Just a quick one. If anyone was wondering why the power of the engine looks different its because in the USA they are aloud to advertise it has 197hp when on overboost. In the UK they are not aloud to advertise the overboost power. So the engines are the same

Bloody Yanks, always exaggerating!!

But when you gunning it its got 197hp, 30 seconds is quite a while in a real life situation.

True

In most situations, things only tend to last 30 seconds on full power before it goes into limp mode...

30 seconds is ages at full throttle.
I'm curious if the 30 seconds starts over again when you lift off, such as when changing gear.

Yeh how does it "recharge" ready for another boost??

I think it might just be a timer in the electronics to limit the air intake after 15 seconds. All you need to do is lift off the throttle slightly and then go full throttle to get the overboost again.

So keep lifting off and you're constantly on Boost then

So what we are saying is the Fiesta is a 200hp car not a 180hp?

Pretty much yeah, UK laws means that overboost numbers can't be used as the top power. Even though you can be constantly on overboost lol.

Lets not tell the insurance companys. Yeeeessss its 180hp sir.

I always used to say 200bhp it sounds better lol

I want one
