SVT Focus Engine Install and First Start!
Вставка

- In this video, I install my freshly rebuilt SVT Focus engine into the car. I was able to get everything hooked up and even fire it up for a little bit. It feels great to have this engine back in place. I reinstalled the engine from the top.

Your video quality has improved vastly. Great content!
Thanks buddy. Always trying to get a little better.
Nice, glad to see another one saved. I used your timing video to get mine up and running after a 4 year hibernation.
Right on! Did it go well? Wasn't too bad of a job I didn't think.
Yeah it went well. I’ve only driven it a couple of miles but it’s idled for about a hour or so. I still need to fix a couple of things from it sitting so long before I drive it much more.
@@jasonwheeler8996 nice. Ya four years there will be some things that need some freshening up. Glad to hear you got it going and found the video helpful. Save a few of these cars along the way.
Do you know what number your car is?
@@jasonwheeler8996 I don't really. How do I know?
sounds good SVT
👍👍
On the edge of my seat bud...lol. Keep the videos coming!
Lol thanks Dan. It's shitbox city over here but it has been a fun project! Happy Friday!
hell yeah bro!!
I appreciate u watching and commenting. 🤘
The video I been waiting for 😊
Lol u got it buddy! Thanks for the motivation!
Wiohoooo
My thoughts exactly!
Hey, im doing this to my SVT that blew a head gasket a few years ago. I found a new engine. Question, when you removed the old engine did you take the transmission out first? And did you remove the engine from the top or the bottom of the car?
It can be installed from the top with the transmission installed. It was removed from the bottom I think (don't remember for sure) but I know it was installed front the top with the transmission already attached to the engine.
Makes me wish I had saved my buddy's old Focus SVT from the junkyard
Man it's been a lot of rolling around on the ground but it's a fun little car for sure.
Where did you get your engine?
I bought another used engine off Craigslist and made one good engine out of the pair.
I know it's 2 years late watching this, the oil gauge on these is pseudo and doesn't actually read an oil pressure you can trust, so when cranking you didn't see anything on the gauge as the car needs to be running for it to give the gauge a signal
(ECU uses the revs and engine temp to give a pressure reading 😢)
I see. That explains a few things haha.
@@605BOLT you can trick it by trying to stall it and it won't drop low like you'd expect
Awesome project dude I'm watching while I game, nice to see such a knowledgeable American talk in very British terms, me and my missus have one each (st170 as we have them) so great to find some content on them 💪
Haha right on! This poor car was trashed before I got it. Left for dead. So I had to take a shot at getting it back on the road. It was a fun project. I'd like another one that was better cared for someday. Are your cars ZX5 or ZX3?
@@605BOLT zx3 is just a 2.0?
Our st170 in Europe is the exact same as the svt, just different bumpers and shares the same wheels that yours somehow had
Zx3 is 3 door (2 door) and zx5 is 5 door (4 door). All the SVT cars come with a 2.0L engine. All the SVT cars come with a 6speed manual. The wheels and I think some other odds and ends are the (European Appearance Package) EAP. The seats and headlights and wheels are all part of that. Highly desirable options considering the regular SVT cars had cloth seats that look pretty crappy.
i know whats wrong with it. it aint got no gas in it!
Haha yep for a minute it didn't
