410PS REVO Stage 2 Mk4 Ford Focus ST Review - Making a great car AWESOME !

[@shane6115]

I’ve said it on numerous occasions, that there is no need for expensive super cars anymore, these hot hatches as in RS,s civic tyre r,s and golf R,s are quick enough plus you can bring out the family and do your shopping in them.

[@niggly1370]

They’re statements now for media and fashion

[@Chris-hw4mq]

Problem is they are all fwd. A real sports car needs to be rwd. These are not supercars they are hot hatches. A supercar like a 296 is 10 times better

[@RevoHQ]

Great video Ped, you absolutely smashed it! We worked hard to produce a Stage 2 package without the need to remove the GPF or Cat. Keep smashing the content❤

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Guys 👍

[@johnjackson2349]

What kind of boost pressure does it go to? And also is it possible to maintain the stock overrun sound with this stage 2 pack?

[@Roobarb_Defender]

You absolutely hit the nail on the head in respect of the Mk4 ST over the Mk3 RS. Being in my early 50s I’ve always been into the performance Fords but nowadays I want a modern family Ford (with performance) without it looking like a ‘mid-life crisis meets boy racer’ purchase - great as the Mk3 RS is. This beautifully subtle-looking ST (with the full Revo package) seems to tick all the boxes for me - especially in white. Thank you. Excellent review as always. Cheers, Roo

[@dean6125]

Yeh totally agree at 50. Had a few fast and not so fast (made fast lol) ford's. These days got a mk3 focus stline 1l ecoboost but want more torque and thought the mk3 st exhaust setup, and the RS looked too boyracer / tacky. Even considered the puma st and golf gti but I do like the sleeper mk4 focus st the most 👍

[@SuperOrbit69]

Great bunch of guys at Revo Daventry. They did a stage 1 on my Mk3 Leon Cupra 290, at short notice I might add, and an excellent uplift in performance it brings. Now considering a stage 2 with very similar hardware upgrades to the Focus ST, which brings it up to a similar output as the Focus, 400bhp. The mid range is already explosive, lord only knows what it would like! Thanks for the great video and channel 👍

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Stan 👍

[@jakemenesse]

Stage 2 on the Cupra 290 is amazing and the perfect power output for it imo :)

[@SabotsLibres]

If there is one thing that always pisses me off, it’s exhaust pops that have been “engineered in”. They do absolutely nothing for the performance and detract from any deep engine note…

[@RevoHQ]

Couldn't agree more. The overrun wouldn't be for us in general, however, the market majority does like them. They are only in the Sport and Track modes😊

[@robertnightingale4101]

Loving your review, once you get past the acceleration, it's about how a car goes about its work around the speed limit on B roads. So is handling and steering response more important? I love keeping the speed up through flowing bends.

[@johnbrown3951]

What a car that is before the upgrades with the upgrades a different animal altogether. I had to re subscribe tonight as it said I was not a subscriber. Hope I am the only one or your numbers will be all wrong. Looking forward to the Audi test you hinted at on Instagram. My Mini is off to the car park in the sky I think, a new addition to the family is coming along with 400 bhp

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks for the re sub 👍

[@mattb8734]

Friend of mine just bought a brand new st and drove it today and the standard noise just blew me away

[@stuntslikeeveryday]

I was thinking about a RS or a new ST in Mountune Spec, but you seem to have a talent for selling cars. It looks more interesting to have a Revo ST, tough not sure wheter it beats a RS, then I mean driving pleasure.

[@PetrolPed]

Get in touch with Revo 👍

[@andrewmunn6448]

As an every day driver, the MK4 wins every time...... The adjustable modes means you can slacken everything off and your 90yr old granny could drive it to the shops without either wetting herself or needing a hip replacement and spinal traction.... Pop it into sport, everything sharpens up, but is still supple enough for UK roads.... TBH, track mode is a bit too severe ... The e-lsd comes into its own but the ride is harsh, much like a MK3 RS.... I've only gone for a 330bhp Dreamscience tune but along a B road, in sport mode, it's a proper weapon... All in all, it's a pretty much perfect compromise between everyday usability and trackday rocket....

