get a sunat ...u gonna feel some improvement..but more louder air been sucked.

do remember for TDCi ..stock 130HP is on wheel...not at crank..

On wheel???

Wow... I always thought this car got very lembik HP wan... never knew the HP on spec sheet is on wheel not crank.

How to sunat arr? I live so far from most other FOCM members... didn't know anyone here who can help sunat my car.

this car seem very lembik due to nature of diesel engine due to low rev engine. it kind of less responsive compare to normal petrol engine.

on the firrst few day getting a TDCi , I felt kind of frustrated but now

Sunat is very simple. But I recommend u to change the air filter to K&N first. Stock AF cannot tahan to suction power after sunat.

The 1.0 has around 120 hp and is a 3 cylinder.

so how many torque you able to achieve?

sorry. No time to dyno

I can hit 210km/h, no issue. Only mod to date is sunat and K&N drop in. With a little bit more road, can probably hit 220km/h.

This car is not "lembik" at all. Not sure why gahpadu mention it is lembik. A few weeks ago, met a Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo, whack the fella kaw kaw. Did the drag test twice, and twice he lost. It was a short distance drag with traffic light in between. Not sure if the fella mod anything, but i did hear it's blow off valve.

I switched from GT4 to TDCi.. migrated from FI petrol to FI diesel a kind of culture shock to me . As I mentioned , low rew diesel engine gave me a kinds of lembik feeling for the first few days driving a TDCi .

I think you have the same issue as most of us when switching over from petrol to diesel. Flooring the pedal does not give you that oomph that petrol car has, because inherently TDCi torque band is around 2k rpm. Try stepping the pedal at 25% instead of flooring it completely. The torque kick in is quite fun. I do 25%, 50% and 75%, trying to keep my rpm at the optimum torque range.

Diesel engine does not have the inherent high revving feature a petrol head has. Anyway, torque aside the car is a mileage monster. One tank can go at least 700km, and you can still speed like a speedy gonzales.

Wow... 220km/h maybe later. I don't have balls for such speed. Though 200km/h is just like 140km/h in a Gen.2.

No shaking or any feeling like I'm risking my life for speed. Very stable. Almost like my friend BMW 325i.

That's (200km/h) the maximum I've ever tried.

At least with a FD2R and RX-8 this Focus TDCi can follow them aggressively (tried it with against a manual RX-8 yesterday) on a flat road (stock no mod.. not even sunat yet). And when it comes to slope / hill Focus TDCi totally owned both FD2R and RX-8.

Not sure if the driver of the FD2R was not pushing his car to the maximum but the RX-8 is (he came asking me about the car). Though I attribute the ability to taking over his car mainly due to the difference of torque between both cars. I might have a hard time if doing it on a flat road.

LOL... where else can get a car that can:

- Chase FD2R and RX-8 which both cars cannot outrun..
- Overtake both on a slight slope..
- Maintaining 200km/h with such stability and ease..

All while maintaining only 5.9l/100km.

Dammmmm awesome...

TDCi is king of hills.

mostly we can win any battle up to 160-180 only...after that I just let them overtake me

too bad TDCI is no more.... they are no news for new Focus TDCI....

wait for 2015 after government promise to introduce Euro 4/5 diesel after 2014.

or else ..just buy current model

I wonder if it will really come or not... Malaysia always slower than the world one. Slow till it may actually come true becoz after 2015 come the petrol company here will still said they have not enough time, no money.... bla bla bla then delay another 2 years.

hi guys, anyone have info bout discount for sports TDCi?really interested in this car
btw, isit possible to trade in car which bought not even 1 year period yet (used car) coz i do remember jpj wont allow to change car ownership within the same year.. i'm satisfied with my dream car oledi..

Go Sime Darby Auto Connexion PJ... ask them around.



Probably got one or two units left.

Awesome car.

Just got the car 'sunat' last Thursday... damn can keep up with Mini Cooper S. I can't imagine how the performance will be after K&N, Mountune Airbox and remap. All mods below RM 4,000 total. Probably can go on par with Golf GTi??

Golf GTi?

Golf TSi? yes with those things had done.( exhaust mod is a must!!!)

For me..I would go to sunat , K&N, Mountune , Exhaust , Upgrading braking and lastly on remap..

Stock brake not enough to hold the horses

turbo diesel always has its limitation as it has lower "max rpm".. Ford TDCi max at 6000rpm and redline at 4000rpm..
dont think its 138hp can go against Golf GTi's 210hp.. dont think it can keep up with Golf Tsi also for century sprint.. (6 speed powrshift vs 7 speed DSG)

but its a great car emphasizing on fuel economy without sacrificing comfort and performance... 300Nm torque is great fun..

LOL.. I meant TSI..

Can keep up with TSi already makes me feel satisfied hahahaa...

I've tried a FD2 and Camry... I felt like this car is much more comfortable in high speed. 150 - 160km/h felt like doing 110km/h only. Camry and FD2 doesn't have this kind of feeling. Maybe this is what they meant by 'continental feeling'?

it'll probably keep up in a quarter mile run, after that, it's bye bye ford. and u can't compare jap car's high speed stability to conti cars. Jap cars are all limited to 180kmph (whether or not they have this speed limiter on). European cars have the autobahn, american cars have those interstates, they were designed to handle high speeds.
