 | | | Ford RS specialist Graham Goode Racing has created the ‘RS 340’ engine tuning package for the new Mk2 Ford Focus RS.
Requiring no additional mechanical modifications, GGR’s RS 340
performance upgrade is purely an engine management conversion,
developed by ECU expert Superchips.
Consisting of an ECU upgrade using the Superchips platform, the
conversion requires firmware modifications and software reprogramming,
the latter using the renowned Superchips Bluefin hand-held unit.
Bluefin enables customers to store their standard ECU map for future
use and also enables GGR to conduct further ECU remapping if additional
mechanical modifications are carried out on the Focus RS at a later
date.
Careful recalibration of the already potent 300bhp 2.5-litre Duratec
turbo powerplant’s engine management by Superchips has delivered
significant performance improvements from the Focus RS and now GGR, as
a leading Superchips dealer, is in a position to offer this package to
the Ford enthusiast market.
Post upgrade, the Mk2 Focus RS produces power gains from just 2750rpm,
with total output rising to a scintillating 340bhp at 5600rpm. Maximum
available torque reaches a peak output of 397lb.ft at 3100rpm,
highlighting the flexibility of GGR’s RS 340 performance package.
For total peace of mind, GGR’s RS 340 performance upgrade is covered by
Superchip’s comprehensive 12 month / 30,000 mile breakdown warranty.
Priced at £435.00 including VAT @ 15pc, the GGR Mk2 Ford Focus RS 340
performance upgrade is available now from Graham Goode Racing Ltd.
A demonstrator Mk2 Focus RS, featuring the GGR RS 340 package and
further exciting performance enhancements, will shortly be available
for press testing.
Additional levels of power upgrades are currently under development by
GGR, incorporating mechanical modifications as well as bespoke engine
management system calibration to suit. |
