AMD Power Run on Mountune Fiesta Mk 7 MP140/ January 2011 We met up with 'Performance Ford' Magazine at AMD in Essex, where we undertook a power run on their dyno to determine what (if any) power gains could be had, by replaceing the Mountune Air Intake on a Fiesta Mk7, with our j1 Fiesta Mk7 Performance Air Intake Kit. Following the first run with the standard Mountune set up we were pleased to see a maximum power rating of 140.5 Hp (Just as you would expect). Replacing the intake with our j1 set up, we immediately saw the power increase to 143.8 hp, but since the j1 kit was designed to use the bonnet as an integral part of the intake system, we re-ran the test with the bonnet closed and saw 146.2 hp. An increase of 6 hp over the Mountune kit! - checkout the March issue of the Performance Ford magazine. |
