Turbo Charged SVT Focus Breaks Loose In 4th Gear

[pittmanjanelle]

Yo is it chipped or is it still electronically limited  Cause my 03 SVT with the chip hits 160

[TheFukkup]

well you really never had traction

[aliencurv]

@TheFukkup amen sister! That's why i also drive an s4

[TheFukkup]

@aliencurv

i dont know what an audi has to do with traction but have fun with it

[aliencurv]

@TheFukkup has to do with me having a few fast fun cars :) .. enjoy being a prick, dude! cheers

[GrimSVT]

Just wanna say. I <3 your car. Also, your responses to the hecklers is the exact reason I like the Focus community (I haz a Red '03 SVT) . P.S. (I think they must've been wearing their V-Tec FTW t-shirts and decided, "Hey, since I can't make torque, I'll just pester a four banger who can" :).

[chuy581808]

wat kind of tranny is that????

[EKScolton]

learn how to drive standard you goof

[aliencurv]

@EKScolton lol, thank you for that contribution. do you care to expand on that?

[hollow121314]

def not 4th gear.

[aliencurv]

that's okay, not everyone can count. if you need help, just ask.

[hollow121314]

maybe those are just really short gears or something but the car was going maybe 40, i can leave a patch at 40

[aliencurv]

ah i see where the confusion is. the point is that because the car is making so much power, i can burn out all the way to 4th gear.

any car can burn out in 1st.

2nd is a little tougher

3rd requires a lot of power

and of course to burn out in 4th requires nearly 400 flywheel hp.

it's a pretty fun fast car. my stage 3 s4 is faster though :)

[sepehrkosari2008]

is a tur bo better than an intake???

wich one boosts your acceleration and wich one boosts your top speed, or they do both

[rebeltshead]

turbo is waaay better in all aspects except for reliability in some cases

[verticallyblessed]

wow... what?

[tvr713]

and also, the SVT looks DAMN nice... i hope mine can look that good...

how fast is it anyway? i have a Evo IX also, would it compete? i could get ya on launch... but from a roll would be interesting.

[tvr713]

what song is that?

[deejayblackout1]

maybe you should spend some money on a limited slip differential so you can stop that one tire fire.

[dryan084]

What Turbo do you have? and whats it on retail. Im thinking about tuning out my SVT. Any Advice?

[aestheticsoldier]

I also own an SVT. The most beneficial/ low buck mods have been a Borla 3" header back cat delete exhaust, K&N intake an ECU reflash from Hypnotic Illusions (rev/ speed limiter delete) and a Steeda short throw shifter. Never dynoed, but its good for an honest 145 MPH and absolutely screams past 3,500 RPM. I also have an Eibach Pro Damper system and its frankly a piece of shit; the ride height LOOKS GREAT n handles okay, but it has settled too much and is biting the fenders during compression.

[FatGirlsSmell]

shit looks clean son

[360jeepboy]

Spining ant' wining son..

[aliencurv]

who was i racing?

[aliencurv]

And btw, it's "winning", "spinning" and "ant'" is even less of a word then "ain't"

[360jeepboy]

Hey, Chill on the bad grammer remarks. Sorry I suck at typing. I was just making a comment. So you can spin your tires through 4th gear. That's great, but when you are racing are you still going to be spinning? (better) I mean power is nothing without traction..

[aliencurv]

i like your reply better then your original post. i posted this because i've never owned a vehicle that could do that before . nearly 400 flywheel hp on the most current engine is surely frightening, and useless, but it's rewarding at the same time.

i haven't launched the car very often because i get too eager and too much throttle spins the tire . so if i do race, its usually from a roll .

i know power isn't everything, but it was my goal to see what i could do. to each is own, right?

[illchewonthatrug]

Power is everything! Who needs traction? LOL just kidding.

[aliencurv]

thank god for boost controllers :)

[benzodiazepimp]

*than

[FordsBetter516]

i hope the SVT fusion is as cool. i heard its gonna have about 340HP

[Gavyn84]

that focus would be the ducks nuts if it was rwd or awd

[Pracerdohczx2]

There are people that had v8 swap conversion on the focus and converting the drivetrain to a rwd system. Search for zx351 videos

[GUSTAVOEROD]

what's your 1/4 mile time?

[chuck86]

hey whats the name of the song,lol? bad ass foci btw.

[DanielSVT]

nicee vid! i have a question.. wich motor mounts did u use? i dont know wich brand buy, VF o Steeda.. i have a Garret T3/T04 50 Trim @ 11 psi, help... :P

[aliencurv]

i had to go back to the original mounts because they are softer and absorbed more torque. stiffer mounts break the bolts. I have broken many bolts and i baby the car. i never drop the clutch because it's too much power and would just burn the tires away :P

thanx for the compliment :)

[700whpfocus]

do u have any pic of the engine or kit?

[700whpfocus]

mtx 75 is a stronger tranny. which turbo kit do u have?

[aliencurv]

mtx can be if it's rebuilt . the getrag is a stronger tranny .

I don't have a kit . i built my own . it's a gt25r-450 .

hope u enjoyed the vid :)

[laina423]

Sweet. gotta love thoes cosworth motors.

how's the tranny holdin up?

the getrag in the svt shifts great...I wish I had one in my gti vr6 turbo.(just built).

nice job on the car.  cool vid.

[aliencurv]

Thanx :) :) .. I'm on my second getrag . The first broke because my old build was super charged, we made 240 @ wheels . But that supercharger kicked in so quick that the tranny didn't like it much .

With the turbo, i find the little bit of lag to be softer on the tranny
