**bryst06** · 07-14-2009, 11:59 PM

Well after long wait since Iv had the motor back from FS its finally going in.

I'll be working on the motor over the next month or so as my schedule permits me to.

Currently the FOCUS has 101,266 miles on it. Brings the total up to 83,266 +- miles on the Focus Sport Turbo Kit.

Installing List:

-Motor
-All new VF motor mounts
-New Turbo
-Wastegate 12-15psi
-Oil Cooler kit
-60lb injectors
-FS 2.5''SS Race Exhaust System
-H&R Coilover kit
-Cosworth IM

Here are some pics from today getting it out of its box...

Sweet. For my own education, why all the blue tape around the connections? To avoid dirt getting in, ya?

**paulhaskew** · 07-15-2009, 12:29 AM

keeps stuff clean and can protect a tad against breakage...

**bryst06** · 07-15-2009, 12:38 AM

-Edit to top post

Paul and you are right it just keeps it nice and clean and protects it as well.

**thechefinman** · 07-15-2009, 02:02 PM

Where did the long block come from? how much was it as it is shown? HP?

**OmniFocus** · 07-15-2009, 02:31 PM

I also like to use blue tape as a reminder that "work needs to be done here".

HP... I should be at 300whp with current setup

As shown.. Have about 5k into it that includes shipping the crate to CA and back plus labor and all parts.

**iceguyb14** · 07-15-2009, 07:44 PM

**bryst06** · 07-15-2009, 08:05 PM

**bryst06** · 07-15-2009, 08:18 PM

Some pictures of the build. Thanks VIC

**guitarseth** · 07-15-2009, 09:06 PM

Cool build, Bryan! Hurry up and put it in!

**bryst06** · 07-18-2009, 09:12 PM

well I officially started...

**Egz** · 07-18-2009, 10:02 PM

Hey, that looks like my garage! (well, in terms of cars on jack stands and the Harbor Freight hoist.

**bryst06** · 07-21-2009, 11:57 AM

New turbo came in today... going be working on the car more today.

**pssdfocus** · 07-25-2009, 05:34 AM

is that the gt2871??

**Egz** · 07-25-2009, 08:04 AM

I can't believe that turbo runs on only 2 AA batteries!

**biscuitninja** · 07-25-2009, 10:23 AM

Needs More 60-1

... ok, maybe not. Looks sweet! Keep up the good work!

**Focusing** · 07-25-2009, 10:42 AM

Looks more like a gt3071r...

**bryst06** · 07-26-2009, 01:24 AM

GT28R turbo with custom modifications

**Focusfre4k** · 07-26-2009, 02:17 AM

this looks sick!

**Focusing** · 07-26-2009, 11:08 AM

How you gonna run it internally or externally gated???

**focusownerskid** · 07-26-2009, 02:29 PM

He will be running it the way it sits from Garrett, internally. It's EXACTLY the same turbo he currently has, he is installing an engine where he can exaggerate the boost level and make some power w/o losing any of his powerband.

**bryst06** · 07-26-2009, 06:32 PM

Well said Drew. Yup same turbo that came with the kit just brand new. Should be a rocking good time with it.

Haven't done anything last few days. Might work on it tonight/tomorrow. Slowly but its getting there.

**FocusSportVP** · 07-26-2009, 06:54 PM

That exact turbo with a built 2.3 Duratec engine will look close to this:

That is an unfinished dyno. One of these days Chris is gonna get back in touch with me so we can see how much more power is left in it.

**bryst06** · 07-26-2009, 11:15 PM

Thanks Randy, Im so geeked to see numbers like that when Im done.
