RE: Building a Boosted Duratec - Scorcher000 - 01-07-2015
Some of the puzzle pieces still need to be layer in but it's too dam cold to do so and I need to change my cams...
Crower FI stage 2's need 11-1 compression. I have much lower. So I know someone with a set of Crane stage 2's that will work for me lol.
Other then that it will turn over. It also needs some wiring for the LED taillights and some extra add one like my roll cage and some fiberglass worm on the interior.

1 step forward and 2 steps back. Seems to be the Focus life...
I have to remove the head and do some valve work again!!!...
1-90psi, 2-0psi, 3-0psi and 4-5psi. Somehow the valves touched.
I think someone dropped my head on its side when it was wrapped up in the tire shop. I found it sitting on the valves one day... glad they aren't supertech valves...
Oh well another couple weeks and I will try it again.
The motor did almost start but only on one cylinder.

that sucks man. seems you have more set backs then anything
*hug*
RE: Building a Boosted Duratec - Scorcher000 - 04-21-2015
Ya I know. It's ok though. Brandon hooked me up with a 2.0 and a 2.3 head. And I just ordered a set of valves. I'll unbolt it all and send her off to Berco to install new my Crower springs and new valves, guide and seals.

Terrible.
I've been fallowing this build intently too. Lol
RE: Building a Boosted Duratec - drunkinmonkey - 04-21-2015
still waiting for my return hug john
RE: Building a Boosted Duratec - Scorcher000 - 04-21-2015
lol Sorry buddy I was all dirty from work. Here is your "HUG"
Anyway lol I just tore most of the bolt-on stuff from the head. Just need to get a pan. Drain the coolant and then I can remove the side cover and then the head.
Keep following it. I've taken my time. Thought everything was perfect but sometimes s**t happens. At least we have a great group of people on here that can help out at a moments notice. Thank you everyone!!!
