Thats my car and thats the power at the fly wheel. It's 223bhp at the wheels which is spot on the book figure from Ford

Don't manufacturers quote flywheel figures?

ASH1982 · 3 Oct 2009 at 21:21

Well if they do, I am even happier with that figure

thats the power mountune quote after their mods, so I would be quite sceptical about the results you have received there ASH1982.

Montune claim 256bhp for their version of the ST, so it's clearly been fettled. Bonus if you didn't know about it!

Did you buy the car new? Maybe a chip has been installed at some stage via the OBC and not removed?

ASH1982 · 3 Oct 2009 at 21:27

I have owned the car from new (10 miles on the clock). It is stock and did feel better to drive than the other ST's I test drove.

If you do not beleive that figure then fine but I own the car, I know the car and thats the figures produced by todays event. The Audi has produced figures like that before on other rolling roads so I am inclined to beleive that the dyno is accurate.

What is the boost gauge reading on full boost?

Firegod · 3 Oct 2009 at 21:30

I knew I shouldn't have posted this. Why oh why people have to disagree with figures is beyond me.... If this continues the same way then I'll ask for the thread to be deleted.

My car is nearly spot on, the kit is marketed at 200bhp. And as said, the Audi is also producing power as expected from her. So how that can be nearly exact and then for people to say the result from the other car is wrong, on the same rollers, is beyond me.

Remember people, not one engine is the same.

Exactly... If my figuers had been lower than expected people would have said they are low, oh well never mind. But if they are over what is expected people just point blank refuse to accept it.

30BHP more than quoted stock figure and you're getting arsey about people questioning it?

ASH1982 · 3 Oct 2009 at 21:36

Yes I bloody am! There is physical proof!
It's not as if we are making a claim with nothing to back it up
This is one of the reasons I rarely come on this forum... the attitudes of people in general on here suck

Yes! Why people can't just say "that's a good figure" everyone has to be so dismissive it's a joke. Everyone just tries to pick faults.

James I would just delete this thread as people obv do not care on here

Firegod · 3 Oct 2009 at 21:39

Mods please close this thread for me.

thepharcyde · 3 Oct 2009 at 21:39

OP take it in a light hearted manner, I was just curious at how a stock ST Focus the same car I own making 30bhp more over stock.

Janesy B · 3 Oct 2009 at 21:39

Wow, my attitude does not suck. Nor does anyone else.

I think people have asked very reasonable questions considering the car is making 30BHP more than stock.

ASH1982 · 3 Oct 2009 at 21:42

There is no questions to be answered at all
My old, 1999, 1.8L Focus, book figure was 115bhp
It made 129bhp stock on two different sets of rollers

Total luck of the draw engine wise
