If you 10 in your yard, just say: I have a junkyard :lol:

J/K

Interesting conversion none the less - wasn't there a post some time ago that had a V8 Focus?

Wow where have you guys been the V8 Focus has been out for a long time now. Ford Racing sells the complete kit. There are about 50 cars running around the US with this done. Ford calls it a RS8 and has 438 hp that they demo and it is somewhere around 48/52 balance. Very trackable car.

OK Try this one this si the same guy I have been speaking with about building my motor. This motor has quite a few miles and race runs on it. It has a auto-box as well. Oh and it is a daily driver. 2.0L WRC block.

His quote: As some know a few months back i did this dyno with the White ATX car. This full boost and all the Turbo has to offer.

I figured i would post it know to show just how much the Focus - Power Engines would take. This is a stock crank,CGI Block FR/FP head stock cams and coil 9.0 Compression

In my opinion there is NO better head than the FR head and when we do a little more work to it that realy isnt needed for 90% of the people out there you can see with stock cams how well it works

Please keep in mind when looking at this dyno this is with a ATX Trans

Would you really need anything more than 350hp?

I am building for 400 but will retard to 200-250. I want the motor built strong so I will have no issues with running 50-70% boost. Endurance is the issue I am looking for. For slalom events I only want to run about 170.
