disciplerocks's Ford Focus "build" thread
Ok so I have been posting some stuff in another thread, but I decided to make its own thread. I have done a lot in the past couple weeks so I figured I'd get you all caught up on what I have done. This is going to be an ongoing thread as I add stuff.
Other thread: http://therangerstation.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=85708 Lets start with a little history. Its an 04 Focus ZX3. Purchased in June 08. When I first got it. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...s/DSC_3343.jpg After a few months and a couple mods. Rims, cold air intake, strut tower bar, stiffer tranny mount, and blue interior lights. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...s/DSC_3691.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...s/DSC_3752.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...510b51bad5.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../DSC_37751.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...s/SSPX3757.jpg Then a drop and tinted tail (which have been removed) and a catback. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...s/DSC_5686.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../SSPX40681.jpg And then............. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../SSPX41331.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...s/DSC_6463.jpg |
Here is my car at "Focus in the Field" in Coldwater, MI August of last year. 6th car down.

Here is the most recent updates.
Got some new rims from John (railman). http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01361.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...1279242815.jpg And here is what I am currently working on. Going to try to push 15 psi now. In order to do this I got new 42# injectors, an IAT from a Lightning for more accurate intake temps, 5.7" crank pulley, and what was supposed to be a 2.3" supercharger pulley. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01391.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01401.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01381.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01371.jpg Since I am going to be pushing the sc pretty hard, I decided to change the oil in it. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...1279134854.jpg Now as of right now I have the larger crank pulley on and pushing about 12 psi. The sc pulley ended up being the wrong size, so I am working on getting something worked out on that. I went to the u-pull and bought a core alt from them for $7. The pulley on it is the exact size I need. Now I am going to take it to work and have the keyway machined. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01481.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01491.jpg |
Like I said I will keep adding to this as things happen. I am not in any hurry. I have basically installed things as they come available. I still have stage 1 cams, forged internals, and an aluminum flywheel that have yet to be installed.
Comments always welcome. |
Hello
I like that car. I would drive that since it looks stock for the most part. igiveup |
i am jealous. any idea what kind of torque and hp its making with the sc?
|
Once I get the new stuff installed, I'll be pushing about 15 psi. Have to get it re-tuned then I'll hit the dyno. Probably not going to be pushing more than 13 psi until I get my forged rods and pistons installed. I have no idea what I'll be pushing then. Pretty sure I am at 190-210hp right now though.

Still working on getting the pulley machined at work. They have been too busy to work on my stuff lol. I did pick these up today for a killer price. Should sit me 0.75" to 1" lower than my Eibachs.

Few updates. Installed the springs, but they are not settled in yet. Bought another set of rims and tires for $100, then sold the rims for $75.
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01611.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01641.jpg Never got any further with the alternator pulley. But I did find me a crank pulley at the junkyard, so I am gonna go that way instead of a smaller sc pulley. stock and larger one http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../IMAG01671.jpg |
I think I'm going to watch this thread. Looks like a cool little project.
