OK fella's I'm not gone yet... Glad there is still interest I tabled the project for a minute because I hated working in cold weather and yes I do have a life..... Apparently a 350Z attracts a lot of women.... and being an ugly feller I'm just not used to that so I got distracted.... LOL The guff is now full, the weather is warming up and this summer....this summer I hope to have her completed....Please remember this is proof of concept .... after I finish it I'll probably turn my attention back to the z and the Focus will be my Hi- pro Grocery Getter....(no serious track time). I was proud to find out that even with no hybrid option the Focus is one of the 12 greenest vehicles in the US...... that's a major accomplishment for Ford (I think they have 3) OK thats it for now but hopefully I will have some updates soon. I do encourage you all to keep pushing the envelope, keep tuning and tweaking and styling and lets make the Focus the most popular American SCC!!!!! [strongman]

Hey I'm still here waiting for the completion of the project. Sure you woul'nt want to see what it could run in the 1/4 mi just once. I would also like to see it in person one day since I live closer to you than anyone. Has for the 350Z being a chick magnet I say go for all you can catch[woot] [headbang] [cheers] I completly understand on that one.

well this is abit ontopic (sorry guys [thumb] )

but in this little setup for your turbo manifold, are you just fliping the stock header upside down?

and if so will any T3 turbo fit onto the header? or are you using the SAAB header

and if any T3 turbo will fit, as long as i get the wastegate figured out, i could use anysize of turbo that will fit in the space ( 6psi small to 30 psi big ) correct?

and also NICE WORK!!!!! ive been following this thread sense i was a mamber (more or less) and have been waiting to see it finished

im getting realllllyyy tempted to start going through the local junkyards etc... looking for some parts :)

keep it up, and get some dyno results posted!

LOL silly....You know what'd lead the market .....a Forced Induction Hybrid Focus that has like 250 hp and gets like 45-50 mpg in the city. That'd be a first.....
