Top Speed Focus get’s a little more power!
We decided to turn the boost up a little on a long term project here at Top Speed. You may recall the previous blog entry about Jared’s Focus back in June where I stated that the car made 274whp on a stock ZETEC engine, well lets just say that we just blew that number out of the water.
We have always wondered how much harder we should push this motor, and finally got to the point where we decided the heck with it and do what we do best, boost the heck out of it. Jared has been driving this car for more than a year on what some people would call a ‘timebomb,’ however anyone that has ever ridden with him would agree the car felt like it just wanted more.
The results speak for themselves:
18 & 19psi – 93 Octane
As you can see, we had a little issue with the clutch, we are not sure why it desided to start slipping, but we do know it is! The car made 340whp and 338 wtq at 19psi on what is a completely stock internal production ZETEC engine. This is for sure one of the highest horsepower, if not the highest, documented stock internal ZETEC engine.
