| Thanks guys. The Focus ST is a 2.5 petrol turbo. I have mailed Performance chiptuning for prices. Have a couple of mods and standing at 225kw and 457NM at the fly. Need the meth injection for our crappy feul we have. Will keep you guys updated about installation and some pics.

I am also new on this forum. My requirements are different to yours as I have a 2.5 turbocharged and intercooled diesel. Please keep us informed on prices etc. Unfortunately both Durbs and PE are a bit out of the mainstream here, but there is such a thing as the post office. I am in Joburg.

Yes the FORD Focus ST does have a map sensor installed. I am in Cape Town also a bit way off, but still await a reply and pricing, as we have had a couple of public holidays, so should hear from them on Monday. What would expected gains be, or will it just help when over boosting not to pull back on timing.

You can expect gains around 20% to 30% which is the average for diesels you can gain more depending on nozzle size and mix. Of course you will gain more if your increase boost and timing. But we get a easy 20% on morst 4cly turbo diesels with no changes some have gained up to 50 to 60% between 1500-2500 rpms. Varies vehicle to vehicle. |

| Firstly I apologise for starting a 'thread within a thread'. The Rover is an old-fashioned design using a non-computerised Bosch VE pump (as was used in some Dodge trucks in the states). Does not rev high at all about 3500 is max useful rpm. Max boost is 15psi (1.05bar). I have an EGT computer with a switchable programmable output, for an alarm at the moment. I have been thinking of using, say, 500c to switch water injection - it will go to 725c before the alarm goes off. This high temp is only reached on long, steepish hills. Or, if I switched it by boost, what pressure would you recommend? Also, it is a long way from the turbo to the intercooler and from there to the engine. Where should the injector go? For if I accelerate and the pump switches at, say, .9bar, then by the time the water hits the cylinders I will have backed off to change gear...

It actually gets there pretty instantly the 4cly turbo diesel kit will work well with that vehicle. You can use r DO3 nozzle. You will activate at around 4psi or .27 bar. Or close to 1500rpms this will give you big hp and torque gains to your redline. You can mount it just prior to the intake or go pre-turbo with it. It's all up to you. Either way you will have good power increases and beter acceleration and you will have significantly lower EGT's Not the best place for a intake, Right over the turbo, That thing much get heat soaked pretty good. A intercooler will not help with that, Like I said your going to get a major bump in power do to the bad set up on that vehicle. ![]() |
