I would think so. But all that power is good for is speed. Come to a corner and it will torque steer out like mad! Not good.

Still a ****e engine in the ST.
Yes because the Duratec I4 is reknowned for being a rubbish engine. Not like they're popular in motorsport, for kit cars, hillclimb cars, and highly tunable whilst staying N/A. Not like its lightweight, with big valves and ports for good gasflow. Not capable of over 300bhp without forced induction or anything like that
Your ignorance is really getting very tiresome. The engine is not at its best in the Fiesta ST as it leaves the factory for sure, but to call it ***** is rubbish.
It's more tuneable because Ford limited the ST? What on earth does that mean?
Air filter giving massive gains eh? Are you a halfords man by any chance?
You'd need to completey sort the breathing out, with a quality airbox, manifold and catback, as well as mapping, which is not cheap, you just can't tune N/A cars easily, especially 2 Litre 4 pots, and then your looking at 30bhp max. Still a ****e engine in the ST.
Don't know what planet people are on, but a ST does not keep up with a 182 Clio. Also whats with the posts about scary clio running costs, has the world gone mad?
Where does the Integra engine come into it? I think I see why you keep calling the 2 litre Fiesta engine crap now - you're trying to compare it with a K20A?
It's crap in the ST, so it's crap, end off. Were not talking about bloody motorsport here or kit cars, were talking about a 5k hatchback. It's gutless and rubbish.
You dont see many renault engines in kitcars. Why is that?
. If you are looking into reliability look at a BMW or Audi etc!
PS: Smokey, go away, you're not reading the thread before replying, you could even read the first post before p**sing everyone off with your nonsense? Thanks
