Yes we can tune the car by a reflash...but CARB has some rules about that and we have to meet them with the stage 1. So we shall see about that...

**BOWERSdaAZIAN** · 10-08-2009, 02:58 AM

Well kudo's to you if you can attain the ever elusive CARB cert.

Cant wait for pictures / info on the focus kits.

**f2focus** · 10-08-2009, 06:06 AM

Let me tell you it has been a climb to go through CARB...we are close on the intakes I hope. The hardest part is getting throught the first time after talking to them, so lets see how it goes...too much time and money spent on it as well. But in the end so worth it....

**DueceCoupe** · 10-08-2009, 08:08 AM

Very exciting news......
Keep us updated,would Love to see/hear video of the process!

**BlackZX3EvansAD** · 10-08-2009, 09:41 AM

Best news I have heard in a long time. Where can I for more info on this? I'd like to do a little reading up.

**SVT Naco** · 10-08-2009, 03:17 PM

this is great news! to remain emissions legal, would you have to keep the stock header on? if that's the case, i'm all for it anyways. i wanted to go to turbo, but I wanted to boost around 5-6 psi to help with engine longevity. if i can boost from 4-5 psi with a supercharger, i'd rather have that for sure. thanks for the news!

**BOWERSdaAZIAN** · 10-08-2009, 03:21 PM

^ I thought Texas doesnt give a **** about emissions.

**Focus_Pokus** · 10-08-2009, 03:24 PM

Keeps the AC and CARB approved?!

Thank you thank you thank you.

That's only in cars with steer horns mounted to the grill and a bobble head Jesus on the dash.

I've been waiting for a supercharger for a very long time and I'm ecstatic about this one. I just hope it's out before my student loan deferment ends or I won't likely be able to afford one...

**BlackZX3EvansAD** · 10-08-2009, 04:19 PM

Give me 5psi, CARB approved and a 3.5K price tag and i'll be sold (then i have to convince the wife). I'll even donate my car for testing.

**GFXjamie** · 10-08-2009, 04:42 PM

cant wait for this to come out... i am saving up RIGHT NOW! bout time a s/c came out for the duratec, its only been out for what, 6-7 years now!

**Focusfre4k** · 10-08-2009, 05:21 PM

Oh damn this will be awesome! CARB is even better! I hope to god it goes through haha!

they really don't a crap about the visual inspection. if the computer passes via OBDII, then you are all good!

**cobrawannabe cdw27** · 10-08-2009, 11:26 PM

Will the slightly higher deck height if the 2.3 affect bracketry and such? Hood clearance?

It's great to see an idealike this come to fruition after so many years!

**stilix** · 10-09-2009, 04:01 AM

oh man this is awesome

**warneej** · 10-09-2009, 09:20 AM

Sounds great. I'd love to see some mock-up or install pictures to get an idea of how you're working it.

Pics would be nice.....but I want to hear it running......

**f2focus** · 10-09-2009, 01:33 PM

Well like the first post stated...we are planning on install next week. And the kit will be fully running after we take it to Kraftwerks for tuning....so in a few weeks we should have a working running car.

**lapp4sm** · 10-09-2009, 01:49 PM

Is F2 going to be an official install center for Kraftwerks?

It looks like Kraftwerks is doing the tuning. Do they do dyno tuning, or will you offer dyno tuning?

Is Oscar Jackson directly involved with F2? If so, I think that this is a big plus. He has many years of experience in supercharging.

2.0l and 2.3l?

It's about time for some wheel-to-wheel race track testing isn't it?

**blkZX32005** · 10-09-2009, 02:24 PM

I can't wait I am going to be all over this.....I pay my car off in 7 months and with on 5oK on it, the motor is ready for BOOST

F2 will be carrying the full line of Kraftwerks products in the near future...

They do tuning but not like others, I will explain later and show you Mark personally how it works

Oscar is helping us along the way since he is very familiar with the Supercharger we are using.

The supercharge will be for both 2.0L and 2.3L

You are reading my mind about so me wheel to wheel race car testing...

**mr2_king_7** · 10-09-2009, 09:07 PM
