dude you want to see some crazy SHYT!! they came out with a kit for the focus that gives it 450 horse and is .03 sec faster in the quarter mile for 0 - 60. if i can ill scan the article and put it on here for you guys to look at its sick man thats one fast *** ford but the stupid thing is it would cost a focus fan $110,000 thats including the car but the bad *** thing is that its got a conversion to rear wheel drive ill see what i can do about scanning it i left the motor trend mag at work today and its this months mag i think if not last months.......

WHEN THEY GONNA COME OUT WITH A KIT LIKE THAT FOR US PRO'S!!!

 

isn't Phantom Cruiser working on a V8 Focus right now??

 

Yeah, the Focus V-8 RWD conversion has been a pretty popular swap for awhile now. I'm not sure how many have actually completed it, but I seen several videos of them, definitely looks like a fun car!

 

I'd just be happy for AWD, forged internals and decent ECU tuning. Screw that sloppy V8 weight distribution. Give me 25psi on a T3 and I'm more than happy.

 

w3rd.

we got the rear end done:



we are using a 351w and should come in wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy under 100k this engine put out ~450 rwhp in a 69 fastback.

 

looking good Phantom keep up the work to bad it isnt a pro your doing this to that would be sweet!!!!

 

there's a car for everything in my family....straight-line drag racing, twisty-turny road courses, sittin' low lookin' pretty, and the parts runner! (we are still lacking a TOW vehicle though )

 

the V8 conversions actually make the focus MORE balanced...it's the excessive wheelspin you have to worry about





p.s. we had turbo + nitrous for 325fwhp and 363tq and it just wasn't "enough"

 

I bet Scott was the one who said "let's throw a V8 in there and be done with it". If it were me I'd keep throwing boost and juice at it until it blows a crater in the earth!

I did see how the Motorsports kit improved weight balance (and no knock to you) but that was a large team of professional engineers working closely with Ford to design that kit. A LOT of time and money went into theirs. I'm still rooting for you Karen!!

 

So what's the suspension mods...from what I understand it takes some serious springs to keep those wheels on the pavement

 

lol. I read that entire article I loved it.

 

Yep, boys....

"let's cut big holes in the car and throw money in there!"


The kit is all from Kugel Komponents. We are using a rearend from a Thunderbird (because it had the same bolt pattern as the Focus and disc brakes).

 

oh yeah, Kugel was the first one to mass produce the kit weren't they! I read about their focus probably 2 years ago. Good stuff.
