building the firts on late Jan early Feb

I am only making 3 kits at first (3 of 2.3 Zetec 3 of 2.6 Duratec) and 1 is sold already. I dont want to make 10 kits if there not going to sell

I am taking deposits now

Tom

If people are already making 327 WHP with just your full turbo kit what do you expect them to make with the stroker kit also? And how in the hell are we going to put it to the ground? Will the fuel system need to be upgraded? how come there are claims of people running 13.8 with the JRSC BBK and then your fastest time i see posted on your site was 12.99 for the SVTF with like 115 more WHP i would think i should run mid 12's if not low 12's I was just curious? also i have never seen a video of a SVTF with your kit just idleing reving and maybe some passes. Are there any videos of this nature?

Im sorry i have so many questions thanks for you time. [thumb]

This is my black SVT with my Full turbo kit , Keep in mind that this is still a ALL stock SVT Focus engine with just the focus-power full kit , 3 inch Exh , quaife , CM4 and fidenza Fly



Video


This VID was taken from inside another SVT to give you an idea of how much faster from a turbocharged SVT to a NA with boltons SVT Focus

This SVT is also for sale.

[:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]*Roughly 327 taken to a 2.3 will make 376HP and much more TQ will all the same stuff

And how in the hell are we going to put it to the ground?
[:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]*Just because you will have 327HP does not mean you have to try to use it all on take off

Will the fuel system need to be upgraded?
[:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]*I would if you choose to go past about 330 to 350

how come there are claims of people running 13.8 with the JRSC BBK and then your fastest time i see posted on your site was 12.99 for the SVTF with like 115 more WHP i would think i should run mid 12's if not low 12's I was just curious?
[:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]*There is a BIG BIG BIG differance between 13.8 and 12.9 as well as i am in a SVT with 100% of what the SVT came with factory + about another 40lb and on DOT tires . It will take a lot more than 115HP to make up a sec in the 1/4

also i have never seen a video of a SVTF with your kit just idleing reving and maybe some passes. Are there any videos of this nature?

Yes, the laws of physics are a bitch [thumb] The faster you go, the more HP it takes to go even faster grows expedentially.

The link I put up works.

thanks for your quick response as always tom. yeah i understand that is alot harder to go faster the faster you go. if that makes any sense. LOL i just want to run 12's where i live here in Wichita everyone is all into drag racing and the all talk crap about the focus I really want to show them that the focus means buisness. Im glad we have a tuner like you that keep pushing the envelope. now in about 6 months when the SVTF is paid off i'll be giving you a call.[thumb]

Speed cost how fast do you want to go 12`s are not to bad

Tom

Originally posted by 1turbofocus

anywhere in the 12's will be good for me but i want to do it in Full SVTF trim like i drive the car everyday with the exception of maybe some slick that i'll through on for the track but id like to do it on street tires. And i understand it will cost quite a bit im guessing around 13,000 does that sound about right? I also understand i will need LSD, new clutch, flywheel ETC. Tom do you think orangesvt's car is capable of 12's? i want to wait until the time is right and do it all stroker kit full turbo kit the works.[thumb]

My SVT only has

My turbo kit
Quaife
CM4
Alum Fly
3 inch Exh

Everything else about the SVT is bone stock as it came from Ford nothing has been taken out of the car and some stuff added and she will do 12`s

ON street tires also thats badass.[thumb] so that would ony cost me around 7,500-8,000. im guessing with your strocker kit ithe SVTF will be closer to low 12's maybe high 11's? I know it hard to speculate though.

STOP TEASING ME[:D]

[poke]

Im all over this stroker kit...c'mon spring!! Mike, looks like you'll go down one weekend, and I'll be going the next coming back with a beast!!

it will be more like in september or october.

tom can you give me a price on the intercooler upgrade along with tuning and install already have the upgraded turbo from your full kit

thanks

IC kit is 1100.00 , Install is 200.00 tuning 250.00 MAF tube 65.00 for the blow through

Tom

alright sounds great i will get in touch as the time gets closer for me to get it done probually 6 to 8 months from now.

also how long would it take for the install and tuning to be done

1 to 1.5 days

Tom

alright sounds like a plan. ill plan it out with you and send you a deposit in about 6 months

thanks

So, Mike how's the focus??
==============================

Tom

Right now i'm in the 240hp with a stroker kit how much more should i'll spec and how long to build it? or better yet how long i will be without a car 2,4, 6, 8 Month??

I'm just wondering ... right now with 240hp/247TQ on a ZX3 i think is plenty for a daily driver... but there's a Infinity G35 that i would love to beat!!

