    Its important but there isnt really a whole lot you can do about it as far as your body weight is concerned. Except loose weight, but I'm not gonna tell anyone to do that.

    I was mainly asking for decision of battery location, and where to put a water meth tank

    • The importance of the weight distribution really depends on your performance goals. I personally don't recommend moving the battery to the back of the car for several reasons. More wiring usually means more trouble, more weight and more load on your charging system.
      Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

        What side of the engine bay would be best?

        • Don't tell my fiancee. She'd be upset if she saw this. But it was pre degreased.

            • Have a bid in on a focus st turbo for 200 . That'll provide 270hp to play with. Installing suspension and brakes, and wheels this weekend

                • Focus ST turbo would be interesting and they're going to very available for a while, just have to figure out the manifold to turbo situation.

                    I'm going to mod the factory turbine housing, maybe cut off the flange and use a vband

                        Well, that 2554r was claimed to be a 240 hp turbo, and the 2560r was claimed to be 310, so the focus st turbo falls right in between. I thought the 2560 was too big for a 1.6, so this st turbo sounds just right.

                          But no, I have absolutely no idea how it spools on the focus. I've never driven one.

                            Should be pretty fast, the turbo is a little small for the 2.0L. They are basically making full factory boost at 2000 RPM or so in the focus and actually choke the engine a little above 5500. That is why all the ecoboost motors make giant torque numbers with a tune because the turbos spool so early.

                              Sounds perfect on a 1.6
