This returning customer has had a few boxes with us now. He had just swapped out his old car and just taken ownership of this awesome Ford Focus ST 2.3 ECOBOOST. We soon had it fitted with our Bluespark 3 Channel Pro Petrol SENT chip tuning box and got it up on the dyno for testing.
The stock run provides us with some pretty accurate torque claims from Ford, as it wasn't too far off of the stock figure claims from them, for this 2019 Ford Focus ST 2.3.
You can see it ran 428Nm on the stock run, with Ford claiming this to be 420Nm, so it's great to see some consistency from their claims here.
Power on the other hand, was slightly less from what Ford claim. You can see it ran 258hp at stock, with them claiming it should be 280hp. A good example here of how true power figures can differ to what the manufacturer claim once properly dyno tested.
Dyno testing before and after shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a significant increase in power and torque.
Low down torque with our unit is greatly improved. At stock the engine produced 428Nm and now 478Nm with the box installed, bringing those gains in a lot sooner than before and holding them throughout the rev range.
Peak power also saw a decent increase. The engine produced 258hp from stock and now 303hp with the box installed, showing consistency through the rev range.
