As the title explains, i am on a tight budget, as i am a college student. I have a 2006 Focus ST, and Im looking to modify it without breaking my bank. I have a K&N Cold air intake, and X2 Chip. Anymore budget-worthy ideas to boost some HP?

So, I’m on the downward slope of my N2o build. I know I need to go a step colder plug. What type of plug are you guys running and what gap are you using? BTW I’m only spraying a 50 shot (NOS wet kit).

Does anyone know the diameter of the tube that comes with the NOS purge kit. The tube that comes with the kit isn’t long enough for my application.

Alright, I have tom’s kit with his comp turbo. Whats a good size to start out with for an oil restrictor?

Dummy me I don’t remember the size of my oil inlet line at the moment… I’ll post this up later this evening, might help to know that for everyone (if it matters)

Reason why I believe it’s oil getting past my seals is because when I first installed the kit I had pretty big oil inlet line… ( I didn’t know it matterd at the time) I installed a smaller line that better suited the turbo and ta da no more smoke.

Well…still sorta smokes at times and I can smell it mostly. So I think it’s time for a restrictor.

thanks.

just curious. ive been thinking about the jackson racing superchargers for quite some time but never really did any research into it. who has done the most powerful JRSC build in a zetec, how much power did it make and how did they do it. piggybacking nitrous doesnt count lol. im thinking about doing this for a daily driver build. its cheaper lol

Hey i have a question, i finally decided to put up my power works super charger kit up for sale, its been used before (not by me) and has just been sitting around our shop in a box. I’m pretty sure everything is there and looks like it has no problems. So my question is how much do they usually cost? Its for a 2002 Focus. I also have pictures if anyone is interested. This is not a "for sale" post i am just trying to find out how much people pay for these.
