no one no's anything about it, is it even worth buying

ROADWARS · 11-07-2010, 03:54 PM

not hard to fit if you buy proper kit with the necessary blank for fuel rail and fittings etc

but alot of mixed views on these i have read many a comment on them some good some bad each to their own i have had a few cars with these on and not had any problems hope this sort of helps

sykes2009 · 11-07-2010, 04:05 PM

yeah cheers mate, all im trying to do is get the acceloration up a bit, i will have do some more serching on this

Focus Si · 11-07-2010, 06:50 PM

Did you end buying one in the end mate?, i be interested to see what you think of it and how it performs and if it easy to fit etc etc

sykes2009 · 11-07-2010, 07:09 PM

no i havent bought it just yet mate im wanting to find some more info about it

Focus Si · 11-07-2010, 07:11 PM

yeah me to, i have heard many mxed reviews, but i have heard if you get it set up right and running right it is spot on

TomEbbs · 11-07-2010, 09:30 PM

Countless people have had these fitted and seen no results pre and post dyno....

Not really worth the money... IMO

You would most probably get more BHP from a "good service"

jammerrs · 12-07-2010, 08:46 AM

what mods have you done already?

might be worth doing some more tried and tested mods first eg, induction kit and exhaust after a good service to make sure everythng is good

how i understand the mixed reveiws, it seems to be big power turbo cars dont gain much but little hatchs do....maybe im wrong but thats the way it appears to me

sykes2009 · 12-07-2010, 05:41 PM

there isnt really any mods to the engine just a miltek cat-back i want the manifold and sport cat but pumaspeed said they only have a few left and they arnt making anymore dont no if its true but if it is then im stumped as id need about £700 sharpish, if i was to buy the power boost valve i would get a prefesional to fit it and set it up, im not trying to gain big bhp just quicker acceloration, induction kit is going on soon, i looked at a remap but im only going to gain around 8hp for £250 didnt think it was worth it i would if i did everything else, just need to decide about the boost valve if its no good i would rather use the £100 else where

sykes2009 · 12-07-2010, 05:43 PM

oh and a good service is without a dout going to be done

Focus Si · 12-07-2010, 09:26 PM

Have you changed your cams and pullys? for a few extra bhp?

sykes2009 · 13-07-2010, 10:42 AM

no i havent changed cams or owt i dont no how deep to go with the engine
with it only been a 1.6 i would of thought a lot of cash would have to be spent to get some real power and in that case id rather save the money and get a st, but theres around 4 years before i want to sell the car so it will do me just to make the acceloration quicker but without spending loads

Joshy · 13-07-2010, 10:48 AM

cam's aint to deep in the engine..

and a remap does a lot more than just give you an 8bhp increase in outright power,
its picks up better, increases ecconamy, and helps power all through the rev range.

i would go for the remap myself.

by the time you got a garage to fit and set it up, it would cost about the same as a remap anyway...

sykes2009 · 13-07-2010, 11:07 AM

true is that mate

Joshy · 13-07-2010, 11:11 AM

yep, look into it though as i dont have expirience with the 1.6 focus engine.. zetec SE?

Sp3no · 13-07-2010, 01:01 PM

Dont waste your money on a power boost valve, there is no need to add more fuel to your engine. If you want to improve acceleration, strip the car out or get a lightened flywheel. The 1.6 is a horribly restrctive engine, the MOST cost effective thing is to do an engine change or buy a faster car
