**pzev04boy** · 10-27-2009, 01:10 AM

Get on car-part.com Junk yard search. That is the best place to find used engines for cheap.

**pzev04boy** · 10-27-2009, 01:11 AM

Oh, and when you finally get the car back, cancel the credit card payment.

**f2focus** · 10-27-2009, 01:32 AM

Jeff I have some engines can we talk about maybe doing a swap on parts...I have some good 2.0L and 2.3L Duratecs....I will call you tomorrow...I was going to call you tomorrow anyways as I have been swamped with work....

**iceguyb14** · 10-27-2009, 08:27 AM

i actually just got one. 36k miles. with a 30 day warranty for $750 delivered to the shop from a local junk yard..

**FocusSportVP** · 10-27-2009, 12:40 PM

Damn, that is a good deal!

**NHFocus** · 10-27-2009, 05:54 PM

You should just sell yourself lol im jk but that sucks man

**turbozeteczx3** · 10-31-2009, 10:33 PM

Lol this may sounds dick but im not meaning it to be i just thought it was funny. So i guess Tom was right you wont be faster than 12.9 lol

Again i just thought it was funny

**iceguyb14** · 11-01-2009, 09:24 AM

haha yeah i guess your right

**turbozeteczx3** · 11-01-2009, 09:40 AM

Even thought im sure you will be after it again later on

But it is kinda funny when you look back on it

**iceguyb14** · 11-01-2009, 03:02 PM

naw im done with the focus. ill pay off some bills, sell the parts, and eventually sell it for a better (less expensive to modify) platform

**pssdfocus** · 11-01-2009, 08:56 PM

good luck! hope things workout for u.

**epwolfram** · 11-03-2009, 11:09 AM

Dude..

Try reading this thread from start to finish... it's heartbreaking

Why not just go back to the old setup with the turbo on a new motor?

**iceguyb14** · 11-03-2009, 04:43 PM

yeah im contemplating installing just the stage 1 kit and selling the stage 2 kit.. be pushing around 200whp.. and yeah.. we'll see

**ClintB1321** · 11-03-2009, 06:48 PM

keep the intercooler jeff

**mtadd162** · 11-03-2009, 08:19 PM

just stop eating for a lil while...keep stage 2!
sacrifices man...boost or food....

im jp but do whatever u can to keep ends meat as they say...

**iceguyb14** · 11-04-2009, 08:34 AM

i think im gonna sell the complete turbo kit. stage 1 and stage 2 kits.

im not gonna lie, the car with ~145whp isnt too slow. its fast enough to get out of its own way

**pssdfocus** · 11-04-2009, 07:04 PM

did u get ur codes figured out?

**iceguyb14** · 11-05-2009, 04:39 PM

nope p0183 is still there.. gonna probalby take it to a dealership.

ive cleared it tons of times and still nothing.

**pzev04boy** · 11-05-2009, 10:15 PM

They probably messed up your engine harness. I believe you need to look at the connector for the fuel rail pressure sensor Not 100% on that but should be part of that sensor.

**Bigfonsz** · 11-16-2009, 05:29 PM

Damn Jeff.. I know how you feel. Peace of mind is worth a lot more then 400+hp

Good luck. With the next car.

**iceguyb14** · 11-19-2009, 09:54 AM

yeah finally picked up the last of the parts a couple days ago - the crank and bearings.

anyone intersted in any of my parts hit me up

**SMITHBOY76908** · 11-19-2009, 07:10 PM

If I had the money to spend I would man! I hope your next vehicle will serve you better results and less BS.

**tjys** · 11-19-2009, 08:36 PM

Wow, I hadn't been on Focaljet too much since I moved to Seoul. I agree with epwolfram, this is just plain heartwrenching to read. Lots of excitement, transitioning to determination to work through problems, to the disappointing end. Good thing is you have your wheels back - good luck.
