how much can a stock svt focus handle?

[FuelSlut]

Are the internals on an svt focus forged? I'm looking at a brand new vortch intercooled system, lookin 2 make the daily a little more fun. Thought about putting 4-5 psi through it, but I don't wanna blow the damn thing up. Lookin for around 200hp @ the wheels.

there saying 17-20 psi on stock internals wth a turbo.that will get you around 300hp

ive tuned a number of focus's with various power adders... anything from 300whp blown setups to just under 400whp turbocharged setups. Email me to discuss some options. They are fun little cars!

The Focus motor can easily handle that setup. And yes the internals of the SVT are forged, but just the rods not the actual pistons are forged. I would look at getting a new clutch though, possibly an LSD while your in their as well.

If you are not looking to go big - check out the little Eaton supercharger options....proven safe performance & easy bolt on:burnout:

Either way - a boosted SVT Focus would be fun for sure:alcoholic

I thought about that, but I have not seen them in a long time 4 sale, are they intercooled? I don't think they r.

If you cant control your right foot, simply load a 'commuter' tune for M-F, then load the balls out version for the weekend.

The Jackson Racing one was not, but the powerworks kit was and was also good for about 250whp with a good tune.

However, both kits have been discontinued and aren't available anywhere

Have you considered a turbo, more tunability in the long run, and not that much more expensive either.

If I had the funds I'd probably go with a custum Rotrex supercharger setup though :FIREdevil

Ya I'm not gonna dump crazy $$$ into the daily , the vortech one I'm looking at is $1400 new.

 

[Rotard]

That works! Where did you find a price like that?

 

[svtfoci]

just make sure that you get it tuned.

I'd boost mine now that the warrenty is up but I need at least 75000 more out of this thing
