disciplerocks's Ford Focus "build" thread - Page 3

Got just the p0171 code first, then after a while the maf code came on too. Cleaned the maf, swapped the maf, same code.

I bought him New 02 sensors for Christmas so we'll see what happens when I get them installed.

Thanks for the tips tho! I tend to start thinking I'm on the wrong track when I don't see results quick enough.

Hmm bizarre. Can't imagine something else causing that code.

yeah im on the jet, not too much anymore though and im not on fanatics, my sn is redz3xy on the jet. planning on putting a blower on my duratec not too many people have blown the dura motors. last mod i did was the cosworth manifold and i still need a tune, might do the blower then get it on the rollers and get a good tune.

A rough guess, o2 sensor is out of whack, and after resetting the ECU so many times it just noticed the maf and o2 sensor were giving different data and said "screw it, I'm complaining about both"

At least that's the best I can come up with at the moment.

Well thats probably becasue they don't make a kit for the Duratec. IMO if you have the Duractec, then I would turbo it. You have the 2.0 or 2.3?

**disciplerocks** · 12-29-2010, 07:42 PM

Oh and I am wanting to build a pretty wicked looking strut tower bar too. I had to discard my last one because it rubbed the throttle body after installing the blower. I am looking for some ideas on that too.

fangotango306 · 12-30-2010, 06:42 PM

i have the 2.0, im pretty good at one off stuff so im planning on running an m90 i got laying around, until the motor goes, then im thinking a 2.3 dura from a ranger with forged internals and a rwd conversion. its not my dd so i just wanna see whats up. if you can swing it Massive has about the best strut bar i have seen. i have their giant rear bar and im wanting the front one but i already have an old focussport on on my car so ill leave it for awhile. i hate my eibachs so i think i may do kw coilovers.

**disciplerocks** · 12-30-2010, 06:51 PM

Wow, really an M90? A bit of overkill isn't it. The SVT uses an M62. And if you are going RWD why go 2.3? Seems like a waist to me. Either throw in a 2.3 Focus motor, or go bigger.

And yes Massive has some badass stuff. And Karl is one hell of a guy too.

Here is a little something I started working on today.

What it will look like when finished.

And here is the instructions for it. It has some better pics in there.

that is one mean looking little street fighter! one of my ex gf's had a 400+ hp srt4 neon... that thing was too much fun to drive, if you could keep the front wheels from spinning... damn 18's and lo-pros...

**disciplerocks** · 01-04-2011, 10:58 AM

^Yeah. I'll be making some traction bars next.

**disciplerocks** · 01-04-2011, 05:07 PM

Got a bit more done today. Cut, notched and bent the rear two bars and did a mock up of the main bar to help align the rear two.
