That Thing Got an EcoBoost?

[Livernois Motorsports]

I know that it isn't a SHO...BUT we have to SHOw some love to the baby muscle cars too! Not every car that upgrade get can have huge displacement or twin turbos...we just scooped up this sweet looking 2016 Focus ST! The dyno tuning session for this EcoBaby will be next week!
Until then...here she is


For such a small car it GOES! 366 ft lbs FROM A 4 CYLINDER!!!!!!

We have a pretty sweet lineup of mods that are going to be put on her:

MyCal Tuner-CHECK!
Windstorm CAI-Saturday
EvenFlo 160° Tstat-Saturday
Thunderstorm Downpipe-Saturday
H&R Lowering Springs-next weekend

We know that it's not going to run 10's or anything crazy, but we do more than just traditional muscle cars as well.

Holy torque!!!

Do those front wheels ever grab the road?!

 

[Livernois Motorsports]

NEVER!

Was there a new strategy for these on the '16's compared to the previous models?

Good job on that little mini-eco-rocket

There are completely new ECU's for the 2016's! SOOOO MUCH WORK!

I miss my ST! They are fantastically fun little cars!

I love these little cars.

They are a ton of fun! My ONLY complaint is that the shifting is kinda clunky...like SN95 Mustang clunky. I guess us Mustang guys expect poopy shifting so we just ignore it, but I was kinda surprised that the ST had the same shifting.

Really? I didn't think it was clunky at all but my previous cars weren't known for having excellent transmissions either.

After some more seat time I think it is more like a pop in and out of gears...it takes some getting used to.
