Not too many performance parts out yet. People are working on it though. Check around here for updates.

If you have a built 500hp focus, how did only a 100 shot fry it?

Wow, Educated on cars, considering a BOV (Blow off Valve) doesn't work on roots type superchargers and putting a FMIC (Front Mount Intercooler, or Rice intercooler) will just make your car run hotter.

wheres the bs flag when you need it...

Rice intercooler? If your talking about air/air intercooler. It could run hotter, depends on the size and desgin. If you were to remount the intercooler already in the car (air/water) to the front, it would run cooler.

man the crap is thick in here. I previously owned a Focus that I turbo charged and let me tell you the ammount of people who have a 500hp focus is probably .1%. The ammount of work that engine needs to hold together at that power level is quite substantial. You would need a wrc block beefier billet mains forged rods, forged pistons, a huge ass turbo, converted to return fuel system etc..... One of the pioneering guys in turbocharging focus only has about 390 hp out of his turbo SVT. Just felt the need to let you know how big of a tool bag you sound like.

Remount? The heat exchanger is in the front. Since, that is what cools the water that absorbs the heat after the Blower.

There is no way a Air-to-Air could run cooler than our Air-to-Water. Ricer Intercooler comment might have been over the top. But, an Air-to-Water intercooler is the most efficient set up out there.

An Air-To-Water intercooler can exhange more heat, water (or coolant) can absorb more heat than air, therefore the best bet is for someone to stick with the stock system. Just listen to the Psi-Fi guys, they love the intercooler on the Red Line.

If you are talking about Toms svt,his zx3 puts out over 450hp.

Umm...guys? It's a bullshit post. I can't believe it got serious replies.

I am indeed and I have been out of the "scene" for a while. He keeps on making more and more power.

Wow . . . . . .

this has to be a joke right. unless you did the RWD swap from kugel komonents v8 conversion 500 hp is a big number to claim.

BS

There was only 1 person who had a 500+hp Focus, and that's Turbo Tom, and he has about 10,000 into the engine and drivetrain.

Toms running a automatic in his zx3 now,its going [email protected] in the 1/4