[@Murtayafourfun]

Great review mate and I love the turbo flutter! I’ve been down the road of modding and it is fun but as I’ve grown older I’ve learnt to buy something engineered to be the power you want and handle the way you want out of the box. The lsd should of been fitted before the power upgrade so you can deploy the power quicker out of the bends and to help in the wet too.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@oceanhome2023]

I too like to have at LEAST the upgrades that my prior vehicles had , my 2003 Nissan Sentra Spec IV had a very good LSD and it is VERY Hard not to have one now ! The difficulty of Pulling my small boat up a very slippery boat ramp is just ONE of its drawbacks !

[@s10lucky]

Brilliant. I still miss bits of my Mk3 RS. That was only mountune’d to 375bhp, but was a lot of fun. Only thing that the Mk4 is missing is 4wd. That made the focus so sure footed.

[@PetrolPed]

It did but the Mk4 has such a good feel to it 👌

[@s10lucky]

@@PetrolPed the mk4 is definitely a leap forward from the mk3. Even standard it’s performance figures aren’t much different to the MK3 RS. Ford somehow manage to make a standard family car fun, where others struggle.

Great vlog as usual Ped. Amazing, as it looks and feels like a proper grown up uber hatch. However, better than a Focus RS with 4wd and drift mode! Drift mode or torque steer? I know which one would get my pulses racing more. Anyhow 400 bhp in a family hatch! Bonkers😂😂

Good evening. What a great car. All the bangs, farts and chirps would annoy the hell out of me! Please excuse my ignorance but are they necessary? Can you get the same performance without and are they just for the boy racer. I would love to have one but that would be a show stopper for me. Keep up the good work.

[@PetrolPed]

I’m not sure how much the pops and bangs are in the map. If so I’m sure that could be removed. The Milltek does give you some overrun noises 👍

[@andrewmunn6448]

With the standard exhaust in normal mode, absolutely zero ASBO noises.... In Sport or Track, there is a hint and the odd cough but certainly nowhere near the level of the vid.... When choosing the tune to increase power from standard, with Dreamscience at least, you have to specify if you want the overrun with pops, bangs etc, but even then, they only really become apparent in Sport and track and you can specify anything from 0 to 2.5 seconds in 0.5 second increases.... I have a 330 bhp tune, black mk4 ST and unless people know what to look for, they could take it for a 1.5l st line - until there's a gap I the oncoming traffic anyway 😂😂

Just to qualify something, it does have an lsd, it's not mechanical, it is a borg Warner ediff.. a set of clutches on the drive shafts, with torque sensing technology.. its a shame Ford didn't invest in revonuckle, hyperstrut, dual-axsis technology which is a very sophisticated front suspension to reduce torque steer, Honda (Type R) and Renault (Megan RS Trophy/Cup), Ford (RS Focus MK2) did that.

[@PetrolPed]

Hi 👋

[@2Latourette]

410 PS with a Stage 2 (Air Intech, an intercooler and a catback) seems to be fake ad. It should be more around 330-340PS. Pretty sure Revo provides you a stage 3 Focus with "heavy hardware" modifications ans told you that it was a stage 2 with only Air intech and intercooler revs... A not honest content....

[@PetrolPed]

I’ve seen the dyno result. Nothing fake here 🤷‍♂️

[@2Latourette]

@@PetrolPed I don't say the dyno result is fake. I just say the 410PS dyno result is not only due to the "air intake design" and a simple remaping as it is sold by Revo. So i bet that the car Revo has presented to you as a stage 2 is a little bit more than a basic stage 2 (maybe a bigger turbo). I don't say you are a crook but i suspect that Revo wasn't honest about the specs of the ST they lent you. And i almost ready to bet one of my balls that people who went to Revo for a ST mk4 stage 2 never manage to reach the figures announced.
