Default The Making of ORSMT5

i bought the car new in may '06, electric orange with cloth interior & got plenty of attention from people wanting to know how it went.

left it stock for nearly 11mths then the changes started, first to go in was a set of black angel eye headlight units & some Eibach pro coil springs, the springs dropped it down 30mm
a before & after comparison

angel eyes at night

i then gave the calipers a lick of paint

i wasn't keen on the orange showing through the grille so i removed the grille & painted behind it matt black

now looks much better

it stayed like this for a while until today (13/10) when i got a flash tune thanks to chris at Blue power, stock @ flywheel is 166kw & 320nm, the tune is ment to take it to 201kw & 448nm. the car is way different to drive, heaps more low down acceleration. after having the tune installed i went straight to glenroy exhaust & had the resonator replaced with some pipe to get a nice note.

more to come when funds permit

Very nice, very nice...

I reckon DNKPWR would be feeling jealous that you've got a tune and he doesn't...!

Hey mate congrats with the car...

If l am reading this right did you get the Tune then got the exhuast changed.....if so you better go back and get a re-tune as that change will stuff up the air-fuel ratio and may cause detonation and thats not good.....

Cheers Chris

i checked with the uk suppliers, dreamscience......

G'day Jared, i have race+ installed on my focus & was wondering if using it with a de-resed exhaust will adversly affect the afr, make it run too lean causing detonation. is the afr now a fixed number, like 8 for instance or does it still have a range to work in, like 7 - 10.
thanks Ron

the reply......

Hi Ron the AFR has a targeted lambda of 12 to 1 afr on the ST225 using Race+. This is calculated in fuel weight terms on this vehicle from both a MAF and MAP system so changing the exhaust shouldn’t make a noticeable difference to the fuelling, if you can get more air in and out, you will get more fuel in and out, hence more power. Good luck J

All the best

i've nearly finished, but the next step hasn't started. i think you might be expecting too much though, it will be different at the front & back but not hugely

I've very interested to see what happens to the surrounds and the grilles. I assume the rear surrounds are also getting some kind of treatment.