I would say at least 90 to 110 months or 2 week

Easy math would be 240 devided by 2.0 times 2.3 = 276 a gain of 36HP then with all this you will be able to up the boost and make a good 330+ at the wheels with room left in the turbo

Tom

turbo- zx3 how much boost are you running on your car

i would of thought with toms full kit you be pushing at least 275hp and close to the same in tq to the wheels just wondering

tom what could i expect(hp/tq) roughly with this stroker kit and full bolt ons on my svt? And what will it cost. Finally will cams for the st170 work on the svt as they are almost identical and can you order them?

As for power gain roughly take you now power say 145 devided by 2.0 times 2.3 =166 thats roughly a 21HP gain to the wheels

The Zetec shortblock is 3695.00

Yes from what i understand the st170`s will work but have not tryed any yet

Tom

Mike

I'm running 15psi.. with factory motor nothing done just Tom's full kit + Cams and i still have the stock clutch.. so i'm afraid to push more boost .. maybe later when i get the Clutchmaster Stage 4 with Fidenza aluminum flywheel. Plus my car is a ZX3 not an SVT if i was svt i probably will be in the 270+ HP...

But the car is fun to drive with 240hp,, can't imagine with 330hp at the wheels.. sometimes i'm rolling 45mph and i hit full throtle and loose traction.

I'm just wondering if i want to go 300+hp or not. How's your car doing so far? turning head when that turbine spin and people goes what the hell a turbo focus?

Turbo-ZX3

...and on the third day...[:o]

turbo-zx3

i know 240hp and tq are great numbers. i was thinking to myself he has to have the stock cllutch or something. i loved my turbo kit for about three days and then my clutch went out so hopefully after christmas that will be fixed i can't wait for my clutch not to be spinning.right now i just scare people get on it for 30ft let the blow off valve make some noise and let off
that does not get old

Tom

When I see horsepower approximations listed, they do not seem to take into account a balanced and blueprinted unit and an increase in compression. I would expect the numbers to be increased by these considerations.

Not to pester you to much about the expected gains on an engine that is not in production yet, but your 2.6 Torquemonster at 11.5 compression is what I am planning for. As the stock 2.0 that I have is 10.5:1 compression, I believe, I was wondering how much an increase in power might be expected by upping the compression a point? And if balancing and blueprinting offer any power gains in addition to reliability? I was just trying to figure the most accurate guesstimate on the power this unit will provide me, understanding that torque is the key, but bhp is easier to visualize, at least for me.

Thank you for your help.

Yes Mike!!

I still have the stock clutch, i'm saving money for the clutch master,, i'm very lucky that my stock clutch haven't had signs of slipping yet.. but i know it won't be long before it happens,, and i do the same with the blow off valve.. special when teenager are walking on the side walk you can see them turning there head so fast that i pretty sure get the whiplash!!! It doesn't get old..


So Tom maybe down the road.. i might the the stroker kit,, I'm still thinking about if i really want to go that route.. I'll let you know.. thanks for all the help and info it really does help.. I have learn alot in this forum more that FJ....

Tom keep up the good work!!! Hopefully next time i might be able to go VIR.. this past nov i had a family thing going on the same weekend of VIR...

Thanks,
Turbo-ZX3

From what I ready your making making the first ones for the 2.3's and svt's? No just 2.0 zetec's? I'm very interested in one. Hopefully it you get it released soon :)

Tom,
This may have been asked, can the stroker kit be used for a everyday car, and is the $3700 you have listed installed and tuned?

Yes this 2.3 Zetec stroker is not just for all out racing. With this kit you should be able to do everyday driving as you do now

The 3700.00 is for the Shortblock only.

Tom

Hi Tom,

I pm'd you as well as emailed you about a stroker kit for an SVTF.

After two days of negotiating with the mrs, I've gotten approval for a built engine. Looks like I'll be puttin a deposit on a stroker kit soon..... [:)~]


Assuming Tom hasn't sold them already [paranoid]

hey tom just e-mail you about cgi 2.3 for my svt got 6 grand burnning a hole in my pocket & the pro charger kit is gathering dust.

Lets do it !

Tom

What size bolts are used in the rods are they arp? 5/16?

bump. How many strokers are out on the road now? Any feedback?

I have most of the bolt ons now, getting headwork done locally this month. Looking at building the lower end, might as well stroke it.

I don't think there are any yet.

I know I just sent in my deposit for Tom, to start on my 2.3 CGI w/ the S2 Procharger.

Tom will be working on at least 3 engines at a time, and since we will be the first there has to be more time for the adjustments incase something did not turn out the way it was suppose too.

As of now, he is waiting on the cranks/rods. They were suppose to be shipped on the 3/4. And should arrive on the 8th or 10th. I know I can't wait!!!

