withaplomb Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Anyone seen this? http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/Fiesta/S1600 Looks like Ford are releasing a new S1600 with an extra 14bhp, no mention of price though. Anyone know what they've modified from the standard 1.6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanhead Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Someone made a thread about this back in Jan. http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17992 No idea how they've got an extra 14bhp but I imagine they've done something similar to the Mountune kit. It mentions "twin chrome exhaust pipes" so I reckon it'll just be a cat-back and a remap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyedge Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Surely this is what the S1600 should have been in the first place with extra power over the standard Ti-VCT Makes the first S1600 editions look like a half-arsed effort. Sure glad I didn't buy one of these now. Still not showing in the configurator though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewL Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 It's still a pretty poor effort... wow, an extra 14bhp. Weird spin off semi upgrades like this makes me think that there won't ever be a fiesta ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCJ Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 im still glad i got the original version... if they had made it 150-170 bhp, then i would be pretty !Removed! off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus_ST-3 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I dont understand why this has been released when the Mountune upgrades are available. adzmcp, do you have any info on the exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyedge Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 im still glad i got the original version... if they had made it 150-170 bhp, then i would be pretty !Removed! off Ah, but surely they are saving that for the ST/RS? Sorry, actually like the S1600, but Ford should have made the S1600 with extra power from the start. Then again, what do I know, I went for the (underpowered) TDCi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, what do I know, I went for the (underpowered) TDCi i will admit i agree it should have more power, but im will mountune mine, the aim is before simply ford, but we'll see. I plan on going for a focus ST next, so dont bother me about the fez ST if they make one, but that seems unlikely! The day ford bring out a 200bhp Fiesta, i might decide to stick with fiesta!

Mark M.K Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm a tad confused by the quoted 0-60 of the new S1600. How can 14 BHP extra knock almost 2 seconds off the standard 1.6 engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Higher rev limiter (what is it on the zs anyway?) perhaps? Isn't that how mountune knock 2 seconds off by letting you hit 60 in 2nd? That said I'm sure I've done 60 in 2nd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withaplomb Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm a bit annoyed that the S1600 didn't have a bit of a performance boost to start with. Still glad I bought it though, really stands out against all the other MK7s on the road. Still not sure about the mountune upgrade though, I'd be better selling this and getting a RenaultSport Clio, would be cheaper/faster!

Apparently the 9.9seconds claimed by Ford for the standard Zetec S is a fairly conservative figure to keep the insurance group low. In reality, it is probably closer to 9seconds for the standard car.

Focus_ST-3 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Found a picture of the exhausts. Certainly more classy and integrated than the Mountune exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Tierney Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 It could just be a milltek system as thats claimed between 10-14bhp? Standard ZS hit alot less than 9.9, as said I think Ford does them with full tank and 2 people + thier luggage onboard. Got a vid somewhere of mine doing just over 8seconds witha k&n and Milltek Cat-Back. Cant wait to get my milltek manifold and sports cat. This is what they should of had the Original S1600 as, it didnt make much more sense just for the stripes,wheels and leather I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
