"The Ford Focus MK4.5 ST is a hot hatch that already packs a punch. But for those seeking an even more exhilarating driving experience, we've developed a comprehensive performance tuning kit designed to take your ST to the next level. We understand the desire for enhanced power, sharper responsiveness, and a truly personalized driving feel. That's why we've poured countless hours of research and development into creating a kit that delivers tangible results."
Highlight Key Features and Benefits:
"Our tuning kit for the Ford Focus MK4.5 ST focuses on optimizing key areas of performance, including:"
● Increased Horsepower and Torque: "Experience a significant boost in power and torque. Our kit, through carefully calibrated ECU tuning and optimized airflow, unlocks hidden potential in the 2.3L EcoBoost engine. Expect noticeable improvements in acceleration and overall performance. Example: 'We've seen gains of up to 49 horsepower and 95lb-ft of torque on our dyno tests.' "
● Improved Throttle Response: "Say goodbye to lag. Our kit enhances throttle response, providing a more direct and engaging connection between your foot and the engine. This translates to quicker acceleration and a more dynamic driving experience."
● Enhanced Turbo Performance: "We've optimized turbo boost and wastegate control to improve spool-up time and maintain consistent power delivery throughout the RPM range. Enjoy a wider powerband and more usable torque."
● Refined Engine Calibration (ECU Tuning): "Our custom ECU tuning is the heart of our kit. We meticulously calibrate engine parameters to optimize performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability. We prioritize safe and reliable power gains.
Crucially, unlike many competitor kits, our tuning solution provides precise control over ignition timing. This is a critical factor in achieving optimal performance and maintaining engine health. Without proper ignition timing adjustment, simply increasing boost pressure can lead to excessively high exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), often exceeding 900°C. Many tuning solutions attempt to mitigate this by running overly rich fuel mixtures, which can negatively impact fuel efficiency and overall performance.
Our advanced calibration allows us to optimize ignition timing alongside boost and fuel, resulting in a significantly cooler and more efficient combustion process. Through precise ignition timing control, we've observed a 60°C reduction in EGTs and an impressive 22bhp increase in power compared to systems lacking this capability. This translates to a more powerful, responsive, and reliable engine, even under demanding driving conditions. We believe that true performance tuning requires comprehensive control, and our kit delivers exactly that.
Furthermore, our engine control solution is designed to be fully customizable. This means that when you install upgraded engine components, such as high-flow air filters, larger capacity intercoolers, performance exhaust systems, or enhanced intake crossover pipes, our tuning can be precisely recalibrated to maximize their benefits. We understand that enthusiasts often build their cars in stages, and our flexible tuning allows you to adapt your engine's performance to match your evolving modifications. This ensures that you're always getting the most out of your investment and achieving optimal synergy between all your performance upgrades.
And unlike competitor kits that offer multiple levels of the same tune, our engine tuning solution features five distinct, switchable tunes. These are not simply incremental power increases; they are five completely different engine calibrations, each designed for specific driving conditions or performance goals. This provides unparalleled flexibility and allows you to tailor your ST's performance to your exact needs.
Here's a breakdown of the five unique tunes:
1. Anti-Theft: "Combating the increasing challenge of vehicle theft, this tune effectively disables key engine functions, keeping your Ford safe and secure on your drive. This is a crucial feature for added peace of mind."
2. Standard: "Perfect for when you take your vehicle into a workshop for maintenance or fault finding. This tune returns the engine to its factory settings, ensuring compatibility with diagnostic tools and procedures."
3. Economy: "All remaps have the potential to improve fuel economy, but it often requires disciplined driving. Our completely unique economy tune does the hard work for you, optimizing engine parameters for maximum efficiency, even with less focused throttle control. Experience noticeable fuel savings without sacrificing drivability."
4. Medium Tune: "Ideal for everyday driving, this tune provides a balanced blend of performance and responsiveness. Enjoy a smoother, more enjoyable driving experience with enhanced power delivery."
5. Race: "Unleash the full potential of your ST with our race tune. This aggressive calibration features sharper throttle response and increased turbo boost pressure, delivering maximum power and performance for track days or spirited driving."
● Optional Upgrades: "Depending on the kit level, we offer optional upgrades such as downpipes, exhaust systems, and suspension enhancements to further personalize your ST and maximize its performance potential."
● Durability and Reliability: "We understand that reliability is paramount. Our tuning kit is designed to maintain the integrity of your engine and drivetrain, even under demanding driving conditions. We use high quality parts, and rigorous testing."
"Technical Details:
"Unlike previous generations of ECUs, the Ford Focus MK4.5 ST's engine control unit cannot be directly rewritten. Therefore, we've developed an advanced, alternative engine tuning solution that integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's existing systems.
Our tuning process is a multi-stage, data-driven approach, not a simple 'add 10% here' adjustment. We begin by optimizing throttle response, establishing a more direct and engaging connection between the driver and the engine. Next, we meticulously determine the safe and effective limits of boost pressure, carefully monitoring its impact on fuel and ignition timing. This stage is crucial for maximizing power while maintaining engine reliability.
Fuel tuning comes next, where we precisely calibrate fuel delivery to achieve optimal combustion efficiency and power output. Finally, we fine-tune the ignition timing, a critical step that sets our solution apart from competitors. This precise adjustment allows us to significantly reduce exhaust gas temperatures and unlock additional power.
This comprehensive tuning process has been carried out over several weeks on our in-house rolling road, equipped with a wide array of sensors, including temperature, pressure, and fuel mixture, in addition to the standard power and torque measurements. This allows us to gather precise data and make informed adjustments.
Once the initial tuning is complete, we conduct extensive road testing and further refine the calibration based on real-world driving conditions. This is followed by a final dyno tuning session to verify performance consistency and ensure all parameters remain within optimal ranges. This rigorous process guarantees a safe, reliable, and high-performance tuning solution for your Ford Focus MK4.5 ST."
Installation and Support:
"Our tuning kit is designed for straightforward, at-home installation, empowering you to take control of your ST's performance. We provide comprehensive, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process, ensuring a smooth and successful installation.
Please note that the installation requires the vehicle to be safely raised off the ground to allow the removal of the engine undertray. This is necessary to access one of the engine sensors required for the tuning module. We recommend using appropriate jack stands or a vehicle lift to ensure safe working conditions.
While our kit is designed for self-installation, we understand that some customers may prefer professional assistance. We offer expert technical support to answer any questions you may have, and we can also recommend qualified installers in your area if needed. If you choose to have your vehicle workshop install the kit, you can expect the simple plug-and-play installation to take between 30 and 60 minutes. This makes it a quick and convenient upgrade for your Focus MK4.5 ST.
