Forf Focus ST225 and Sitech Inlet

So today we have fitted a Sitech Racing inlet to a modified ST225 2007. Again shows very good numbers.

The car was fitted with FRS fuel injectors, hybrid turbo, aftermarket cooler and exhaust.

The car was put on the rollers and recorded an average of 318bhp then we fitted the Sitech inlet did some running and retested, the average power of the car was now 352bhp, thats a 34bhp increase.

On the road the customer reported a smoother power delivary with more top end pull.

New Evolution 2 Inlet manifold

We have just recieved the Evo2 version of the Sitech Racing inlet manifold.

Features on the Evo2 version include a repositioned servo boss, that enables an easy fit on the Focus ST225. Also we have an improved surface finish on the casting.

The new rrp on this is £548.94 plus vat for a bare ali finish or powder coated white or black is £40 option.

Standard Focus RS with Sitech Racing Inlet manifold

So we have finally fitted a Sitech Racing cast inlet to a standard Focus RS.

The car was a completely standard 1500mile example.

The RS was put on our rolling road first of all, where it produced 288bhp slightly down on the book power. We then fitted the Sitech Racing inlet and re-tested. The end results showed a gain of 12bhp, but the power delivery was much improved with the gain in power from 4000rpm right upto the rev limit, with a far less pronounced power drop off at 4500rpm.

New stock of Sitech Racing inlets

I am pleased to say that the next batch of inlets are now in and awaiting despatch.

We are currently undergoing a forged engine build on the company demo car, in order to push the development of this vehicle farther.

It spec list includes a GT35 turbo to run alongside the Haltech managment that it currently sports. Also a nice set of AP brakes and a new Helix clutch assy.

Focus RS and ST inlet manifold details

The price of the inlets have now been finalised at £695 inc vat.

Thare are also powder coating colour option available, black, white, ect.

Inlet manifold dyno graph

So here is a graph from a customers car from an independent dyno.

Car is a Focus RS running a JS400 kit and a Sitech Racing inlet.

The graph displays power at the wheels.

More impressive gains

So today we have fitted another Sitech racing inlet manifold to a customers JS400 equipped car and again have seen an increase of 44bhp and 30 ft/lbs of torque.

I must remember my camera next time.

Focus RS inlet manifold results

So having done some direct back to back testing of the standard Focus RS inlet manifold and the Sitech Racing inlet manifold, I am pleased to say that on 2 cars running a JS400 tune we saw a 46bhp increase.

Standard manifold 397bhp
Sitech Racing manifold 443bhp

Focus RS cast inlet manifolds are go

The pictures shows a development item. ie. finish is incomplete.

Over the last 4 months Sitech Racing has been developing a cast aliminum inlet manifold.

The manifolds are produced here in Scotland (none of your China stuff).

So a summary of the inlet - CFD designed with a 15% increase in volume to aid cylinder filling, a tapering design to aid air speed towards the 5th cylinder, the inlet will not explode like the standard plastic ones, the inlet is a direct bolt on with no modifacation required and comes with all fittings.

Knockhill with the Focus RS

Just a note for all those people with a Focus RS considering a tune or anyone who fancys a FRS.

Sitech Racing will be attending the track day at Knockhill on Sunday 18th July and is happy to take anyone round the track in the passenger seat of the JS400 tuned FRS, might even switch the nos on. Just ask me (Simon Smail) on the day.

Sitech Racing Focus RS Inlet manifold

Here are the first pics of the Focus RS inlet manifold currently been cast. Machine shop next.

The manifolds are a direct replacement for the plastic standard manifolds. Bolt on with no modification. They have been designed with increased capacity and flow characteristics (CFD) to aid efficiency.

Fiesta ST150 supercharger conversion

Just finished a JS stage 2.5 supercharger conversion.

M-Tech automotives V4 managment

V4 ECU

This is a quick note to discribe the sucess of M-techs V4 managment.

It is a base level entry into stand alone managment.

Sitech Racing some weeks ago had a customers Clio rallycross car in for setting up and mapping on V4. That car then went on to win the next round of the MSA supermodified class at Knockhill.

Sitech Racing's Ford Focus RS at Kames

Focus RS demo car has new compomotive CXT fitted

Here are a few pics of the FRSmk2 with new Compomotive CXTs and Toyo R888s

Ford Focus RS has been converted JS400

Last week saw the Focus RS been converted to JS400 spec.

This included the fitment of a Mongoose turbo back exhaust system, an Airtec intercooler, a Pipercross airfilter, a set of 660cc injectors and a JS400 ECU upgrade carried out at Sitech Racing, Blair Atholl.

Bellow is a picture of our BDM ECU upgrade tool.

The results of the conversion are incredible, not only is it stellar fast it now returns over 35mpg!!

The Focus RS did a whole day at Knockhill on Saturday (pics to follow).

It then did a day on the Kames circuit on Sunday.

Then down to Santa Pod on Wednesday to compete in a Redline mag test day, on a handling circuit and quarter mile.

The car has now covered over 5k miles never missing a beat.

Focus RS tuning JS400

So here we have the first Focus RS fitted with a JS400 conversion, we have fitted larger injectors, JS400 map to a car already modified by the customer with a 3inch turbo back exhaust, pipercross filter and Airtech intercooler.

The car started first crank and drove away like standard. On the open road, 2 words "smooth and fast" Cant wait to get my one done now (just been too busy).

Focus RS and Focus ST parts in development

Sitech Racing currently has a cast aluminium inlet/plenum chamber in development. The unit has been designed to be a complete bolt on replacement for the plastic plenum chamber.

The volume and chamber shape has been calculated on ANSYS fluid dynamics to deliver the most equal volume of air to each runner.

Also, Sitech Racing is developing an adjustable "blade type" rear anti bar assembly. This product is currently is on the drawing board.

Focus RS servicing - Ford warranty approved

Sitech Racing now has the capacity to carry out Ford warranty approved servicing.

This means that we can service your Ford RS or ST with genuine parts and put an approved service stamp in your service book.