LUCKY! I want a 2.3 so bad...if I did that, I wouldnt sell my car, id put it in a bubble.

To this date I haven't heard anything new. I sent my deposit the first week of feb 06 & tom says I'm second in line to recieve the stroker for my SVT. The last thing I heard from him was the block was ready except for the crank. As far as the shipping dates, seems you know more than me.[dunno] I'm using the c2b procharger, never heard of th s2.

Maybe that is what Tom was talking about. Tom mentions he forgot the name. At first he said S2, but when I talked to him at the GTG, and thinks c2b.

Either way, I think we will have the same engine setup, except Im using the stock exhaust manifold.

Cranks and rods have been shipped , should be in customs hands end of this or first of next week , then to me

Rudel call me when you get a chance tommorrow

Call Made........and great news about the Cranks/Rods. I'm getting ansy about this project....Making the the days go sloooooooooowly...hehe. [:D]

Any good news on the cranks and rods Tom? Just checking in.

There going through customs now

Tom

Just checking in again Tom....how are things?

Ok so I just got a head from you, had it shaved for .5:1 more CR and am wondering if got a Powerworks blower, and your stroker with the lowest CR (9.0) that would put me at 9.5:1....even with your kickass block and internals would that be too much for say, 15 PSI?
Also where would i get a return fuel system?

If we build you an engine we can controle the compression to what ever you want , Keep in mind that with more inches the boost on the 2.0 at 15 will be lower on a 2.3 to about 11 maybe 10 so you will need to turn the SC harder to maintain the 15psi

You will have to build a return fuel system

Tom

Hey Tom,

What would the price be on the stroker crank, rods, and pistons?
I don't need the whole short block assembly.

Thanks,
Brian

I am only selling it now with the rotating Assy. already built in the CGI block so it would come as a complete short block

Tom

When might you have this as just the rotating assembly?

What is the price of the whole setup in the CGI block?

I dont think i will ever do it with just a rotating Assy. some people try to short cut to much with parts and these parts are just to nice and costly to have Assy. stuff go wrong

I will get you a price

Tom

Hello Tom, I need your expertise, I hydrolocked my motor and I wanted to know if simply replacing the rods, pistons, and bolts would suffice in order to get my engine running again. Also could I use SVT rods and pistons on my 2004 Zetec 2.0 ZX3 without having to overbore and if so would I need to change anything else? Also would I be able to use a 2003 Focus motor that came off of an automatic tranny? I really would like to explore all my options; SVT parts, aftermarket parts, used motors. I just really need to know which I parts and motors correlate with my engine. BTW if I end up being screwed since I'm no millionaire and repair might be out of the qestion if it costs too much, would u or anyone you know be intertested in purchasing the car. I'll list alll the mods
17in Rota wheels with Kumho ECSTA's
slotted/dimpled rotors mintek pads all around
Goodridge SS lines all around
H&R cup kit
Eibach oversize front sway bar 22 I think
Steeda race rear sway bar
AEM CAI
FC 65 TB
OBX Race Headers powdercoated
AlphaWerks cat back exhaust
AEM Overdrive pulleys
FC underdrive pulleys Gatorback drivebelt
Steed Polished CNC machined motor and tranny mounts with poly bushings on all mount points
Fidanza flywheel
ACT stage 3 clutch kit
Steeda short throw shifter
Focus Sport strut bar
OEM style carbon fiber hood
and a sound system which consists of a 12" Kicker Sub, Audiobahn D class amp, an Infinity 4 way amp, with aftermarket speakers Audiobahn and MB quart
please help me I love my car and I would prefer to keep it but money is tight let know what my options are I would also be willing to give you my car for testing purposes if something can be worked out my brother lives in NC he just recently completed his contract with Blackwater in Iraq he's an ex-Marine so any reason to go to NC to visit my brother is fine with me

Thank you in advance

just went over 220000KM
gonna do some tune up.....timing belt,water pump, sparks,spark plugs, fuel filter, oil change, change tranny oil,clean K&N flat filter

what about a 2.2 liter stroker? would u be able to get oil squiters in?

Why are you so worried about the squirters being in there ?

Tom

tom............i am assuming the oil squiters are no big deal them. i always heard it was a good thing. i guess if u have good tune, oil system and cooling system.....it really makes no difference to have oil squiters. what is the big deal of having oil squiters in the engine. i know what it is for. do u think they are really that helpful? i pm'd you. can u check your pm.....thanks

I dont think there worth the extra cost of woring about them , The ZX3 block does not have then and there isnt any issues with those blocks/pistons

Tom
