Oh. My. God.

That thing is beastly.

**boostedzx3** · 04-14-2009, 07:49 AM

**cobrawannabe cdw27** · 04-14-2009, 12:28 PM

Give...us...nummmmmberrrrsss!!!!!!!

**CaysE** · 04-14-2009, 01:18 PM

Sweet honeyed ham!

That thing blew through 4th gear like it was 1st.

Also: what crate motor is in there?

**Tobyboom** · 04-14-2009, 04:46 PM

Call me crazy, but that was no where NEAR a full pull.

**CaysE** · 04-14-2009, 08:06 PM

Dunno... I figured it just doesn't rev high since it's a V8.

i dont care what anyone says this focus is one of the most well put together ive seen in a while
engine wise im in love with it
bodywise who cares someone will always say something

zx351 was my fav he has videos on streetfire and someone else owns it now with i belive the 361 punched out to a 408!
now you should post some *videos* whenever you can
and remember you have one of the most badass Foci's if not the fastest V8 Foci on here and related sites in fact ill put money on it in America lol (because not everyone is part of a forum lol)

**1 Slowpoke** · 04-14-2009, 10:32 PM

Tobyboom you are correct. That was not a full pull. I was a little excited so I recorded one of the first pulls, instead of one of the last. The motor that is in the car is a 345hp gt40 crate motor. The car made 548 hp, but it still has to go back to the dyno this weekend. Some minor adjustment had to be made to the fuel system.

**tpkennedy** · 04-14-2009, 10:41 PM

Man I'd like to do that to my focus, but two problems. One, im in college, two, there does not seem to be a lot of talk about doing to a wagon. I think it would make the ultimate sub-compact, enough room to carry friends and baggage and plenty of power. I miss power

**R0B** · 04-15-2009, 01:47 AM

i demand more videos !

**1 Slowpoke** · 04-15-2009, 08:53 AM

The 548hp is no where the limit of anything in this car except the block. The V8 swap has been done on a wagon before.

**focusownerskid** · 04-15-2009, 09:04 AM

Good God man, please, operate the camera w/ intensity and get us some more vids!

That's n-a-asty.

**1 Slowpoke** · 04-16-2009, 07:03 AM

Thisis what I had to follow on the dyno. It made 680 hp before it started throwing belts. I'll try to get some better videos this weekend.

**secondechomatt** · 04-16-2009, 08:19 AM

not a full pull and getting 548.....

If I were you, I'd start trolling other forums, posting exterior pictures of your car only.....if the hate starts, just throw out glibbly, "it made 600+ hp on the dyno...

when the call outs happen, and they will, underhood pictures and dyno vids should come out right then!

**Spatakula** · 04-16-2009, 09:28 AM

Twin turbo V8 Focus..... I cant even comprehend that. Even watching the video, I was like "I cant even believe this!"

**1 Slowpoke** · 04-16-2009, 06:28 PM

Here's a few more pics.

**bigdaddyzx3** · 04-16-2009, 06:56 PM

This is simply wonderful!

**only_in_a_domestic** · 04-17-2009, 02:32 AM

ugh cant wait for more vids!!!!!

**CaysE** · 04-17-2009, 09:19 AM

Ha! V-band clamped intake piping! Love it...

Please do this. Just make sure to post links to the threads here.

**BowDown** · 04-17-2009, 11:30 AM

I see you are from NY. Do you have any plan being able to get this inspected and registered? That new OBDII inspection is a PAIN IN THE ASS. Not to mention they link it to your registration. 90-days out of inspection = no registration renewal.

**1 Slowpoke** · 04-17-2009, 02:02 PM

Yea I'm having a problem with the inspection now. I have to figure out something.

**j20000** · 04-17-2009, 02:43 PM

Just tell them...."WTF do you mean????...this is how it came from Ford!!!"

There's gotta be a way to flash the focus ecu to always report the emissions equipment as being 'ready'.
