F2 Working with Kraftworks for a Duratec Supercharger - Page 16

gokart2 · 11-06-2009, 07:17 PM

Pumaspeed.com has a kit for Duratec Fiesta ST's, and even Fiesta ST's with a 2.3L swap. If they can get a 2.3L and a rotrex kit in a Fiesta, I'm sure someone can get one in a focus. I talked to them awhile ago about purchasing just the mounting bracket, and they said they'd do that. But can't remember price. The hardest parts the bracket, which will delet A/C. Also, Rotrex units are 96% efficient. So....very efficienct, no lag, different pullies for different PSI's, self contained unit.... If they can make it for less then $3500, I'd be all over it. But that's about where I calculated the cost for me to do it myself....the s/c,injectors,tune,bov,piping,etc.... all fab done by myself and a friend, came out about $3700 IIRC. Also...Lag sucks.

I'm hoping it's around that price as well. Of course there hasn't been any update on it yet. I haven't heard any news yet. Which blows. If they get it out soon and have the $3500 price tag and depending on the numbers I will be all over it.

talked to a guy on the phone from f2. he said that they are trying to shoot for a price range around 3500$ thats for the stage1. now he wasn't sure so im not quoting anyone thats just what i heard. and he also said that it should be released around jan. dont quote me on that either. cus he wasn't sure. thought i would just help out with the news i got on the phone. :)

Sweet! I'm still pretty anxious about this.

cpz1987 · 11-07-2009, 12:57 AM

and from what i was told it should take 6 hours to install. no tuning needed..... which i dont understand that but yeah lol.

No tuning doesn't make sense to me either. I would probably still want a tune to make sure everything works right. 6 hours isn't bad either. I found out there is a local place where I can rent a lift and tools and stuff so that may helps things go a bit more smoothly.

^^ no tuning makes sense since everyones setup may be different.

cpz1987 · 11-07-2009, 10:17 AM

yeah. i asked him. was like no tune? he said yep. you hook the supercharger up and you just get in your car and drive... okay... how do you adjust everything? lol. he said you dont need to adjust anything.. so confused lol.

x FoCuSfReAk x · 11-07-2009, 12:26 PM

Well it makes sense that everyone's setup will be different but with adding an s/c to increase power and stuff wouldn't you need to adjust everything to copensate for the new addition. That makes me a little skeptical to buy this now.

gokart2 · 11-07-2009, 02:08 PM

U talked to a dümbä$$, tuning would be needed regardless.
