SUPERCHARG­ED MK6 FIESTA ST

BEN DICKSON

-

Having previously owned a Mk6 ST with mountune’s MR200 kit, Ben had always wanted to take things to the next level. So when he saw a supercharg­ed ST with full service history and low mileage, he knew it was his time to make the jump. Having come from the MR200 you’d have thought the 300bhp the car was already pushing out would have been enough, but straight away he got the car booked in at Jamsport to have the engine internals replaced with forged goodies, larger diameter pipe work fitted, beefier injectors, and a higher flowing fuel pump installed. All along with a new remap to make the most of it all!

At the same time he added an MTX75 gearbox from the Mk1 Focus RS, complete with Quaife ATB diff, Mk1 Focus RS Brembo brakes, BC Racing coil-overs, and Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2 wheels. He then proceeded to strip the interior, replacing the stock ST seats with Cobra buckets. This makes this ST one hell of a hot hatch! Perfect for carving up B-roads and embarrassi­ng a lot of bigger machinery.

Ben’s already thinking about upgrading the current C30 supercharg­er to a larger C38 to reach a lofty 400bhp, along with a full rollcage to keep him safe and add some rigidity to the shell. A set of semi slicks and this would be one serious track toy! All the while being a super clean tastefully modified example of the Mk6 Fiesta ST that would equally look at home entering a Show ’n’ Shine competitio­n as it would cocking a wheel on the way to clipping an apex on track! POWER: 332bhp

QUICK SPEC: 2.0-litre ST Duratec, forged internals, Cosworth inlet, 60mm throttle body, Rotrex C30 supercharg­er, 2.5-inch boost pipes, Airtec intercoole­r, uprated fuel pump, larger injectors, custom remap by Jamsport, BC Racing coil-overs, Focus RS MTX75 ‘box with Quaife ATB, 4-paddle Helix clutch, Mk1 Focus RS Brembos, Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2 alloys

 ??  ?? Ben’s supercharg­ed ST was the most powerful Fiesta on the dyno all day! 332bhp in a Mk6 Fiesta is going to be a lot of fun!
