I assume you mean Front Wheel Kilowatts? Got a pic of the graph?

phil545 · 10-12-2013, 09:49 PM

Yeah front wheel mate

BadMax · 10-12-2013, 09:53 PM

Cool! I assume the Mrs car is making the same.

Nice result, think you've got a bit of a freak there Phil!

phil545 · 10-12-2013, 10:47 PM

Hahah that's not stock guys, done a few mods and a tune :-)

aratic · 11-12-2013, 09:26 AM

Even so they are impressive numbers for tune and intake only, close to 250fwhp

phil545 · 11-12-2013, 10:10 AM

Thanks mate, just ordered a Forge Intercooler for it this morning

She's only got Bauscher pod and Unleashed tune.

hazrd · 11-12-2013, 01:40 PM

Wow, thats nuts.
I went to a dyno day a few weeks ago and a guy I know (not on the forums) has the unleashed tune, CP-e intercooler, and modified backbox and only got 171kw.

I'd be VERY happy with your 184!

hugoti · 11-12-2013, 01:44 PM

How does one get an Unleashed tune for their Focus ST? Do you go to an auto performance store?

I'm in Perth btw. So if anyone knows any decent performance tuning shops in Perth that has experiences with STs then let me know.

Remembering that every dyno will give a different reading of course.

They're only meant to be used as a tool for comparison

Anyone noticed any exhaust smoke under acceleration up hill in their ST? Notice it twice now so might need to hit up the dealer....

phil545 · 12-12-2013, 11:09 PM

Yeah mate, they all do it, even more when tuned, usually when u give it a boot or as it changes gear, like not constant smoke though

RACERED · 12-12-2013, 11:24 PM

Oh good I hope so... Was hoping it's not just mine... Wonder if it's got anything to do with direct injection too.... Hate seeing it in the mirror but oh well

phil545 · 12-12-2013, 11:46 PM

Yeah tbh i've never seen mine in the mirror. only ever seen when following one etc

hazrd · 13-12-2013, 12:58 AM

Yeah mines the same. Havent seen it, but cleaning all the black Crap off the back is getting annoying lol. Oh well

RACERED · 13-12-2013, 01:14 AM

Yeah same here.... When I update the exhaust I'll opt for less chrome around the exhaust tip area

martinijosh · 14-12-2013, 10:16 PM

Normal for turbo cars to blow some soot under load.

NanoDuke · 14-12-2013, 10:31 PM

Reminds me of a diesel VW Golf I saw yesterday trying to floor it from the traffic lights. Epic soot cloud.

Petrol ones (direct injection) do it as well. I've seen a 1/2 metre sized sphere coming from at least two Golf GTI's that have seen me looming in their mirror going around a corner, and decided to show me who was boss...

RACERED · 15-12-2013, 10:43 PM

Yeah I've seen it with some vw's before too...

**DJM83** · 28-12-2013, 10:35 AM

Anyone replaced a battery in the remote yet? My car has sometimes not unlocked when i try to get in, im guessing its battery but i thought it would (like the XR5T) come up with a low battery warning on the screen.

phil545 · 29-12-2013, 12:58 AM

With the car in general only being just over a year old i would expect the battery (if that is the case) to last longer (at least 3 years). I'd be hitting up Ford warranty on that mate

chrisorm · 29-12-2013, 04:48 PM

Nah, with these keyless entries the fob is always transmitting. 1-2 years is about right. My lancer was the same. But hopefully closer to 2 though, the lancer would show a warning on the dashboard to replace the key battery.

Of course hit up warranty if replacing the battery doesn't help.

Mind you, I notice that sometimes mine doesn't unlock if it's in the same pocket as my wallet - but only since I got a a few more of those pay pass style cards in there. I think they interfere.
