  1. Well based on the research I've done this is the tried and true 2.0 Ford has been using in the Focus for years. That being said a cold air intake will probably have to be modified or one mocked up on your own. Next is an Exhaust, which I haven't come across one so will need to be done by a local exhaust shop. If I end up getting a Transit, that's probably the two first mods I'll do to help with overall throttle response and power. There is also a 2.0 Throttle Body that can be found for the Focusl that I came across. I think the biggest change for the amount of money will be Cam gears and underdrive pulleys. So as mentioned above for around 15-25 hp more it'll likely end up costing around $1200-$1500. Personally that's a very decent increase in power for such a small displacement and not bad considering the cost. Question is who'll be the first. I hope it's not me or I'll be the guinea pig. By the way a Turbo will definately require a different tranny as the stock won't hold up for to long so I think a turbo investment I'll leave for those using the Transit as a Project Car. That's a whole lot of dough.
  2. Did some quick research on the net and seems those RS4 Chips are a total scam. I figured so. It be hard to believe at even half they numbers they say.
  3. I'm very skeptical about those numbers. Gotta do some research now.
  4. Sorry Bro But You Should have stop Reading. I hate for you To get Whoozy!
  5. I havent yet purchased a Transit but was considering it for it's Utilitarian Use. Considering Giving up our 08 Honda Accord for the Transit Wagon which we can also implement into using for Our Tile Business instead of using our Larger Super Duty everywhere we go. Only concern I have is the Power Output of the Motor and Trans. I live in Hawaii and I drive on a lot of Hills and Mountain Passes. Anyone did there Homework on Possible Mods such as Lightened Underdrive Pulleys, CAM Gears, Intake Set Up, Throttle Body, Programmer/Chip and Exhaust that are already available for the 2.0 used in the Focus? I plan to lower the Suspension as well and put some 225/17 or 18 Meat for Treads so any suggestions there would be Nice! If you have modified the Exterior if you could post Pics to help My Wife and I get a better Idea of What can be Done. I did pull this pic off of the Internet, Pretty Tight! I hope I haven't breached any Forum Rules by Requesting other Topic Material in this Thread. Mahalo Nui Loa
