zrjace Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 My sisters focus is about 330 bhp and nearer 400lb ft. And a civic tried it on with the focus, and it was keeping up with the focus , aparantly it only and manifold and exhaust done, it was a ep3. I dont see how a NA civic EP3 can keep up with something 400lb ft in a straight line? Ep3's have never bothered the focus before, its normally evo's what we keep up with etc. But one guy reckons it wasnt boosted, whats your views ?
mattyD Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Either he is chatting out his ass or your sister is lying when she says she has 330bhp, lol!Who do you believe?
00joeindastarb0 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 The civic with bolt ons could be running upto 240bhp and weighs less, the focus might not ike the current heat has it got an uprated intercooler?
Blitz Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 weight will be lighter in the ep3 but having the exhaust done on a civic can push them up to like 220 "/ also when the vtec kicks in the power goes up 73% so that would put the power up to 380.6bhp once it comes in, so yeah... it could keep up..... before i get loads of crap im JOKING

ryan lang Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 i believe the civic driver tbf, they are pretty awesome cars for being an n/aand the focus weighs more than the sun that they colored it on
Driver Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Your sister probs can't drive for shit, mainly due to her lack of a penis.Ep3s can be really quick, they can surprise alot of "hot" hatches.I have a friend with an EP3, a manifold, exhaust, RBC inlet, decent filter and a map on KPro that pulled over 260. The K20 is quite tunable, even in N/A form. Edited May 24, 2012 by Driver
zrjace Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Yes the st has a big FMIC. It wasnt my sister driving it was her bf, who goes on track all the time. And like i say its pissed on loads of ep3's before this and leaves them for dead. Pissed over e46 m3's and keeps up with m3 v8's.And no my sister isnt chatting out her arse, she has loads RR printouts, and also the mods she has done easily push that power.And i wouldnt say the driver was great either hitting the limiter for like 2 seconds in a high gear.I swear the st is only like 200 kg ish heavier and it had way more torque than vtec yo lol .

morgey Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Quite an under estimated car the ep3's, given u know what your doing, stick a k24 in there with a few mods n ecu, it will look the same as a k20 but can push 300+ bhp plus stick nos on them and urll be talking a low 13 high 12 second car if not quicker.Otherwise the ep3 driver doesnt know whatd done to his car lol
zrjace Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Some how much torque would a ep3 produce 240-260 bhp ish?Just looked and there only like 145lb FT standard aha? Really dont see how it could keep up tbh, Must of been boosted Edited May 24, 2012 by zrjace
Max9650 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) pics of sister required. Edited May 24, 2012 by Max9650
LeeG Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 a boosted ep3 would have shat all over the focus hands down, bolt on mods on ep3's work well, mate ep3 with group m induction kit, full spoon exhaust and mapped used to go off the clock no probs and stay bumper to bumper with r32 golfs.
morgey Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 theres only one realy answer to this and that is simply, jap ftmfw!! p.s pics also ftw ;) haha
Max9650 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) So many pervs on here lol.a girl in a 300bhp focus ST... i have to see pics.... lol.......NOW!! Edited May 24, 2012 by Max9650

On trackdays. And lakeside gp haha.They never bother the focus Edited May 24, 2012 by zrjace
Burny Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 I simply do not rate focus's! A new RS couldn't shake me when i was running a CT9 hybrid on my 5E lol that thing was 330bhp and mine was about 215bhp!!
morgey Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 a mk4 r32 is 240 hp 4wd and 17 tonnes a mk5 260 and 21 tonnes, a stock ep3 will walk all over one of them, they aint nothing special lol
mattyD Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 ^^^^^ good lad focus' are gay be it an st or an rs, they simply are not as quick as people think and it makes me chuckle
ryan lang Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 what does it matter anyhow? if it aint jap its scrap if the civic was a turbo, it would absolutely inihilate the ST
daniel_g Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 If it aint jap its......................................................................................FUCKING SHIT!!!
zrjace Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucK8BxfiAzo&feature=channel&list=UL This is a mates st from last weekend , Burny the rs has more power, there ratio's are crap and also there heavier than the st. The st had no diff and on normal suspension. So basically everyone here is saying a EP3 with probably about 160-180 lb ft torque will happily beat a focus st with 400 lb ft and 300+ bhp?
