Whats Kind Of Gains Should i expect from my car when it gets out the shop

Stright Back exhaust
Headers
Short Ram intake
F2Focus Duratec Lightweight Flywheel
CENTERFORCE Clutch Kit


And Would A tune be a good idea at this point ..
What kind of Hp will a tune give

 

[y2kpedo]

150-160 with a tune

 

[elliottcarlose]

is that whp

 

[stpower]

Yes, the car pretty much has 150 flywheel now. That will be awesome, I think you might cream your panties. (if that is the way you swing)

i've always used as a general rule of thumb:
Evo > Foci

Even if you do turbo and do all kinds of stuff to give you more power than the evo, he will destroy you on the curves, then you're going to have to put about the same ammount of effort into making your car handle better than the evo, and he's AWD.

Maybe i'm just an evo fan, but i dont know if making a focus bettter than an evo is a likely case

I would love to have a Evo but a 13,000 focus or a 30,00 EVO
Put 6k give or take a bit into a focus you can run past any EVO and save 10k

and it's more surprising to people to see a focus run like that
everyone would expect the evo to win

 

[svtguy21]

i live by that rule of thumb for cars as well

i agree with your concept, that many expensive cars are inferior to a moddified cheaper car. But i think the EVO is an exception. It is made to have great power for a 2.0L engine, and at the same time handle like no other. I think your idea would apply for a focus vs. a mazda3, i bought my focus for aprrox 6k less than my buddy bought his mazda 3 for. And if put 6k into my focus, it would make the mazda look like a geo.

But there is so much more you would have to do to the focus to be able to beat the EVO in speed and handling, that i think you would start to get even in price ranges, if not spend more on the modded focus.

 

[svtguy21]

i think you would be able to beat a evo in the 1/4 and on the twisties with less than 30 k

I put down 160 whp and 157 tq ......... with just CAI, header, exhaust and BS deleted, no tune . With my cams and tune I put down 173whp 149 tq ...

 

[y2kpedo]

haha owned

 

[svtguy21]

owned,!! if they made a quailty cams for my car i would have them both of our hp would be close. plus doesn't your engine react better to mods to begin with, but hey were our one family fighting againist the big bad world of faster cars. so maybe i'm just a lil angry that your cars react better to mod!!! But hell if you can put numbers like that up, then go ahead shit i would be happy as hell if i could get 173 whp!!!

 

[SoCalDuratec]

Yes the duratec does react a-lot better to mods than the zetec, and you have to remember the SVT comes with performance in mind allready, there isn't all that much room for improvemnet over some of the stock parts. The 2.3 duratec comes very restricted and intake alone can give 10+ whp .......... I was shooting for 200 whp N/A, but I have since decided to start building the bottom end and get it ready for boost. My friend's rolln' a 2.3 duratec with cosworth stg. 2, cosworth race exhaust, adjustable cam gears, BS deleted, SPEC stg. 3 clutch, lightweight fly and a ported head and he's makin like 185-190 whp N/A .... that things quick ...... I think he'll break 200 N/A ....

 

[FocusFreak87]

I thought an SVT would make more WHP with all those mods though....guess i was wrong...

 

[SkipStaa]

Yea When you Wished me good luck to 15o-160 hp w/ the mods i'm Installing i was trying to go over in my head what I for see my gains to be and I see about 150-160 as well
Th 2.3 is like 130 or so stock whp Correct ?


Im going w/ Short Ram
Not Cold air
Rains way to much in South Fl and i dont want to have to worry about it at all

 

[TSnedSi]

more than that i believe. i think the d20 is like 136

 

[joshco84]

the d20 is 136 engine horsepower i believe, not whp.

 

[SoCalDuratec]

correct I think it's like 120 whp ...
