Description
Due to working on the Ford Mustang since 2015 the MAXD-OUT team have plenty of experience with the 2.3 Ecoboost engine now found in the Mk3 Focus RS. They have developed a range of maps that start from 40bhp/80nm power upgrade to a massive +70bhp and a huge 670nm of torque!
We all agree that the new Focus RS is a spectacular car but does lack the real RS feel and needs a little something else to enhance the drivabilty in our opinion.
This MAXD Stage 1 remap will deliver a safe power hike of 25- 30bhp and 80-100nm of torque. The drivabilty has massively improved and a genuine lift in the power and torque curves delivers a REAL RS feel.
Is the MAXD OUT mapping warranty safe?
The MAXD OUT remapping box will save the original Ford ECU tune, this tune can be reinstalled at any time and the vehicle taken back to the Ford dealership for any warranty and service action to be undertaken without issue. The MAXD OUT tune file can then be reinstalled.
Will it stress the Engine?
The remap is very mild and does not lift the boost to higher levels and does not run huge amounts of ignition advance, its a very conservative level of calibration that lifts power to a perfect level.
What are the Launch Control Options?
The stock 5000 revs launch control is activated by pressing one button then entering a menu and making 3 or 4 selections to activate. It’s a pretty awkward process and if you were to be caught out fiddling with the buttons at the traffic lights it would be a tad embarrassing.
MAXD-OUT can change the operation of the Launch setting so the Stock Launch operated by the buttons selection remains at 5000 revs but also install a default and permanent Launch setting that works without having to push a series of buttons. In other words the car will always be ready to launch. All you need to do is push the starter button, floor the throttle and the car will respond with the launch limit of 4000, 4500, or 5000 revs.
(This does mean that you cant bounce it off the limiter whilst stood still, which isn’t a bad thing)
