turbocharging 2001 ford focus lx 5spd
 

wondering what tuning and size injectors and if mass air is a must to turbo a stock 2001 ford focus its one of my two focuses and just needs more power like my cummins and powerstroke lol what do you guys think? I have turboed mustangs and stuff like that but all used blow through carbs. can i simply make a oil feed and oil return in pan and put bigger injectors and some tuning? or would I need mass air cant remember if it is already or not.:twitch:

Being a 2001 yes it is mass air. Honestly for the power you will produce a 65 mm TB and 19 lb injectors will work. When tuning get your AF ratio and MAF transfer function right and you will be good. For that car I wold bump up to a 190 lph fuel pump also. Everyting you can get from a bone yard.

so pretty much just make feed and return oil lines and bigger fuel pump mess with some tuning and thats it I have turbocharged carbed motors before just nothing with a computer lol

Yes make sure when you plumb your tubing you blow through the MAF and have your blow valve set to 7 psi.

alright thanks a ton I will see what I can fab up with the stuff I have also is it true I cant tune a focus with minotaur? I once again have not looked into the PCM on the focus but could it be tuned with a chip?

yes you can use the chip. I am pretty sure that you can use the Minotaur. Also in your exhaust make sure to put an extra bung for an AFR guage, so you can monitor that. I would look for a turbo from a 90 Probe.

alright I will look into it a bit more I just dont want to bolt up a turbo and not be able to tune it or if I do get everything going besides the tuning what it would run like?

keep an eye on the AFR. Wouldn't want to get on it though.

If it helps, be sure to check out some of the Focus forums; there were a ton of people who had done this back when I had a Focus in '03. I'm sure you could get some ideas on what worked or didn't.
