**f2focus** · 10-10-2009, 03:39 PM

That Fiesta will be easy....Oscar can't wait to see that car...

**kipp** · 10-10-2009, 06:01 PM

this completely changes my plans for what I wanna do with my 09. To bad you guys aren't in the midwest or I'd love to come check it out.

On a sidenote, that's not a brand I've heard of before. I'm assuming it's not a roots style? and how does their stuff do as far as reliability and longevity of the product and motor?

**ehancock** · 10-10-2009, 07:19 PM

It's a centrifugal type blower. They are a "well known" reliable brand

Reliability and longevity of the motor can be effected by a lot of different things, not just the brand of blower used.

**Focusfre4k** · 10-11-2009, 01:35 AM

I hope this thing is LOUD! I wanna nice whine in my car

**cjmartinyzx3** · 10-11-2009, 01:39 AM

centrifugal, its not really gonna whine like you hear from a powerworks

**f2focus** · 10-11-2009, 02:11 AM

This supercharger is like no other....so the noise is not really there but it does make a lot of power....

**blkZX32005** · 10-11-2009, 08:29 AM

<<<<Drooling to get one on my 05

**streetfocus** · 10-11-2009, 03:05 PM

Keeping CARB legal and boosting would be awesome! Very interested-I just got an 05 Duratec 2.0 this week!

**Zetecpwr** · 10-13-2009, 09:09 AM

I'm interested in this as well for my 07 ST. Will this be a plug and play kit like the old JRSC's for the zetec?

**desratt** · 10-13-2009, 07:19 PM

how about the fusion?? 2.5l

**blkZX32005** · 10-13-2009, 09:36 PM

I can't get this off my mind.........

**x FoCuSfReAk x** · 10-13-2009, 11:20 PM

That totally changes my thoughts on boost. I was going to bag boosting the car but this may have persuaded me to look ito it. I'm really anxious to find out the power levels it will produce. I was looking into getting the f2 turbo kit but I may wait for this.

Very good question. Also, would this be something that me and a few friends could install in a day? Will there be welding involved?

**Troyftw** · 10-14-2009, 10:28 AM

This is very exciting, If I can get the cash together I will definitely be looking into this for my 08

Based upon most kits that i have seen, it will likely be a bolt up kit, a weekend type job + tuning.

So this Supercharger should be safe for stock ATX trannies right?
I'm running an ATX on a 2009 Sedan.

**f2focus** · 10-15-2009, 03:32 PM

Yes it will be safe for ATX trannies in Stage 1 only...any more power and it won't be safe..

**tetra** · 10-15-2009, 03:41 PM

Thanks for confirming that, have something to be excited about here

**desratt** · 10-15-2009, 06:17 PM

fusion???

**blkZX32005** · 10-15-2009, 08:26 PM

I have w*t dreams about this....LOL

**f2focus** · 10-16-2009, 01:29 AM

We hope to post pictures of the mock up next week on the Focus and the Fusion if all works out...just recieved a revised idler pulley bracket for the Mazda 3.

This is a priority for us and we intend to keep it that way...

**BlackZX3EvansAD** · 10-16-2009, 10:05 AM

I understand that F2 is working with KraftWerks on this but I have a few questions. 1) Is Kraftwerks going to be the producer of this kit and F2 will be the distributor? Or, is F2 going to be both?
2) How are you going to deal with tuning/support?

**f2focus** · 10-16-2009, 11:02 AM

F2 is producing the hardware to mount the charger, example...bracket, plumbing, pulley's and pulley layout.
F2 will be the only distributor for it.

Since Stage 1 will be the first we produce and we have to follow strict rules for CARB we are being helped by Kraftwerks on the tuning.

Also this kit will be a plug and play setup, no welding or tapping, you don't even have to drain your engine oil to install it. We are estimating a 6 hour install time and we will have a tech line dedicated for the kits.
