*VIDEO* Me SRT-4 vs HKS built Focus (GT3037 S)

[SpoolBus]

Jon Kuroyama from HKS built this 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 a few years ago and since it has been in the magazine "Fast Fords". He recently sold it to a local guy here who thought it was untouchable by any SRT-4.

[ueyedgr8tness]

[onebadgt]

damn that srt is strong. are you still running stock internals?

[G.C]

nice kill.

[SpoolBus]

yeah with an exception of a DCR top end modifier, basically keeps oil pressure equal on the top and bottom of the head so the valves dont float.

[CHADbee]

i just posted on SRTforums.

good to see somebody still whoopin @ss in their neon. makes me miss mine :cry:

[KevinT707]

Matt I miss you ..

[SpoolBus]

[MachNU]

Ive never said this before but clean focus.

LOL i was thinking the same thing...this is the first time, but that focus was clean as ****!

[Member31410]

Nice kill homie! We (Dale, Dunnie, and moi) were just talking about you the other week.

[stillaneon]

Matt, Good Kill man. Good to see you got the car up there.

Hope everythings good.

When you coming back to visit.

[BobbyFresco]

SRT ftw.

[Siverprobegt]

Your srt-4 seems to have a better powerband than the focus.I think the focus is making the power,but by time he get going,your already gone :D.It looks good on the dyno,but dont do **** on the streets.I know someone with a mr2,upgraded his turbo,intake& urbo manifold and was make more power on the dyno,but was running a slower time @ the track

[Sport1.3]

Did no one even read this off the dudes webpage? :rolleyes:


A set of milder cams were installed recently and retuned on 91 octane pump gas and made about 380 whp.

[Sport1.3]

65+whp difference will do that

[Sport1.3]

the focus build is alittle overkill. 1000cc injectors? seriously?

[ACCORDPRIDE]

looks real good
great pulls
both cars look real good

[wishiwuzfast]

nice runs...... the hahn kit puts out some numbers....... you running race gas...hom? cant wait till i get hom hooked up on my stage 3 ....

[onebadgt]

are there ne benefits of the 20g kit over the agp 50 or 60 trim kits?

[Ronsam2006]

are there ne benefits of the 20g kit over the agp 50 or 60 trim kits?
X2...I would definitely like to know that as well..oh and nice kill btw!

[CHADbee]

spool time is alittle quicker unless you have DBB 50 trim. the 20G is also internally gated and you have the option with the hahn kit to run their portfueler system which is pretty much stock injectors with 4 added injectors so when out of boost the car does have huge injectors pulling mass amounts of fuel, instead you have the stock injectors and then an additional 4 injectors to add fuel when its needed. it makes the driveability of the car better.

pretty much you get faster spool than a thrust bearing 50 trim and the kits make good power and are pretty dang cheap.

[Psycho]

How did he make so much power on a 20g?!

Anybody read the comment by the new owner of the focus?

"I am the owner of the Focus and it is not 462WHP, not during this race at least. I was on pump so it was making roughly 380 WHP. Also, I was a bit under the power band as the turbo did not boost. Yes, call me n00b, but I just got this car and am still learning it's power band. Keep in mind, the SRT was running 32 lbs of boost while on 110 octane. I was pushing 20 lbs on 90 octane.Props to the SRT4 still, he's a really cool guy also. I'm hoping to run him again on race gas and see what happens."


I think this explains it a little better. Good kill though.

[VTECking]

And that is exactly why I will never underestimate any SRT4.

[wishiwuzfast]

was a sick ass focus.......i would like to run the focus......but it would be good run

[SpoolBus]

I love people excuses when they loose...(ahh I do the same.. :D ).kid in the focus said he has the car at 460+ on pump when we ran...he's gotta save face, big shoes to fill with that car! N-E_way I was granny shifting and having boost probs.
Just installed a catless 3" DP w/dump, Ported intake mani and WOT box with 2 step this weekend!
Next runs should be even better...

I miss you matt and my little neon : (

Tell him to run race gas and run you again. There is no way in hell he was making 460whp when he raced you. He would have pulled you if he was.

[wishiwuzfast]

the focus must have a some major turbo lag ..... needs a 40 shot get that big turbie spoolin.....maybe been lil closer.....
