    I agree. These modern engines blow me way. Five years ago I thought the 2.3 in the heavy ass S550 chassis was a joke. Now I feel like im eating crow every time I head to the track. That BMW engine in the supra is just another step up in that technology.

    Are you on stock Turbo in the Eco-boost? The head must flow very well.

    Yes. Stock engine and stock turbo. Here is my list

    Tune+ wastegate actuator
    Drop in air filter
    M/T ET Street R radials 275/40/17
    UPR dual valve catch can
    Levels street intercooler

    I run it on E30 fuel with no passenger/rear seats and no exhaust past the downpipe

    Finally getting this thing back together soon. Last spring I ended up cracking the block and found a couple bent rods during teardown.

    I recently picked up a 2.0 block for the Focus ST as it is way stronger. I am using the 2.3 crank with Malhe pistons and Wiesco boostline rods. I also just purchased the Comp 58/58 bigger turbo for it. The motor still needs to be assembled and I need to figure out what fuel pump and injectors I am going to run. These darn DI fuel pumps that run off the cam are stupid expensive.

    Anyway it should be in the 600-650 RWHP range on E85 once I get it all lined out.

    Car is running and in the tuning process. We are pretty close to finished on the 93 octane tune but it started blowing the intercooler pipes off at around 30psi. I just installed some new aftermarket intercooler pipes. Hoping to switch over to full e85 and get tuning that in the next week or two.

    Whoa. Had no idea these things ran that well. I remember seeing Mitsu Evo guys roll the ends of their IC piping and use hair spray at each connection. Seemed to help when they were running man boost.

    Sounds like it will be pretty nasty when your tune is finished.

    Still working on this thing. The little motor is unable to spool the 62mm turbo enough to get it on the two step. Working with my tuner, we just ordered the NX nitrous kit specifically for the car and a controller. Looks like we will be staging with the spray to get it to build boost for launching. Hoping to be able to hit the track in another month or so.

    Either way........DAAAAGGGGGG! I was at a custom engine shop in New Albany, Indiana about 12 years ago named ERL. They do marine and automotive both. At that time they were making a 4 cylinder that made over 600 FWHP N/A they stated. Don't recall if it was on race fuel or E85. Said at that time the most of those went into Sions being raced. They also did something for Honda as I recall. They made their own cams, cranks, and did tons of custom work. It was a neat place. Their main staple was marine. Hard to believe the HP that can be made with 4 holes in the block these days.
