I'm surprised by the hp results, 20 more than manufacturers spec... At the wheels! Impressive.

 

Man that is some great numbers from 1.0L , very nice linear climb in power along with rpms, Ford hit this one out the park!! Thanks for taking the time to strap it down and post.

 

Hey dirtbag (hehe will always giggle replying to your screen name),

Are there any mods out there yet for this car? The HP is only 35 or so less than a stock Fiesta ST. The torque though is no where near a Fiesta ST. That one extra cyl does the trick! I'm wondering what it would take to get to the 180 HP range to equal an ST? Still couldn't compete without that torque, but would be nice to get into the 180 ballpark. Probably takes a lot though. What will your first mod be??
PS. I'm soooo darn close to getting a red 1.0 like yours!! Just can't see paying $600 dealer doc fees and so far they won't budge!! Argh!!!

I don't think the 1.0L will ever get to the ST performance levels and maintain the reliable and/or cost factor. The ST is so much more of a car all around. It'd be like chasing an uphill battle. At 180whp I'm almost certain would require a higher octane fuel and maybe a larger turbo, running that would only be realistic at the track. Driving around on $7.50/gal 100 octane fuel would be expensive. However, I may be able to squeeze more low end/midrange torque by throwing more boost at it. But up top you can see the tiny turbo is running out of breath above 5,000 rpms.

I hear ya on a new car purchase. It makes no financial sense on purchasing a new car. Throw in 1st year registration, sales tax, insurance, and depreciation it's a bit of a hit right away. You're better off waiting a couple years and pick up an ST or 1.0L Ecoboost second hand. My reason for buying this specific car was purely emotional. It's almost like a win for the Americas that we finally start getting a taste of what's offered overseas. I just hope the 1.0L is a success to a point where plenty of them are available to second hand purchasers for both performance enthusiasts and ecomodders. It's quite a fun car.

I'm waiting for SCT and Superchips to have something available. I need a way to tune the ECU before I start throwing bolt-ons at it. I'll update the thread under the performance section as I make mods.

 

Edmunds dynode an ST and recorded well over the factory rating.

 

Wow that's surprising! How much of the numbers do you think had to do with using 91?

How many miles were on the car?

 

I think Ford is doing us a favour by forcing us to buy the steel wheels.

Have you seen how crappy their painted alloys look after five years ?

Now go look at the steelies with wheel covers after five years.

The odd package is Ford's way of telling you that $995 is not enough to get you this engine.

 

Yea cost cutting measure I get it. But damn they are ugly haha!! I haven't paid attention to how bad their alloy wheels deteriorate. Is it bad? I was thinking of getting some SE Titanium wheels if I buy an ecoboost 1.0. Are they crap?

 

Its impressive how much power this little engine puts down. Can't wait to see how much power with 87 oct.

You should contact united motorsports for chip tuning. They are really good in making custom softwares. Ask them if they would be interested in tuning the 1.0L. They do wonders with VW and Audi.

 

The steelies with hub caps are probably there for the extra MPG they help eek out. Before the ecoboost when they had the SFE package I'm pretty sure it was the same wheel/hub cap combo.

 

I find the Fiesta line up to be very impressive. There is a trim level for every buyer in the small car market with these cars. I own an ST, but appreciate all trims. Those numbers are very impressive, BTW.

First post updated to show comparison of 87 & 91 Octane:

Impressive.

 

A lot of silence from the 91 octane promoters. (he says kicking the hornets nest )

 

Thanks Dirtbag for the new data!
