Gene’s Fiesta ST has the newest, 3rd version of<br />
Cobb Tuning’s Accessport. Cobb Accessport gives<br />
you the ability to use ‘off the shelf’ tuning maps<br />
when using supporting Cobb bolt-ons. It also gives<br />
you the ability to customize your own pro map. But<br />
for most people, the ‘off the shelf’ maps are set up<br />
for everything you’re going to want/need… and it’s<br />
designed to be simple & reliable without hiccups.<br />
For the Fiesta ST, your stock wheel horsepower<br />
and torque are going to be around 190hp & 230tq.<br />
A Stage-1 map on 93 Octane with no other mods<br />
(in other words, straight off the dealership floor),<br />
will give you a 5% horsepower increase, and<br />
a impressive 26% torque increase. That’s your<br />
starting point, and it’s a good one - especially when<br />
you’re looking at those torque gains.<br />
Add a Cobb intake & front mount intercooler, and<br />
you can move to Stage-2… giving you a 14%<br />
horsepower increase, and a 29% torque increase.<br />
Fiesta STs suffer from heat soak issues, so these<br />
mods fix the problem and open up the gate to more<br />
power.<br />

From there - add Cobb’s turbo-back exhaust, and<br />
you’re ready for Stage-3 - with a 23% horsepower<br />
increase, and a wicked 41% torque bump. Make<br />
sure to also get Cobb’s rear motor mount, as the<br />
factory mount can’t handle the added torque,<br />
and will allow the motor to flex too much & bump<br />
the firewall under heavy launch & hard-shifting.<br />
Matter fact - go to thesmokingtire.com and enter<br />
‘project fiesta’ in the search bar. They ran through<br />
essentially all the same engine & software mods<br />
that this car has, made 217hp and 287tq on Stage-3<br />
with crappy 91-octane Cali gas. Plus - Matt Farah<br />
really gives you a feel for the ST’s real world funfactor…<br />
beyond the dyno charts.<br />
