Do this, get someone to do it for you without you knowing its been done, see if you can tell a difference....

Suposedly allows it to rev better, i can understand this but the gains are debateable. St170 snorkel if you want to mess around but you have to either mod the air box of the snorkel. St170 boxes arent cheap even from the bay. Or just take the resonatorbox off...

of all the threads you made and of all the advice given, do not tell me you ended up with a 1.4 focus

Draeger · 25 Jun 2009 at 22:50

@helpimcrap.....This has got to be a "comedy" thread, yeah?.

You haven't actually bought a Focus 1.4 have you?. :eek:

bigchez · 25 Jun 2009 at 22:52

rag in the tank and a box of swan vesta should fix it.

Slime101 · 25 Jun 2009 at 23:28

Nothing except sell it and buy something else! I certainly wouldnt waste money modding it.

ganesh · 25 Jun 2009 at 23:37

I wouldn't waste my money doing anything to a 1.4, that's the point of cheap cars really, so you can save the cash for something better.

Alex_6n2 · 25 Jun 2009 at 23:38

Nothing tbh. No point. You can't turn a turd into gold..

It's a 1.4, it will do bugger all for it.

You can feel a slight improvement at top rpms, but we are talking a max of 1bhp with both snorkel and deflector. It just makes the car feel a tiny bit more revvy.

Morba · 25 Jun 2009 at 23:51

on a 1.4? i noticed no difference on a 1.6

saitrix · 25 Jun 2009 at 23:59

Yup, found more of an improvement on a 1.8 aswell obviously.

Janesy B · 26 Jun 2009 at 00:15

I've got the 90ps 1.4 in my Fiesta and it's godawful slow soI can't begin to imagine how painful the 80ps tune of the engine is

63bhp per ton

mrk · 26 Jun 2009 at 00:17

What happened to the fiesta sig :O
