Ford Focus with Crane Stage 2 Cams at idle

[ksnay1983]

Or can anyone help me.... I hear a tapping....... Not scary loud but just weird..... Car runs good......

[DavidBlues]

@ksnay1983The idle sounds bad.....

[ksnay1983]

Joshqueen..... What exactly do you have to do to an engine when you do what your talking about.... If you check my video on my svt you will hear it don't really sound right soo I am wondering what it will take to fix..... Thanks

[joshuadqueen]

How much did it cost to do all this? I am trying to upgrade my SVT before the original engine dies on me.

[DavidBlues]

@joshuadqueen If you've got a SVT, don't waste your time doing cams, a header, or a catback. Those parts are good to go on your car. Just focus on an intake, SCT tune, an off road pipe, and forced induction like a supercharger.

I saw a Jackson Racing Supercharger on Focaljet.com for about 1600.00 not too long ago.

[joshuadqueen]

@DavidBlues Can you pm and chat via email? Having a hard time finding an SVT supercharger at all.

[Dillliebar]

My sub woofer was loving your car. had my house rumbling a bit :)

[dougyfresh005]

Do you have a ORP? and what size is the Magnaflow 2.25 or 2.5?

[DavidBlues]

@dougyfresh005 Yes. I have the SVT Header and ORP. My Magnaflow is 2.25.

[nosstang]

Great sounding focus! Mean idle



[proster10101]

I have a Zx3 2.0 and I wanna do some light mods to it after I finish my 78 Chevy Pickup. How much did you spend on the Cams, Intake and throttlebody?

[papspito]

Damn i have a Focus jus like this but with simple mods on mines, but mines sounds quite similar to this one tho lol

[XxPdpAcadiaDrummerxX]

Thumbs up for the air freshener underneath

[spvensko]

I'm pretty sure I saw this car at/near Trader Joes in Cary, NC a few weeks ago. Was that this car by any chance?

[DavidBlues]

@spvensko Yup, that was me. Some friends and I were at Tijauana Flats getting some grub.

[spvensko]

@DavidBlues Cool! Small world. I posted about seeing it on the Carolina Regional forum over at FocalJet.com but I'm not sure if you ever saw that. It looks stunning in real life by the way.

[boyes777]

love the sound and the cleanliness of the car. Looks awesome.

[jungleace123]

does your car run on soy sauce?

new exhaust get.

[rmiles01]

to the op, your zetec sounds great- ignore the haters

[DavidBlues]

@rmiles01 Dude, I don't mind the haters. I rarely listen to people who still drive their mom's minivans and talk crap on Youtube.  Thanks for watching my vids.

[rmiles01]

@DavidBlues

check out my ZX2 video under my name, crower 2 cams frpp head jba race header etc...

[sscholle333]

did you bother dyno tunin it? whats the bhp and tourque?

[hockey4ransom]

is that an air freshener haning underneath ur car? lol haha, it is I bet its rice cented

[CoChicken1337]

It would sound a TON better without that ricey ass exhaust. I mean seriously? When people think of rice this is the sound they think of.

[DavidBlues]

@CoChicken1337 LOL. Really? A Magnaflow exhaust is not a "Ricey Ass Exhaust". If it were a big ass fart can, then yes, that's a "Ricey Ass Exhaust. No matter what you do, a 4 cylinder will never sound like a V8. Please troll elsewhere.

[CoChicken1337]

@DavidBlues

Yes, really. It's not the brand of exhaust that makes it ricey, it's the sound. This thing sounds like it's running on soy sauce dude. I never said anything about a 4 cylinder sounding like a V8. Why did you bring that up? Maybe I'll put up my video of my exhaust on my ZX2 so you can see what your car COULD sound like. Man, I love when people don't like what someone says so they just pull the "troll" card. Way overused.

[DavidBlues]

@CoChicken1337 LOL. Please do. Then I'll go and troll your vid and make retarded comments.

[crazy8sx08]

@DavidBlues how many hp is ur setup running?

[nacho27able]

hey blues did u have to do any work on the heads for valve clearance?

[DavidBlues]

@nacho27able No, didn't have to with the Stage 2's. When you go to a stage 3, then you've gotta do some cutting.

[nacho27able]

@DavidBlues oh ok thants :-)



[spvensko]

Not a huge fan of the sound but the car looks spectacular.

[DavidBlues]

@spvensko Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it either, but I've heard much worse come from inline 4's.

[DavidBlues]

I finally figured out the high idle problem....

I had a leak around the throttle body gasket....which made the engine react like there was a massive vac leak. No more high idle. :)

[zx3roush05]

@DavidBlues what body kit is this......super cool..

[DavidBlues]

@zx3roush05 That's the F2 RS kit, and unfortunately F2 is now out of business. I've got tons of pics on Focaljet under the screenname Redlight if you'd like to see more.

[454canadian]

i have the same F2 RS kit ive got the widebody fenders, planning on molding them into the body. mines just like yours liquid grey, only i run the 2010 SES euro 15 soke wheels. get a set they look incredible! Ive got the WRC whale tail has well....dont know if ill put that on though. I run focus sport stage 2 cams with a vortech intercooled supercharging system. awsome car, sounds great...more vids bud, keep repin the focus! love from toronto canada.

[DavidBlues]

@454canadian I had the old 15 inch wagon wheels on it because it was sitting in the driveway awaiting the new engine. Now I've got some OZ Ultraleggera's on it.  I appreciate you checking out my vid.

[PhilQc109]

My Cat Cams stage 2 are rough on Idle like that on my 2000 Zetec, ahah =P

Nice sound btw, and wich time are you doing on the 1/4 mile?

[DavidBlues]

@PhilQc109 Thanks for checking my video out. This car hasn't seen a drag strip for a few years. I blew my differential to pieces and have just been a bit weary about taking it down the strip.

[dougyfresh005]

nice car man sounds great. also nice Tree lol

[DavidBlues]

@dougyfresh005 LOL Thanks. Gotta keep them streets fresh. :)

[sleak112]

Sounds good, check out my vids when you get the chance.

[sonicbluezx3]

Got it running I see. Looks good and sounds good!
