I've decided to keep my Focus RS rather than sell it, and therefore we must make it faster. So we went down to Mountune USA and had some upgrades installed! The car showed gains of 26 WHP and 91 WTQ on the World Motorsports Wind Tunnel Dyno. I was then joined by Sam from Seen Through Glass for my first blast through the canyons after the tune.
Check out Sam's channel here:
/ seenthroughglass
All parts installed on the car are listed below with links. Buy them for yourself at: www.mountuneusa.com
FULL DISCLOSURE: Magnaflow and Mountune USA provided these parts and installation to me at no cost in exchange for making this video.
Check out all my modifications on Wheelwell!

This video is funny. As a subscriber of sams channel, he is totally lost when you talk technically about the modifications. In the U.K. You get your car wrapped, fit a better exhaust and a carbon wing, that's it, nothing more. Haha Sam, back to normal soon mate.

I'd say it depends on the wrap. Some wraps don't even get into the door jambs so, as you would imagine, they don't make much power.

I'm sure when people have more tune history on the RS's you'll start seeing a tune add 30-40hp to the wheels. I have no doubt overtime that a basic bolt-on RS will be hitting 350-370hp to the wheels. New wrx's are hitting 300-325hp with the basic bolt-on's so I'm sure the RS can get much high numbers

Pennywise For now. How long before we see cams, heads, intake, and exhaust on that thing. It already has all the suspension parts on it and we know that motor can put down better numbers on pump gas. Not only that they're probably comparable in weight too.
@TheSmokingTire
@TheSmokingTire 7 лет назад
nezerac mustang is 340 lbs lighter than the RS, but right now it's down on power too. Mustang makes 270 WHP and 300 WTQ, which is fun. But like you said, now that I have suspension, brake, and tire to back it up, next year I'm gonna add some power. AFR heads, probably, and I'm really feeling that ITB setup too. So sick. After that should be making 350 WHP and quite stout.

@AliTaylor777
@AliTaylor777 7 лет назад
It weighs 1599kg, though. That's fat for a hatch by anyone's measure. As a result, the stock car has no better a power to weight ratio than a '95 WRX STI, E36 M3 or RX7 Bathurst. Even tuned, it's the same as a 1984 Testarossa or 2003 Jag XJR.
@mattb3910
@mattb3910 7 лет назад
the RS's AWD platform is one of the best/much better than any AWD car you mentioned. Using LC, on a tuned RS, I would expect a mid/low 4s 0-60. With cup 2 tires, low 4's more likely.

On another review, they talk about track mode and the fact that you can still adjust the suspension in that mode. They said it was the best of both worlds. You get all of the rest of the handling and power and a more compliant suspension. They really gave it a lot of flexibility.

@Christdeliverme
@Christdeliverme 7 лет назад
This is a modern trend in 4 cylinder cars. Running the turbos off the map stock with undersized turbine. The first thing I'd do in any of these vehicles is sacrifice 1500 rpm spool for a turbo that makes power another 1500 RPM to fuel cut. I hate cars that lose urgency top end, it's underwhelming, boring and disappointing every single time you go through the gears. This is why I like 6 cylinders with huge turbos. You've still got enough torque to daily drive without it being horrible (because you're driving normally) but makes power until you take your foot out of it. Also, I don't race from 2800-4000 rpm but for 2 seconds in first gear. The rest of that, we never see that RPM again.

+Beau Mancini "Also, I don't race from 2800-4000 rpm but for 2 seconds in first gear. The rest of that, we never see that RPM again." Then perhaps you should spend less time at the drag strip...
@Christdeliverme
@Christdeliverme 7 лет назад
koopatroopa187 trying to be nice here, but why do you suggest I only give that throttle the boot at the drag strip? Matt isn't in any video. if you find yourself under 4000 rpm, switch gears. unless of course you're trying to set a car up for Christmas: Mall Parking Lot Nationals trials (autocross) I'd still say you're in the wrong gear anyways. there really isn't a time if you're properly racing where you're stuck in low rpms, so not sure what you hoped to gain mentioning it. and lastly of course when I'm not racing around, i don't need ask of that power around town when I spend the time at low Rpm.

Beau Mancini Because some courses have very tight turns where shifting into first is going to do nothing but require you to shift again in another second while gaining no speed because you're sitting on the rev limiter, so it would be beneficial to just let the revs fall and let your gearing and/or torque get you back up to speed. There is a reason why most race cars produce massive amounts of torque at the lower RPMs. Also, you're going to get bogged down in traffic anyways, or do you not spend any time in traffic much like you spend no time in the lower spectrum of the tachometer?

This will probably get buried in the comments, but just wanted to say, a big thanks for disclosing the information about the Magnaflow and Mountune USA (free) parts and installation within the information field. This openness further bolsters my support for your channel and everything you do. Speaking of which, could you reply with a link to purchase a shirt? Onward amigo.

nothing to see here i agree they have lots of potential but seems like alot of people that buy them are somewhat disapointed because they expected more. I test drove one cause i was going to trade my car for one but honestly besides launch control its not all that. its pretty quick not as quick as i thought it would be but doesnt sound all that great and definitely isnt worth the money I'd rather take the 5.0 since they're around the same price

Matt, you should build a monster out of this car. I'm sure there would be more than one company willing to sponsor you! Great videos man, I'm building a turbo V8 Miata. If you ever find yourself in Houston, I'd like for you to take it for a spin.

Matt, there's a secret 5th drive mode on the RS. It's track mode with normal suspension and traction enabled. It makes the car very long liveable. Check it out in YT. Video is: Focus RS secret fifth drive mode.

wow I didn't think the RS would make gains like that! monster to curve!
@LC-qp7pr
@LC-qp7pr 7 лет назад
WOT122 Gains are pretty meh tbh. "Area under the curve" gains with very little peak gains is the best you can do when the turbo is maxed out from the factory. Makes sense since cars are pretty well engineered these days, at least in regards to being built to a spec.
@guthrie1181
@guthrie1181 7 лет назад
+David Schwartz "Area under the curve" gains are great for a daily driver that's constantly dealing with red lights, stop and go traffic, and passing left lane assholes. I wouldn't trade that for all top end gains. And he's not even done making gains. He's running 91 octane, and a stock downpipe.
@LC-qp7pr
@LC-qp7pr 7 лет назад
That turbos pretty much maxed out I bet. I'd be surprise if he could gain much more, particularly peak, without a new turbo.
@guthrie1181
@guthrie1181 7 лет назад
David Schwartz​ Oh I completely agree it's maxed out above 5.5k rpm, but there's more gains to be had below that. And there's more gains to be had everywhere via ignition timing advance. 91 octane doesn't afford much timing.
@LC-qp7pr
@LC-qp7pr 7 лет назад
Not very much bro. I mean the first bump is usually the biggest and he only gained about 25 whp. Similar mods on a Subaru sti (downpipe, intake, tune) gains about 2-3 times that. I mean it's basically maxed out from the factory, minimal gains to be had everywhere unless you do a turbo swap. I wonder what drive train upgrades are needed at that point too.

Can you put down your driver side sun shade with your V1 mounted there? I have mine in the same spot on my STI and love it being out of the way but I hate that I can't put down my sun shade in those times I really need it.
