The Focus ST225 is a sporty compact car that has been a popular choice for many enthusiasts since it was first released. The car’s performance can be further improved by modifying the engine, suspension and brakes with Dreamscience Tuning options. However, before you can modify your Focus ST it is important that you know how to safely tune your car. In this guide we will go over everything from how to get into modifying cars to choosing the right parts for your particular model of Focus ST.

The Focus ST has always been a good performance car for the money, but it’s far from perfect.

The stock engine makes 221 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, but with just a few mods you can unlock more power.

Dreamscience Tuning has produced multiple stage kits that improve throttle response, power delivery, and efficiency by providing the proper components to increase airflow into your engine, to the level you feel comfortable with.

In order to tune your car, you will need a tuning device.

For this we recommend our very own Imap Tuning Handset, which comes pre-loaded with a number of maps that add a nice range of power boosting effects that can be swapped out and experimented with.

It’s important that you make sure your car is safe and ready for tuning before trying to modify it.

Safety should be your first priority. You should have a good understanding of the stock performance of your car, including its handling characteristics and brake system. If you don’t know what these things are like, get someone else who does to take a look at them before considering any changes. Also make sure all the parts are still in good working order—brakes, tires, suspension etc.—and that they won’t need replacing after modifications have been made.

 

We hope this guide has helped you get started with your first Focus ST225. If you’re looking for more information on the car, or want to join our community of Focus owners and enthusiasts, check out our forums!
