A tasty piece of Old Skool YB Cosworth 2.0litres. This Saff was just in for a little more boost, though on the laggier side, still went like stink on the road

It could benefit with the smaller with housing on the GT30 turbo though, still we went ahead with the tune just to lay down a basemap to worth from for future.

This one will be back.

This time around it was off to Jersey for an organised Tuning Session at a Dyno in Jersey to setup a professional rally car for its owner to compete in a Hill Climb Series

Accept this was no ordinary Ford Puma. Shoehorned in was a Ford Sierra Cosworth Engine. Tuning commenced initially without its restrictor and then with, as with this particular race series Engine power had to be kept to a minimum.

This was fully equipped with a Sequential Shift Gearbox for minimum gear change times and all is powered by an old skool Motec Engine Management System

Tuning the Ford Fiesta ST – Supercharged Pocket Rocket

Every now and then, a project comes along that’s just a little different from our usual Japanese turbo icons. This time, it was a trip up to Hypertech in Scotland to dyno tune a Ford Fiesta ST that had been given the supercharged treatment.

The Setup

This car retains its factory engine, but thanks to a well-executed supercharger conversion and supporting upgrades, it’s far from your standard hot hatch. Compact, light, and already sharp-handling, the addition of boost transforms the Fiesta into a true pocket rocket.

On the Dyno

Strapped down at Hypertech, the Fiesta came alive as we refined the mapping to get the most out of the setup while keeping reliability in check. The supercharger delivers instant throttle response and a surge of power that perfectly suits the car’s playful chassis.

The Result

The end result is a Fiesta ST that feels every bit at home tearing up Scotland’s twisty country lanes as it does blasting down a straight. With its lightweight frame, boosted punch, and stock engine still holding strong, this little hatch proves you don’t need big displacement to have big fun.

At FC Tuning, we love working on all kinds of builds – from JDM legends to hot hatch heroes – bringing out the best in every setup.

TUNING THE FORD ZETEC (ST)

A sleeper. This nice Ford Fiesta ST sports a larger GT series turbo shoehorned into a tight space and runs an aftermarket engine management along side an OMEX 600 controlling fuel and ignition.

Superb response and power from this 1.8T boosted engine.

The engine was just running in so a remap for high boost will come later.

Cosworth.
A big company that made statement after statement with their performance engines of the 80s. Not many of these nice Sierra Cosworths left nowadays. Especially in this condition. We well sorted Sierra 3 Door Bosworth sporting an OMEX 600 ECU which needed to be fully setup from scratch. Great power too
