NEVER had a real build thread on this forum....I want to take you on a summerized history before we get down with the build....
2004-05 The Early Years:
After my tour in Iraq, I was quick to jump on this SVT. It wasn't long before I added a cold air intake. The sound of the air being sucked in was real nice. I few months later I joined FocusFanatics and Fj online communities, to learn more about my car.
One of the popular mods for the SVT was replacing the R13 relay with a jumper wire so that you did not have to turn on the head-lights when you want to use the fog-lights. Replacing the fog-light bulbs with Hoen H10s made out nice. An order all the way from France was Morette's tail lights. I didn't like the OEM lights as it messed up the roof-line flow for me...
i really think with that engine and turbo combination you have the potential to be the most powerful/fastest zetec focus ever if you are willing to push it that far. i know i would lol
I appreciate the comment guys. I hope it's finished by May. Although I may go down the 1320, I dont know if I'll feel comfortable at full wot yet...lol
Tim, someone on FJ mentioned I should get some L19 studs for the head. You have any knowledge on the use? 40psi runs would be nice. [strongman]
My compression is 9.2:1. I haven't had the car on load and stalled yet.
There's nothing wrong with Fernando's tuning lol. Jeremy helped replace my CHRA after the old became heat-soaked from bad coolant lines. He went ahead and hooked up my eBoost2 at the same time. Before it was on a manual eBoost-T set at 30psi. With the eBoost2 connected I'd like to get another tune to ensure proper operation.
Tom has tuned my car with my old ProCharger and his Stage II turbo kit. Both of which I had no issues other than my own mistakes.
I don't think Fernando saw much gains because I am using an ATX. I should have easily made 650 on race fuel. AND we didn't even adjust cam gears yet.
Tell you what, if I can find a nurse to do my bowel care up there, then I can go.
