Sabre Stage 3 ECU Software – Focus ST MK2

The ST MK2 is a genuine success story for Ford and even now it is as popular as ever especially within the tuning community with the glorious 5 pot sound. Yes the iconic 2.5 litre turbocharged engine offers potential far beyond the base level, and what a robust platform it is for those extra horses. It might very well be the most modified Ford ever…

Of course modifiying is what Sabre do best and the Stage 3 upgrade just crushes it with power from 370-410bhp. You can call this the Sabre “50bhp shot” because if you start with a typical Stage 2 platform then we will generally see 50bhp plus. What’s more, it requires only minimal hardware to see the gains with the addition of the Sabre 400RS turbo, injectors and tuning.

Options for normal 95 octane fuels are available with around a 5-10% reduction in performance compared to 97-99 octane.

Recommended Hardware
The Sabre Stage 3 requires all the typical Stage 2 upgrades. Injectors should be 550-1000cc. We recommend the Sabre 400RS turbo for a direct fit option but tuning is available for other turbos set-ups including the RS turbo. The block modification is somewhat contentious therefore we let the customer decide. It does not affect the tuning either way.

Purchase information
Sabre ECU software upgrades have been developed under many conditions and cars. This process allows us to assess the tuning long term according to specification and variations, not just from a single vehicle.

Optimal performance and drivability will be achieved where typical hardware, conditions and fuel octane are used. Underlying and existing faults should be rectified before installing performance software. Please refer to the Terms & Conditions for more information.
