Otherwise that's pretty mean looking! I feel like those wheels look familiar though on a v8 maliblue focus... This you as well?

More details!!!

Are those wiggins clamps?.... How did you get your hot pipe from the drivers side turbo to the IC?

That is serious!

**DigitalGT** · 01-02-2009, 09:53 AM

^^ Those are V-band clamps.....designed to hold two mating flanges together. Wiggins clamps hold two pieces of tube together using weld on ferrules. Both are trick and work great. V-bands are much simpler but Wiggins are quicker to install/remove.

Wiggins are really really cool....but also really really expensive. $200 for a single 3" clamp with ferrules.

Yes this is my car. It is the same car I posted earlier in rigz. I was really debating about posting it on here since all I got last time was a lot of hate.

The big problem is some people don't have the common courtesy to keep quiet when they don't like something.

It's your car and you can do what you like with it, I don't see the point in telling someone you don't like what they've done.

You've done a lot of fine work on your car and thats what matters, if you're happy with it then more power to you.

So anyways, what kind of power are you making with that thing?

Who cares what others think if you like it?? They will all be behind you anyway!! I like the body kit & the wing..yeah i'm old-school...It screams come and get me....

**HuTcH** · 01-02-2009, 11:38 AM

the pipe work is brilliant in there seeing the old pic of the v-8 and the new ones I can't honestly see how you found enough room. have you test fitted the front bumper? I'd like to see how much room is left...

I wouldn't care if ppl hate on it. This thing rocks! Where are you from? Did you do all the work urself? I would love to hear the whole story of how u did this.

**jerkeesvt** · 01-02-2009, 02:34 PM

Who cares what others think? Twin turbo V8

........ This is the first I've seen this done, and you deserve to be commended!

**focusownerskid** · 01-02-2009, 02:37 PM

Are you keeping it carbureted?

**CaysE** · 01-02-2009, 02:55 PM

I'll be perfectly blunt: I don't like a single thing on the exterior of the car. But I would drive it every day just to wipe the smile off the faces of other people who are thinking the same thing.

Say it with Ray: You have a TWIN TURBO V8 POWERED FOCUS!

X2. The kit is definately not my thing, but I can't argue with the powertrain. Is it done and running? What kind of numbers? Details man, details!

**2Focused4Life** · 01-02-2009, 03:06 PM

Wow! I like! Great work!

Some people don't keep some comments to themselves...but you know what...from my own experience its best to talk to the person that made the comment and try to understand where they are coming from and then find common ground...and u make good friends that way actually

There are a lot of great people on here...just have to get to know them and their personality types a little better

Any Vids of it runnin?

edit: oh my bad, I meant on another forum

and anyone opposed can keep that to themselves....

There was actually a black sedan that had a tubbed rear and a twin turboed 32v 4.6 in it a couple years ago.

I have no idea if it's still alive though.

**Dads03SVT** · 01-02-2009, 03:43 PM

That guy lived in Atlanta didn't he?? I think i saw it at NOPI.

**sleeprfocus** · 01-02-2009, 04:31 PM

Damn I was hoping I'd be the first twin turbo V8 Focus in about a year or two, looks like I got beat to it

Nice build, hoping to see it complete with the dyno sheet soon. I also would like to know if there's any cooling issues with this set up.
