Nice and stealthy, good job. Looking forward to seeing how well it's hidden.

1.2Clio / 182!!
I'm very impressed!! Like it a lot!!!
My mates 9-3 Aero was running around 280 (roughly, can't remember exact figure) by the time he sold it, had three maps for it which were locked to the ecu from Saab after market people (don't know the name of them). He said that although the top map was bloody quick it was a little too much for the car and took the feel away from it a bit... 250 map was the one he sat with most of the time, for a big car like the 9-3 it bloody flew!!

Its 100% invisible! I'll get a pic tomorrow.
Its being mapped next Monday, then I need to get it back on the rollers to see what increase it's had. I'm expecting it to make 280+ bhp and 330lb-ft but time will tell. The Airbox and exhaust will be my bottlenecks I think.

Nice project. Cant beat a swedish wagon for a laugh. I've currently a V70 2.5 turbo with awd box and its funny leaving type R's etc behind while the Jack Russell licks the back window.
I think the exhaust manifold gets abit restrictive north of 280. An S60/V70r cast manifold gets over that though as they churn out 300hp standard and flow much better.

Hmm, that's the first i've heard of the manifold being an issue. They seem to be good for 300 - 330 max on the standard turbo from what i've read on ST and Volvo forums, anything above that requires either the K16 from a Focus RS or some sort of hybrid.
I'll take a look into it though!

Well, it's had it's map. It's got Shark Performances Stage 3 map on it now - which is good for 310bhp and 370lb-ft with the right mods. As i'm still running the std airbox and exhaust system (to keep the stealthiness) i'm not expecting it to be near those numbers but 280-290 and 340lb-ft i would be happy to see.
It's not been on the rollers yet, but I can tell you one thing - it is MENTAL! I actually think it wants to kill me. Any speed, in any gear it wants to go. 205 tyres really don't help with traction, so something needs to be done there. The way it gains pace is not what I was expecting, yes I expected it to be quick, just not this quick It certainly feels 30-40% more powerful which would tie in with the numbers above.
I'll let you know when i've had it on the rollers, let you know how well it does!

I love this sort of progress thread! Been looking at one of these for a while
Get your camera out and film us a vid.

I'll film it on the rollers, but pretty pointless as you won't hear anything over the fans!

About 4pm, depends when I get out of work! Why?

Just wondered, that's all. I'm interested to see what it makes.
My mate has just bought a 330bhp ST and the torque it produces is crazy.

Ahh right, thought you may have been local and were goign to pop in (then realised you're in the SW!)
Do you know what mods the ST has had for 330bhp? and do you know how much torque it's producing? I'll be happy if mine makes more than std RS torque (325lb-ft) It certainly feels like a torque monster.
Are the fans that loud or is your car that quiet?

Sadly I don't. Its had a LOT though. Its this one -

This is the same roller, fan is pretty noisy and my car is loud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzulMEjt7zQ
I might swing by, if that's alright!

A bit of both - lol
It's running a std exhaust apart from downpipe and decat.
Aye, be my guest. I should be there by 4pm.
Like this car, alot! Looks standard from the outside but puts out good power!
Sure Chris will be along soon with the figures!

It had so much power it broke lose of the rollers and went through the garage wall.

So, not disappointed with the results however it shows just how restrictive the std intake and exhaust are!
figures were 277bhp and 325lb-ft torque so just under what I predicted. It is running fairly rich at 11:1 so I'm hoping with some breathing mods and something done with the exhaust it'll make even more but we'll see. I've also got a very slight boost leak which doesn't help!
the guys @ dyno tech were impressed as it's making more power than a lot of the FRS that they run apparently! lol

Love a project like this - great fun for when people don't know whats under the bonnet.
Heres a little spec list off my previous Focus ST which ran 352bhp and 435Ib/ft, maybe of some use if you wanting to get even more:
- K06 Dreamscience hybrid turbo & manifold
- Forge actuator
- Forge recirc DV
- Dreamscience Turbo X remap
- Dreamscience induction kit
- Airtec gen 3 intercooler
- Airtec plenum
- Focus RS injectors
- Focus RS oil cooler
- Pro Alloy cold pipe
- Magnex downpipe (3")
- Dreamscience decat (3")
- Piper catback (3")
Got to say was pretty mental through the midrange with the torque that was available from low down:

Did you film it on the rollers?
I was really looking forward to hearing the fans kick in y0!

no, I didn't see the point in filming a noisy fan for 5 minutes!
