@simonbussey7530 3 года назад

Two mods that often *DECREASE* POWER, not increase it. 1) Induction kit. You're removing a cold air feed and replacing it with an engine bay warm air feed. The amount of air being taken into your engine is controlled by the ECU and turbo. If the ECU asks for 1.5BAR of turbo that's what you get, and that equates to a certain amount of air. It doesn't matter how big your intake is, you're not getting any more air into the engine. So you'll make more power if you have cold air instead. There's a reason why manufacturers use an airbox to keep warm engine air out and feed it from outside.. 2) Larger intercooler doesn't really add any power. It's useful if you're working the car hard and you can slowdown heatsoak, such as tracking the car. But when everything is cold it can decrease performance, cause a pressure drop and add turbo lag. Lots of info online about fitting larger intercoolers reducing performance and turbo efficiency. On the Fiesta ST neither the intake or exhaust are restrictive for performance. Change them for the sound and aesthetics. Remap on a standard car, and same remap on a car with every bolt on tuning accessory available will produce basically the same power.

@Kwarkiemodo Год назад

Weird that the reviewer doesn't respond to your message. You are absolutely right. You can change the intake with mountune One, which is also a cold air intake. I have seen tests, and some can give 5 to 8bh more, but for performance, you better stick with the original. It protects the engine better from dirt and fine dust. If you are going with a bigger intercooler, you might as well get a bigger turbo. Otherwise, it's just BS for a daily car. Or you live in Dubai, where it's hot all the time, but not in England 🤣.

@joshmarsh95 3 года назад

I remember you saying in one of your videos that you found yourself with Carplay crashing regularly when driving, and it would only rectify when you stopped the car and got out. Found this myself after buying a 68 plate Fiesta 2 days ago - found that holding the stereo power button with the next track button for 6 seconds resets the whole thing without the need to get out and stop! Hopefully, that'll sort that for you. :-)

@shartak5020 4 года назад

Hey Johnny, you should check what Dream Science does in terms of intake for the mk8. They're working on a full 3" intake to turbo system and they've got big intake horns. That would be a great plus if you do a custom remap.

@JBCTR 4 года назад

pals bj They’re certainly producing some exciting stuff at the moment. I’m not going for a custom remap for a number of reasons (which I won’t go in to here.) I’ll sit tight for ‘stage 2’ maps to be released, but they’ll need to find a way round the GPF first :)

Glad your still enjoying the car, recently got mine back after the engine work and new seat and thought I would of fallen out of love with it, but I haven't and the car as a package is hard to beat. I really need something bigger but nothing else floats my boat the car is almost perfect.

@chriselse515 4 года назад

@@jordanbye9102 had a oil leak on the fuel shut of valve, Which is in the cylinder head. So had a new cylinder head and block replaced, new cams new water pump and new crankshaft. No warranty was fine as my car was a early engine batch which they know have faults possibly a pre production engine. Although I wouldn't want to chance it if my car was newer.

@LankyTV_ 4 года назад

The subtle mods make this car more appealing! Have you updated the Revo software after fitting the intercooler? Normally have to be remapped after fitting something like that!

@JBCTR 4 года назад

Cheers! The software has not been updated just yet. The world of Fiesta tuning is generally performed with generic ECU mapping as this allows for more in depth testing and a more reliable end product. However all of the performance enhancing hardware fitted to the car is not officially supported by the Revo Software on the car, but should be supported by their next software package... which has yet to be released. At the moment, I'm just toying with new hardware to see how the current software reacts :)

@DeathbyB1nary 4 года назад

I am so sad we don't get these, or the new FoST in NA anymore... it's a shame. Also, I think those wheels might be the best looking stock wheels on any hot hatchback ever. They look amazing.

@Tehsheeeep 4 года назад

Not particualarly a fan of ford personally, but fair play to them for this engine, 260 + bhp on stage 2 is bloddy fantastic

@JBCTR 4 года назад

This car isn't officially stage 2 either, which is amazing. The software is on the car can be run on a standard car and produce around 245-250bhp consistently. It's a great engine!

@19marshall80 4 года назад

I think the bigger intercooler needs to mapped to your current calibration mate...otherwise the ECU will make no changers to the mod :) Also disappointing that MK8 has the same issue with soft paint like the MK7 ST, I just keep 25 car lengths form the traffic in front LOL

@JBCTR 4 года назад

19marshall80 Officially yes it does, but it was mainly installed ready for stage 2 softwares 😁 The Revo software does adjust slightly to hardware changes which is why there are slight gains to be had on this software. The intake is where the biggest hardware gains are to be had with a ‘stage 1’ software

@JBCTR 4 года назад

The car is run exclusively on 99 RON 👍🏼 I would still 100% recommend the cooler. From behind the wheel, it feels mega to drive - significantly faster than with the stock cooler, and of course it prepares the car for more horses later down the line.

@TheJeremyevans 4 года назад

@EmilWilkensRC 4 года назад

Hi Johnny, Thanks for all your lovely videos! Do you know if all the 2019/2020 models also sound as good as yours, with overrun and all that? New regulations regarding particular filters was imlemented on EU cars late 2018. For example, the VW Polo GTI’s sound crap now 🤕 cheers

@JBCTR 4 года назад

Hi mate, they should do! All ST's (including mine) have a GPF fitted and the overrun is programmed as part of the ECU tune from factory. My car is running Revo software which has slightly enhanced the overrun, but you'll still get it as a stock car. I also have the Milltek exhaust which of course makes it louder too.

