disciplerocks's Ford Focus "build" thread

[sixty9oz]

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.

An SVT what has an M62?

The SVT Focus supercharger kit uses an M62

Pretty sweet Focus you've got there. One of these days....I'll get my ZX2 going like I want.

Oh, ok. I thought someone was saying the SVT came with a supercharger. I've heard people think that before when I had my 03 EAP.

Took forever, but I finally got all the buckets in spec. At this point I can't even read my own writing.

Fresh coat of paint

Since the head is assembled, I decided to see how much clearance I have. With a crushed Zetec head gasket, I have about 45-50 degrees of rotation before the valve hits the piston. But I will be using an SVT HG for now.

looks awesome. Got enough shafts just laying around.

 

[disciplerocks]

Yeah I have a couple lol.

Got her all together and she turns over, but no fire. Going to have to investigate that next week.

 

[chrwilkins30]

is there a reason that you put a different valve cover on and took off the coil on plug conversion?

 

[disciplerocks]

Different head. Neither would work.

 

[03ranger30]

Mind me asking how much money you have in this thing?

 

[disciplerocks]

I don't really want to think about it.

But in all honesty, probably less than you are thinking. I'm a cheap bastard.

 

[03ranger30]

Only reason I ask is that it seems like that would be a fun little car for not a lot of money, might look into one for a daily.

^ Got an 07 zx3 for DD in december, LOVE IT. Still stock cause I'm broke but beats the pants off my ranger for mpg, power and comfort.

Disciple, Glad to see your getting it back together. Hope you get her back up and running soon! I'll say again your focus is SO sweet!
