Carson said:No its not
ITS never finished a 2.5l kit
beyondloadedSE said:Any pictures of the kit actually on a contour? Dyno numbers? Id be interested to see how that front mount intercooler is going to fit with the stock radiator and AC. Custom turbo manifolds, collector pipe, downpipe, intake piping? Do you realize that the svt focus fuel pump only works for the 2000 contour right since its returnless while the 95-99 are return fuel systems? IMO for what your getting, Id rather have the ADC kit since it comes with a lot more components and higher quality parts for just about the same price as your stage II kit.
Carson said:The info I was talking about was ours
He was stating how much more complete ADS's setup is when he doesn't even understand what ours comes with.
beyondloadedSE said:Yes, I do. Its listed right on your website.
50 trim t3/to4e
Tial 38mm wastegate
Hot parts ceramic coated
Connects to stock catback location
39lb injectors
90mm Maf
Cleanable air filter
A/N oil feed with stainless braid drain line
SCT custom chip Front Mount IC and Turbosmart BOV
Focus SVT fuel pump
Unless of course this list is incorrect? From judging by this list, it has no mention of custom fabbed stainless steel manifolds, downpipe, intake piping, etc but rather just ceramic (jet hot im presuming) coating of the stock parts. What does "connects to stock catback location" refer to? Thats where your mounting the turbo? Im confused. :shrug: To me it just sounds like a basic kit and the piping and fabrication is left to the customer.
For $5000 ($500 more than your stage II kit) I received a T3/T4 turbo, Turbo XS RFL blow off valve, 700 cfm spearco water/air intercooler, and Chris at ADC personally dyno tuned a chip for me after I sent him my MAF. 321 Stainless headers, 304L downpipe and intake pipes, Downpipe includes flex and 3" high flow cat, heat exchanger, intercooler resevoir, resevoir pump, 42 lb injectors, NGK spark splugs, oil catch can, and all misc clamps and hosing are also included. Everything needed to make this kit work is included.
Please clarify this list if its incorrect. Thanks.
Btw, im "badmouthing" your kit, because you obviously havent even tested the kit yet, because your claiming to fit an air to air intercooler on your car. This issue has been discussed ad nauseum. :fart:
Livinsvt said:Adc heat exchanger is mounted in front, but that is moot. It doesn't restrict flow hardly at all. The Svt cooling system works very good, but who knows how it will react with a core blocking it, and added heat from the turbo exhaust.
RTStabler51 said:ADC's kit doesn't use FMIC, I couldn't tell if that is what you were referring to or not.....the intercooler basically sits where the battery/intake tract used to be.
Livinsvt said:Well Carson made the one for ITS, so I assume Carson is making the same for Forced Fab, lets see them. Sure it will be good to make some hp and at a low price, but for it to make 500, I imagine will take alot of pressure, which means heat.
I beleive Adc's primaires are 1-7/8", which I believe are way to big myself, but do make good top end power, but not sure the reasoning behind that. No one has ever had an issue cracking there headers.
How do you expect to control boost, espescialy on a 500hp motor, with the wg running off of one bank?

Once again its the plumbing to , not the core itself.
