250hp/290tq repeatably.
290hp/320tq in overboost
http://www.focusrs.org/forum/48-kaiz...s-rs-dyno.html
The issue is overboost is not consistent/reliable/repeatable. Or are you saying a 30wtq difference doesn't matter?

personally I don't care about the dyno numbers - too much variance there. I'm more interested in the difference in trap numbers
obviously I have no idea why the numbers have such a high variance, and it seems neither do the fors owners - could be a boost leak, tune/ecu thing, who knows. it is definitely curious though

..... boost would then sink the ship that sailed implying "over boost" is funky.

The dyno debate is always a issue and those people that are involved with tuning know this.
Like I said earlier, the paint isn't even dry on this product yet. The US has just now got a hold of some.

you guys are really hammering in trying to pick apart nesmin's argument, but I would say forget about him and look at the bigger picture - the car just seems to perform inconsistently with high variance. I'm curious to see explanations, as are other car enthusiasts and especially FORS waitlisted people.
that's from one of the owners that was posting in that thread. sounds like a very frustrating experience to me - he's specifically talking about the pops/bangs or whatever, but he's one of the ones who's consistently had inconsistent performance from his fors
The car yesterday felt great. Pulled nice and hard and felt like it should. My autometer gauge showed anywhere between 25-30psi. Lots of heavy, raw pops and bangs. I loved it. Drove it today and the inconsistent car was back again... felt like it was lazy and just didnt want to go. Went out with a few friends tonight and on the way home it did the whole pop and bang once. Tried track mode, drift mode, sport mode and it just would not do it. I even held 2nd gear and let it rev above 4500 and let off then accelerate again and wouldnt make any sound at all. Stopped at wal mart for 15 mins. Started it back up again and gave it a rev and got a pop out of it. Drove home and got nothing. I dont know if anyone else is having this issue but it just adds to my overall frustration. @gte has yours had any issues not popping? I know its a minor thing but still...
...
Im not trying to bash on the rs or say thay i hate the car. I dont want to hate it. I want it to do what was advertised as doing.

I know what 407 WHP on my car trapped...but that was with a mustang dyno and only relative to my car. Those dyno numbers and the real world trap speed correlation is important in my pursuit of performance gains.
I wish people would just settle down and wait for things to slowly reveal themselves. The answer will come out. This is such a difficult, hard practice in this day of instant gratification..

People did wait, months. Now Kaizen, Mishimoto, and others have their shop cars. The results are in. The inconsistent power is not just one owners opinion at this point.
From here, those shops are going to start tuning/parts development. The initial stock dyno runs (which show the inconsistent power) won't ever change.
