still running that OEM upper engine mount! Id swap that before it leaks grease all over the engine bay. Happened to my 2016 ST..ended up going with TTR upper engine and trans mounts, Cobb RMM. I built my engine (pistons, rods, bearings, studs, etc), big turbo, supporting mods all for around $10k all said and done. 500whp Focus ST oh, add $100 to your budget, swap that silly prop rod out with the redline performance hood struts 😅 It was like my 2nd mod after driving the car off the lot lol nice RS..still got it? Still breaking hearts? I love how many cars underestimate my little poor mans tuner hatchback 😎
How did you manage to obtain the DataLog? I used FORScan looking for the parameters (RPM, AFR, TPS). However, when sending the .csv file to Virtual Dyno, it appears that it did not find the "RPM" column
This car is like when in need for speed you grind a shit ton of money, but didn't level enough to buy a super car yet, so you just buy the best car for your level and completely maxed it out, and i absolutely love it
couple questions....can you pass emissions with scorpion catless? Did you run this with factory open deck? I know you blew up, next question, did you go Longblock or did you go 2.0 shortblock? Single Borla seems like a downgrade? Nice Fuel injection. After all of your experience with this car what would you recommend for someone looking for RELIABLE 500-550 whp?
This video fully encapsulates working on a car with the boys. 4 of you in the garage, one owns the car, one is the knowledge and tools guy, and the other two are there to fuck around/play mess around with their gun/talk crap to the two working on the car.
I got a 2.5L stroker with cams from speedperformance so I add more torque to begin with so this turbo with the xdi pump and injectors is perfect on mine. dyno coming up. just using 91 and wmi and running 32.5psi how much psi where you running?
I modded my 2006 Mitsubishi Evo 9 in an attempt to make it fast. 450 hp to the cwheel but I would get smoked by cars like the Nissan GTR so I sold my Evo and bought a GTR. I bought the Focus RS but I accepted that though it is a fast car it will not be the fastest car out there. Oh by the way my 2016 Focus RS makes 400 hp at the crank. Just giving my perspective.
I do lol. Got pulled over 3 times in a span of a month. CA sucks when it comes to modded vehicle. Bad part of posting videos is people realizing the city it is in. Cops know what is done to it and arent happy, which resulted in the car getting state reffed multiple times, to the point where I couldnt even drive it without being recognized by community police. Had no other option but to get rid of it since I couldn’t move cities either. The car was modified to the point where I couldnt put it back to stock to get it reffed in less than 30days.
man your car looks AMAZING with all the carbon add on's, talking about running in the 10's on the QM all I have to say is WOW, I own a 2017 RS same color and have modded up to stage 2, this is really where I want to go with mine, any helpful tips and or advice would be much appreciated, again sweeeet car!
