    With the mechanical work wrapped up in the shop by John, Matt strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via COBB Tuning Accessport V3. With 93 octane in the tank, and the stock turbocharger producing ~24psi, Vlad increased the output to a solid 346.07whp & 417.74lbft!

    2016 Ford Focus RS – 446HP

    David’s Nitrous Blue 2016 Ford Focus RS is back in the shop to have the EcoBoost taken to the next level! The target? Mid-400awhp on pump gas.

    When this RS first came to us, it was completely stock, and for the first round of work we installed a COBB Tuning carbon fiber intake system, Mountune front-mount intercooler & piping, Stainless Works down-pipe, Mountune exhaust system, COBB Tuning rear engine mount, all brought together with a custom calibration by Vlad via COBB Tuning’s Accessport. While that held David over for a while, soon enough he got that familiar itch for more, and brought his Focus RS back in for the next step!

    This round, John installed a set of ARP cylinder head studs, Mountune MRX turbocharger upgrade featuring a BorgWarner Performance Aftermarket EFR 7163 with matching Mountune down-pipe, Mountune V3 camshaft set and matching valvetrain, Radium Engineering dual catch cans, and all the miscellaneous OEM Ford gaskets & seals needed to bring it all together.

    With the mechanical work wrapped in the shop, Matt strapped her down to the rollers for Vlad to perform a custom calibration via COBB Tuning’s Accessport. With the EFR 7163 delivering 22psi on 93 octane, Vlad was able to increase the 2.3L EcoBoost’s output to 446.66awhp & 441.64lbft! With an additional 107awhp & 42lbft gained over his last visit, David’s itch for more performance has been scratched… for now.

  • 2017 Ford Focus RS – DSC Sport Coilovers

    2017 Ford Focus RS – DSC Sport Coilovers

    Superb handling is one of the many things the latest generation Focus RS is known for the world over. But for guys like Mike — who owns this beautiful Stealth Gray 2017 Ford Focus RS — superb isn’t quite surgical, and that’s what Archer is addressing by installing this amazing Tractive suspension system from DSC Sport!

    Unlike other suspension systems on the market, these coilovers do not eliminate the factory electronic damper control — but instead, the Tractive suspension system upgrades the hardware, and also retains the factory electronic controls for the best of both worlds. The result is an astronomic improvement in both ride comfort & handling. Perfect suspension solution for the tracked street car!
