FocusCanada Forums

For all participants today, please email me the following:

- max hp
- max torque
- mods you've done

I want to compile a listing as an informal gauge. Between the folks that have dynoed their cars today, we probably have a good cross-section of what minor modding will get.

(Don't worry, we won't use your real name B) )

Again, thanks to everyone who came out. Thanks especially go to Diego, Murray, Joe, and the entire crew at DaSilva Racing.

I'll just post mine for the whole world to see ;)

Um those numbers are really low for the mods you have listed I think you should be in the 124whp range

The only good thing is I have max tq at 2500rpm :blink: :angry:

That is low my Focus made more power than that stock. Hmmmm you guys pulled in 4th right?

just IMHO, dynos should be used to compare before mods and after mods, and also to assure stuff like injector duty cycle and A/F are good and safe.

you guys shouldn't be getting hung up over peak power #s

Ignore the spike in the torque. They were having trouble picking up spark and when the tach cut out briefly the torque went up a little... :rolleyes:

Let's see if that works :) (You used the http thing instead of IMG)

Almost forgot this video it is 8.5 megs..

2002 ZTS Automatic w/ 155,000 km
- Ford Racing underdrive pulley
- K&amp;N drop-in air filter element

<a href='http://www3.sympatico.ca/richard.lee5/imgs4boards/dyno.jpg'></a>

On average:
- 100.56 hp @ 5,250 rpm
- 104.92 lb ft @ 4,700 rpm

From what I've read, that's about on-par. However, seeing how I've got that much miles on the car...dang! I really thought mileage would have reduced the numbers.

Out of everyone that dyno-ed, I was pretty much stock Zetec configuration. Still, if the numbers were underrated, then I may have been a bit higher by about a pony or two.

No wonder everyone has their own views of dynos :rolleyes:

nevermind
