Kickass. What CR did you decide to go with? Are you fabbing up the header, or is someone else doing it?
BTW, that MAF adapter is f'n huge!!! :shocked:

Very sweet. Are those Carillo rods? Certainly the style. That _H_ is a beauty.i went with the 8.9:1 pistons. it was either those or the 10.6:1.
the MAF adapter has a 4" inlet:shocked: i couldnt find an 80mm lighting MAF for as cheap as the 90mm. its basically the same MAF just a slightly larger bore. its gonna be a draw through setup so its not a problem.
heres some quick pics i just took compairing the old and new piston/rod assemblies. just as i suspected the compression height of the focus pistons is smaller. if you look at the big end they are both at the same height.
Good point, I sorta assumed a cooler, since the block is already drilled for one. I'm planning on one just for fooling around on a road race track.I've gotta agree... Unless you are shooting for 600+HP, oil squirters aren't needed. An oil cooler would be more beneficial.

Ah. Thanks. The sandwich style does typically add a thermostat which is a plus for all season street driven stuff. I've never run one though. I sorta think it's another place to leak. ;>Not on these forums. But on the Focus forums, a few of them have an oil coolers. You can get a sandwich-style cooler that fits between the oil filter and the block. There are also guys that completely re-locate the filter when installing a Powerworks supercharger. All of the stuff is out there, just nobody has put one on a Zetec Contour/Mystique.
There hasn't really been a need, until now. BP
