focus st
my mates both have uprated focus sts
and i just cant keep up with them
i reckon mine is aound 300php-ish and will soon be up abit on that
im not too far behind them, and obv on the bends im prob a touch up on them
they have "stage1 " mods, uprated intercoolers, exhaust, chipped ect, GGR induction and forge intercoolers i think
they also have quaife diffs
but id like to be able to pull away on stright lines
there engines are more revvy, i have to change well before them, and obv top speed there off, but thats kindof the reason id like to pull away a bit quicker 0-100.
what kindof power level would i need to get to to acheive this?

std ST 225, what they done to get 300bhp,
Stage 1 isn't 300bhp, or is it?

as asked, whats your car?
To 'pull away' from 300bhp car.... would you need 350+bhp?

lol yeah
ther at the limit traction wise and just wheel spin through everygear lol
but they reckon the quaife diff has defo made a bit of an improvement
altho my mate just put a 3 inch hole in his sump, so i can beat him no bother just now lol

yeah thats quite probably an issue
its getting an avcr fitted next week and upping the boost and being mapped
all my mapping has been done live on road so far so dont have any dyno figures
however after its been mapped next week ill be booking it in to see what the numbers look like

guys my bhp is a total guestimation
its just what ive been told my mods should see me at
like i said it ll be dynod after its mapped
however dyno figures vary so much it seems
what ill do is get us all booked in somehwere for a day - then even if figures are out it should still give proportionate differences betwenn vehicles

I have a 98 sti, and a modded st drove past me a junction and i could see him puttin foot down so i floored it, caught him in no time and was past him easy, and at that time i only had full decat and apexi induction kit. I would get your car checked out, once its mapped by a decent mapper you should annialate them.

Certainly would get OPs dyno'd though.

its an earlt sti i have standard 250bhp ish
so with mods i have id be looking at 300bhp-ish mapped by andy forrest
ive got more powerloss through transmission, and with roughly the same power it makes sense the focus beats me, once rolling amnyway
im presuming weight is similar?
his focus i would class as fcking rapid tbh, but ive never been in a car with for example 400bhp, to compare his too.

Don't quite understand why they pull away, had a mate spend £9000 at wolf racing and his focus st was only kickin out 300 bhp,had launch control , LSD , etc . Icould still hammer him off the lights in my lightly modded uk turbo, after 70 mph he would power off in the distance.when it was damp or raining his LSD could not cope & it was game over evertime

I have owned much faster cars in my97 Sti ra on a daily basis. Being an old fart people think I should have groan out of it but I haven’t yet lol your car can not be running 300 mate, either it is down on power or you are carrying to much weight in the car (that’s in the car not “your fat”)

Whats the full spec of your car?
Dont bother with a VF turbo, your standard TD05 is more than a match for a VF28/34/35 and its reliable! Also you would have to alter the VF to a 90 degree inlet.

hi boost is set at 1 bar
im getting my avcr fitted this week which will see hopefully 1.3maybe 1.4 bar
also in next 3 next weeks im gettin ported headers/up pipe and a wee map tweak if needed
mine has the ra box, so tops out 120mph-ish, well redlines at that and i dont like taking it there lol
