Probably the same deal as old 2.5T RS. K04 off, K16 on, up to 224kW 440Nm from 166/320.

Well by the time it comes out (if It gets by emissions laws) I hope to be making similar power

But serious that's ridiculous power for a factory FWD

[sinsin]

Well the way I see it is,
if you took the exact amount of money to buy a brand new rs
and spent it on an mps... Would the rs compete? :P

^^ Ahahahah!!!! I like your thinking!! =]

[mymps11]

Theres no doubt u could get an mps as competent, i was just curious if its going to be the disi engine they will use. Because if it is this will.open up a whole new world.of parts both in aus but mainly from the uk
And that will be good news, atm the us is our main option

The one big problem is that it is a Ford, and a small one at that.

Anyone wanna explain how much better these "Revoknuckles" (however you spell it) really are? and the differences between them and out setup?

MPS>everything>Camry>focus

[rogwick]

Damn, that's a lot of juice for a focus. Interesting, did I read they want to put the same engine in a Mustang?

Revoknuckle is a modified mcpherson strut (which our and most cars have - 6 MPS doesn't)
Its a differnt king pin offset that gives a lower scrub radius - scrub radius is the distance between the king pin and the center of the tyres where it meets the road
Scrub radius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Revoknuckle" is also a Ford marketing name for something Renault had been doing for years but didn't feel the need to act like they reinvented the wheel

Will be good, my mate has ~410 hp and ~700nm from his 2012 RS with just Bolt on's and tune... It's pretty mental but pointless in the twistys you'd need to be one hell of a driver to use it all

[GibbA]

700nm? Shoot!! What Turbo do they come with stock? (Compared to Ko4?)

That must have the shittiest torque curve to hit 700nm and only hit 300kw (400hp)

Struggle to believe you can double the torque on stock turbo...

My mate has a yaris that makes 900hp and 1100nm and all he has is a eBay flash chip!!

[GibbA]

:-) I saw those chips the other day. The yaris one must be pretty damn good, the MPS one only get an "instant" 85hp gain haha. Only $10! Hahahaha

But wait theres more, includes free ZZB

[Bakis]

Well 700nm on a Roller dyno but i know that isn't a accurate measurement of torque...

But while it was on the dyno stock it did make 175fwkw and 390nm, after his mods the sheet read something like 238fwkw and 680nm...

I hate when people say you cant use all that power in the bends in a FWD, i always reply with can u use a 500hp rwd in a 30kph corner? YOU CANT! Its call measuring out the power
