Hey guys I finally decided to make a new thread for my build progress and questions
Any help is appreciated, any critiques too :D
this is going to be an epic build because it is first time when I mess with car like that
and I'm a software engineer not a car mechanic so sorry for stupid questions :D :D
and I do speak 3 languages so sorry for my grammar or misspelling although who cares right?
my parts list:
1) a brand new zetec engine block with supertech pistons and eagle rods and stock crank(it has been honed for supertech pistons compression is a question(I bought engine block with all that stuff in it alredy installed and guy told me that this is 9:1:1 but still not so sure - is there a way to check it?) and crank has been balanced for 9 k rpm)
2) Ford Racing head with a Crower valve springs and Ti retainers installed
4) Crower turbo grind cam gears - will need to buy
5) AEM adjustable cam gears
6) Gates timing belt
7) 2000 zetec Intake manifold + Socus Sport 70 mm TB
8) Torsen LSD for MTX-75 - need to install
9) Diablo Mafia
10) Focus Power DUY turbo kit
11) turbo charger - still need to do research and figure out which one to get for SPA turbo manifold (Garrett or Precession)
12) kenny bell BAP - ? not to sure if needed yet
13) CFM billet oil pump gears
14) SAMCO blue engine coolant hose kit
Looking to get 300 - 350 hp at the 5 k rpm for now and then will see if will go with a different setup and diff hp levels and drag race it
an original 20 K miles engine is out of the car and will not touch it for now- will keep it as replacement. Currently building my new engine with all the parts above.
So currently I have to make a design what to do with a power steering line
here is a situation and I wonder if somebody has been trough that
I have a replacement cable that goes from pump to steering rod? or whatever this word is and it is fine for old zetec's because there wasn't any sensors for it
but my 03 focus zx3 zetec has this damn sensor (on picture you can see a port for a sensor - right near the power steering pump) and question is what if I bypass it will it cause me a troubles later ? any ideas?
thank you
