cant make this now! FUCK. family shit goin on.
now somebody else can win that free t shirt i had my eye on…damn
Yeah it’s a 1.6. If I was gonna upgrade I’d rather go with a decent setup rather than a factory take-off. Not to say it wouldn’t make more power though!
True I hear that. I love the fast spool and low end grunt the K04 in my ms3 gives. Totally runs out of steam at 6k though even with a tune removing the boost cut. But since it spools and brings on the torque at around 2500 RPM’s it doesn’t really bother me. It’s great for daily driving.
same with the focus st. has a k03 turbo tho. totally limits the potential of the car. BUT i do get why the ecoboost cars have such a small snail. the whole point is instant trq. great for a daily tho
why did you get rid of the fj?
Eh a few reasons, better mpg, lower payment etc.
is it an AWD dyno?
Yup
heard ity suppose to be 12.456765 degrees out that night
hahahahahaha
i’ll try to keep my car on the road until this
im in for this show if it stays dry .
if im off i’ve got nothing better to do, and yes, i will run it on the dyno.
did you drive a st yet?
i did and its hella gay. they have auto braking to limit torque steer. to much e control, plus it has fake engine noises so the driver can hear it. who payed a engineer to make fake engine noises? ford calls it the “sound symposer”
the mazda speed is alot better all around and faster. but for $25,000 id take a bunch of other cars.
FWIW the MS3 also has a lot of “e controls” too. It limits torque to the wheels if you get on it and the wheels aren’t straight. It has two other traction control systems (luckily these can be turned off). Then there’s the factory tune that limits boost to 8and 12 psi in 1st and 2nd. Also above 6k RPM’s the computer cuts boost although the K04 runs out of steam there anyway.
Ya a bigger wastegate will help a lil turbo up top
I drove both and if I had to pick it would be speed 3. The st needs awd just like euro models
I was messing with a ms3 since 07 too.
I like the power down low personally. Not too often I find myself daily driving in the upper reaches of my tachometer lol.
Guys, hearing there is a lot of people coming. If you want to get in the Dyno I suggest you get here early and get signed up.
