Good ol shitty ford head gaskets...

Does DJ have a shop now or something?

wow man, sorry to hear. how much is the engine rebuild gonna cost if you dont mind me asking?
Turbocharged Svt Focus - SVTDavan - 08-25-2005
DJ lives in Calgary. We have a good friend who owns a great shop in Red Deer. Lightspeed Innovations. That's where we do the majority of our work.
The rebuild isn't costing much. Got all the parts I need for $500 with my svtoa discount.
1) piston and ring assembly
2) 3 sets of rings
4) 4 rod end bearings
5) head gasket
6) cam seals
7) head bolts
Labour... we are doing most of it ourselves, so it won't total that much.

are you replacing piston 3? at that point i'd want to replace all of them. Perhaps with something lower compression.
Turbocharged Svt Focus - SVTDavan - 08-25-2005
We are fine with stock compression. We don't even NEED to replace piston number three, but figure we might as well to be safe. It was under a lot of pressure... ;) :D

Those are some sweet numbers though. 240. imagine once its intercooled. Thats exactly what i would be looking for.
Aside from the engine explosion.
What kind of tune were you running
SCT?
where is the mafs located?
Turbocharged Svt Focus - SVTDavan - 08-25-2005
I've got the diablo predator for tuning. Great device!
The MAF is in the cold-air extention tube.
There's plenty more power to be made in this thing - exhaust, head porting, intercooler, recirculating bov. :)
Turbocharged Svt Focus - scoobasteve - 08-25-2005
if the mafs is located on the cold air extension tube. wouldnt a bov cause a problem. and the car would be running too rich ?
Turbocharged Svt Focus - SVTDavan - 08-25-2005
that's what the predator is for. it'll be tuned properly for the bov once i get around to getting one... maybe over the winter. heh.
Turbocharged Svt Focus - scoobasteve - 08-25-2005
Wouldnt it be easier to have the mafs closer to the TB?
Turbocharged Svt Focus - SVTDavan - 08-25-2005
I'm not really sure how that stuff works... but the tune we are doing reads before the air is compressed.... I'd have to ask my tuner why we went with this setup...
Turbocharged Svt Focus - FociPhil - 08-25-2005
geez if you get an intercooler, and PP, your gonna be making some serious numbers...
but that sucks that it happened...hope everything turns out alright.
Turbocharged Svt Focus - SVT ZX3 - 08-30-2005
Sucks your motor check out...you seem to be taking it pretty well though. I'm looking forward to your new numbers after it's all back together.
