@Zeggawong Why? It's a poor 2.5l engine. Look at the Audi 2.5l engine, it produces so much more power and torque. Ford's 2.5l engine is competing with VW/Audi's 2l engine lol
Ps. On a side note, the RS still has a butt ugly interior and exterior

What a car Ford have done it again!

I may not be able to run high boost but the K20 is still great. Also in one Fifth Gear review the Focus RS 2 liter was only .3 seconds faster than the Civic Type-R

@MaddDogg81 And here's a lesson for you on Forced Induction. Your RSX came with a higher compression ratio motor from the factory due to it being Naturally Aspirated. This Ford Focus RS, because it is turboed from the factory, is running a much lower compression ratio. Which means you make more horsepower per lb of boost than that RS does. However, it also means your car has to pull far more timing off to be safe, where as the RS doesn't. It can run far more boost than you can.

@MaddDogg81 Oh and excuse me while I laugh my ass off at your comment about your Honda handling better than my Corvette. I started out with Nissan 240sx's and Mazda RX7's, and I know what lighter weight 4cyl Japanese cars can do from a handling standpoint. They can handle really well, but they are not going to out-handle a Corvette if the suspension mods are similar. For starters, the Corvette has a lower center of gravity, is wider, and has a wider tire contact patch.

@MaddDogg81 The fact that you missed my point, shows how much of an idiot you are MaddDogg. Your car did not come with a turbo from the factory. At most, it had 200hp. This Ford Focus comes with 300hp AND has a warranty. Not to mention, it has stronger internals than your factory Honda motor. i.e., it was designed for boost, your car was not. For a 30 year old, your arguments mirror that of 21 year olds.

@JustinStrife of course a boosted V8 that cost over twice as much as an RSX should be faster. I mean for fucks sake your kind compares boosted V8's that cost alot to an NA four banger, what a wanker you are. I'm on just 6.5 psi too so my power is prety damn goodd
I wish Ford or Volvo would make a decent (Under 1350kg) RWD car using this engine.
