I have the 2.0 EcoBoost in my Focus ST. Yes, it only has 250 HP but is has 270 ft/lbs of TORQUE! And it's down load torque! There is no turbo lag! Every time I drive this dang car I find myself say, "This is a Focus?" LOL!
Here was my dyno from stock 2010 V6 Camaro:
My dyno sheet from the ST with just a simple axle back. Unfortunately this is on a different dyno... but it was another DynoJet. Eventually I'll get the ST dyno'ed at Alternative Auto (with a tune!!!)
The bad thing about the ST is it's wrong wheel drive, so try to do a hard launch is incredibly challenging! But once it's rolling, WOW! Definitely pulls harder than my Camaro... hard to remember but I'm thinking it pulls harder than my 2002 Mustang GT..
And the 2.0 EcoBoost is detuned from the factory... not as much as the 3.5 V6 EcoBoost but the gains are still there with a tune for the 2.0 EB. I would imagine the 2.3 EB will have some power left on the table for those guys that want a tune and are willing to run premium fuel!
Should be interesting to see how the 2.3 EB plays out!