@EmilWilkensRC 4 года назад

JB CTR thanks for your kind response. I feel even more confident, that the Fiesta is my next car (upgrading from my current R32 mk5). 🚀 Your videoes play a Big part in my buying descision, you should be paid by Ford 😂👍🏼 I will add the milltek ASAP and might go with a Revo Tune as well. But i am just nervous about loosing the warranty - whats your thoughts on that? Revo vs Warranty?

@JBCTR 4 года назад

Emil Wilkens glad you are enjoying them! Warranty is a very grey area. Generally speaking, Ford are one of the more lenient manufacturers (in my opinion) with modifications. The stance they tend to take is that you’ll only invalidate you warranty on the parts that are impacted by your modifications. So if you modify, you don’t totally lose your warranty. 👍🏼

@EmilWilkensRC 4 года назад

JB CTR your welcome. It is also the engine warranty i am mostly concerned about - as i expect the engine to be the most expensive, complex and critical parts of a car. 🙈 but thanks for your feedback man. Keep pushing out vids on that beast you got there

@Maca0716 4 года назад

Johnny, I have Revo+Milltek and I noticed in your videos that when you shift down gears you are getting pops and bangs, I only seem to get these bangs when I’m up shifting with the revs at 4K+ Should I be getting these bangs when I downshift with the overrun? Or are you rev matching when you downshift to create the bangs? Cheers

@thomasmoignard3730 4 года назад

Have you updated you’re sync 3 if you have then you need to turn off WiFi and automatic updates it will make the system a lot faster. Also as well if you hold down the reverse track and the power button it will put you’re car into testing mode for the sync then go into testing setting got to the HMI and put it to log all then it means that it logs all you’re sound and make B&O come alive.

Been so indecisive on cars and the GTIs are so steep in price and I would be probs annoyed I skimped on the performance pack and whether manual or DSG is the choice lol. Is this fiesta worth the money? The rear end puts me off the whole design though IMO lol. This is the colour grey I want in general too.

There are pretty significant discounts to be had on these if you hunt around, which makes them a fair bit cheaper than their competitors. This is my second Fiesta ST and I certainly don't regret buying it.

@ilpatongi 4 года назад

Hey Johnny, do you think that the induction kit and intercooler could've reduced power output? A lot of people I know told me that a cone filter isn't necessarily a good thing with a stock map because the car wouldn't know how to use the large quantity of air and of higher temperature. You have the Revo map tho, so this worries me. Could you do a run with the stock intake box? Maybe it's really "impeding" power

@JBCTR 4 года назад

Jeremy Clarkson Hi there, not entirely sure the intake is to blame here. The car has been run at over 260hp with the intake. At the time, this was the most powerful MK8 run to date and cars with the stock air box were down on power. Doing some intake comparisons on the Dyno does sound like it could be a good video though - so I’ll see what I can do to sort that 😎

@ilpatongi 4 года назад

@@JBCTR The only thing I'm going to change for sure are the light bulbs (fog lights, reversing light, and the rear blinkers. I was also thinking about wrapping it with a paint protector film. In my area people are extremely careless and have tendency to bump others cars in the parking lot with their doors.

Need to remove that larger intercooler to find that 10hp and restore torque and midrange , or get a custom tune. My sync 3 works fine with android ;)

@JBCTR 4 года назад

maddogdragracing I’m not entirely sure it is the cooler. Other vehicles have made power with the larger cooler. As gains are so good with just software, the stock cooler can get heat soaked (shown by thermal cameras). Weirdly, it also feels faster from behind the wheel.

The 1 litre 3 pots barely make it past 60k miles, if you get them up to 180bjp you ain't got long before they blow, not sure on the St 3 pots in the mk8

Rafael Branco The Revo software will adapt to hardware changes, which is why you can see slight improvements with hardware changes. Although with the hardware on my car, it is ready for the next lot of software which is yet to be released. Hopefully soon 😁

Dont go chasing figures if the car is healthy as it'll just take the fun out of the car 👍🏻. How is the car riding on the kw springs?

@JBCTR 4 года назад

KW springs are a little firmer than stock as you'd expect but certainly not back breaking. I've dailied the car for over 15000 miles with the springs on now and still happy with them. Bang for buck, they are brilliant.

@Pedro-ku1wt 4 года назад

Are you aware of all the problems this car is having? I'm an ST owner, since June 2019, only 4 months and my car has a minimal oil leak and the steering column problem as well. Does your's have or had this before? Aren't you worried that you lost the warranty? You also mentioned the rattling plastics, but there I agree, it doesn't annoy me anymore, as the car is brilliant to drive. Also, do you recommend a Milltek exhaust with or without GPF? I was waiting for Mountune, but they take forever to release their products.. Nice video as usual!

@JBCTR 4 года назад

Pedro Figueiredo Hi mate, yup there’s a small portion of them with issues. Always the way with a new car. They’ll get sorted 😁 I’ve got the GPF back exhaust and it is more than loud enough for me, and still legal 😎

@@alistairsmyth9792 hi mate, it wasn't an oil leak after all (said Ford), just some residue that was cleaned and never appeared again, but the first engines made till February 19 are prone to have oil leaks, near the alternator. My steering column had to be replaced, under warranty.

Nothing wrong with the car. You’ve just added a new cooler thinking it’ll increase bhp in its own. It needs stage 2 for that to be utilised and increase figures. Right now that cooler isn’t doing much more then the stock one.
