I think a while back somebody wanted a turbo kit for their focus? Anyways just saw this as I was looking around thought it might interest you guys :P

320HP + Light car =

(Wonder if that 320HP is the power rating for the turbo, or how much power it makes)

A turbo focus in edwardstown? I thought the only things that were turboed in edwardstown were cordias and VLs, and stolen WRXs.

I see Cosworth have now developed an aftermarket supercharger kit for the 2.0 Zetec Focus(Manual). They launched it late last year. It was developed specifically for the Focus, not just some aftermarket bolt on. (although only takes about 5 hours to install)

Not cheap. US$4750

I emailed them. The only issue (apart from cost and frieght and duty and GST!!!!!!) is that you'd have to have it calibrated locally as their calibration specs are for the US.( In the us they recalibrate for you as part of the package.)

But you'd have to say that Cosworth has got one of the great brand names when it comes to Go Fast Fords (Sierra Cosworth. F1 engines etc etc). I am sorely tempted, but would end up around the $10K mark I reckon, and I can think of lots of other things to do with the money.

220 bhp. Someone clever on this site can convert it to kW. (160+/- ???)

Mate welcome back?!! I've been calling you before every cruise, with no answer! Understand you must be a busy fellow. Good to see you back!

220hp is 164hp - mmmmmmmmm

u mean kw not hp. u need to slow down and re-read what u type man - it get confusing for village people like me!!

and btw it's exacty 164.05kw says the converter.

not bad - but i would rather spend 6.5k and with the last email from tom he says 250hp or exactly 186.43kw to the fronts off 98. Good starting point. I know originally i was aiming for 500 ponies but ill start small.

Sorry Resty, that's what I meant. think I originally wrote kw to HP and then changed it, forgot to change the signs :( dumb...
