Evening chaps, been trying to sell my Mk3 Focus ST estate and had no real interest except jokers.
So thinking fuck it - build a track car.

It’s already mapped with MSD300 remap, Scorpion 3” exhaust, decat and pro alloy intercooler and big boost pipe kit.

Thinking of possibly supercharging with a Rotrex or Procharger but no idea what a standard tall block can do.

Any ideas people?

Will need brakes and poss suspension too.

Cheers

 

Give will pedley a messge pal.

 

I'd leave it standard, and spend the money on tyres and travel and just abuse the life out of it.

It will be more fun if it's very reliable !

 

This is quite true!
Got another few weeks left on ebay, if it doesn’t go this time fuck it. Will be used hard!
deffo needs brakes tho
had some joker who was supposed to turn up today. Knew he wouldn’t. Just fuckwits about at the mo..

 

Foreged pistons and rods before do anything crazy with the engine

 

Have you got a valuation from WBAC mate? They are offering more for my mk3 rs than what i paid 2 years ago so maybe worth a check? Can sell your mods on aswell

 

Yeah, £5395.
No thanks 😂
The Mk2’s are going for more than that.

Might stick it on Auto Trader for £8500 and see what happens.

 

If i do keep it then i guess the first thing to do is add lightness before i start messing with the engine.
but yeah, from what i can find out you are quite correct with rods and pistons.

 

2.0 litre ecoboost are not a bad engine around the power you have. Anymore and it's very common on the 2.0 litre engines to break the ring lands off the pistons resulting normally to a fully built bottom end maybe sleeping with is expensive. The 1.6 and 2.3 ecoboost have far less failures.
i would pistons and rod the bottom end and up the anti.

cheers paul
