How to make 300 horsepower in a Focus ST

[@pawdre5151]

A true man of Focus

[@destro-ng7bl]

Thank you for continuing to make videos on the platform instead of moving on due to it being out of production.

[@Jay-hs1pr]

Can't be more simple than that. You guys rock. Keep it up Edge 👊🏽

[@koolaidwaterfountainsforth4236]

As someone who put this turbo in a bigger bodied fusion, has some steam to it! Puts the stock k03 to shame without a doubt.

[@ProStatus144]

Perfect timing for this video. Just bought the same car on the dyno. Reaching out to you soon for a 400hp build!

[@EdgeAutosport]

Looking forward to it!

[@BoostedMaverick]

@@EdgeAutosport I got a 2024 2.0 ecoboost Maverick, can you do a build on it . Mainly I’d like to see Auxiliary Port Injection ( see if Focus ST setup works) an intercooler and Turbo for 320-350 hp. I already did, intake, down pipe, catback and HP Tune as I found your channel to late and already got some components. It’s a Tremor edition so I’m going to need some more HP to handle the power robbing 33’s I have planned

[@duster34075]

Thank you for all the focus st videos! 👍🏽 I get a good amount of solid info from them

[@GreyFocus]

is not dangerous to run a bigger turbo with the stock cat system? is not a bigger turbo back pressure with a big turbo and stock cat?

[@jimiboii209]

Thank you bro. Making it simple 🇺🇸

[@ezequielbolanos6629]

I needed this!!! Absolutely awesome!!! Thank you

[@Fordfocusstmk3250]

Mine has 262bhp and 285ft tq, no ecu, just air filter res delete and carbon clean, looking to do FMI and decat hoping should get about 285 hp without a map fingers crossed

[@MWR-lg9qp]

Good stuff man. I really look forward to seeing your shop someday.

[@martinv.w5686]

Use a hybrid turbo,cold air intake,stage2 intercooler and a catback system . Mine has got 300+ with it.

[@frogsta360]

Have been tuned on stock turbo E30 for a while now car has been great. VDyno says 299whp definitely surprised many cars on the road here in Australia - tuned LS based Holdens and XR6 Turbo (4L Turbo Barra 6cyl). My partner got an M235i with a tune and she chops me hard though haha

[@timprice8877]

I’m making 298whp stock turbo on 93 fbo, tuned by early performance locally.

[@EdgeAutosport]

✌✌

[@ReaganReese]

Love this video! Looking forward to seeing more videos in this new series!

[@robertjovero9712]

id be happy if i can get close to 300 on stock turbo. i have no plans on doing fuel upgrades either, unless im in need of a HPFP replacement 😆 but mahalo for this info!🤙

[@okstay_joseph]

Going big turbo and definitely getting tuned through Edge!!

[@WMUCarGuy]

Is the combo of the Garrett Turbo, the CPE intercooler and the Accessport going to set you up for ~300 at the wheels, or at the crank?

[@ap9579]

Can you do this series but for the 10th gen honda civic si?

[@EdgeAutosport]

We have a rough plan to do this. Not sure when yet though!

[@haroldcasio3066]

what if you did the powermax turbo fmic and bolt ons parts how much will you gain?

[@jeffreycastillo8386]

Edge auto is the best tunner for focus , Want it to last ,edge auto.

[@mateo_st17]

Alan tuned my focus for e30. HE IS THE MAN🔥

[@giomentx]

Can we get links to the other options? Like downpipe and intake and such that was in the video?

[@hasanalothman27]

i think this will be in the 400 range option

[@EdgeAutosport]

There are so many options for a "Full bolt on" build, it doesn't make sense to add links to every part we sell. Hop over to the website and make sure your have: Intake, Downpipe, Intercooler, Exhaust.

[@OsightblinderO]

As a a vb WRX owner that makes 400+ hp on an intake and a tune, I approve this video.

[@jjakji2078]

Oh baby!

[@Ezra.DC2]

I’m located in Vegas but wanted 2 have my car tuned by you guys when I finally upgrade the turbo. Do I need 2 go 2 your location , or could I buy a tune off of you guys ?

[@ZbynekStekl]

I would to buy Focus ST 2013/2014 preFL. I heard lot of bad about this EB 2.0 engines. Is it crap or its reliable with correctly maintained ? Im not upgrade it and let in at stock parts. For some while. Thx for answer

[@sheldonhodges1133]

Please post the 400!

[@EdgeAutosport]

Done!

[@TacticsGCH]

Can you make a video on the Fiesta ST for 300hp?

[@ThaddeusProuty]

Can run a 91 tune with the bigger turbo route? I dont have 93 in colorado

[@RickyRicky1290]

Can you do this series for the focus rs as well

[@SmolKTN]

So, how do I know the rest of the car/engine will handle 300+ hp? This can't be everything?

[@bacchusthompson5834]

Still unable to download the Turbo Buyers Guide… Filled out the form, no download

[@shaunwalton8058]

Hi, love your videos on the focus st. Here in the uk we have 99 octane fuel. How does this affect the upgrades you recommend?

[@EdgeAutosport]

Much of the world uses a different method for octane ratings than the US. Just a quick search shows UK uses RON method I think. The USA uses (R+M)/2. So it's a different number but could mean the same thing. I would imagine our 93 octane is similar to your 99 but I'm not sure and would have to research more.

[@Fordfocusstmk3250]

From the UK just searched, your 93 octane is basically our 99 ron 👍🏻

[@garrettrocks9888]

Curious what the limit is hp wise on that powermax before it’s maxed out? Plan on going FMIC, DP, AP, intake, and trying to decide if I should just go the 2867 route or if the powermax will be fine?

[@jesuscarrillo4344]

You will cap out around 340whp. You will be taxing the turbo the same way you would be taxing the stock turbo at 290-300whp. 320whp is the sweet spot. Lets just say, if you want more than 320whp, this is not the turbo for you.

[@phillipweimorts9275]

How are the ots tunes on the accessport? I have full bolt ons but plan on going aux fuel and big turbo in thear future and really dont want to pay for 2 different tunes.

[@EdgeAutosport]

Cobb's OTS tunes are much more tame than ours, if you want more power, go with ours!

[@santa135]

So if I'm full bolt on and then throw the powermax at it, I can easily sit at/above 300 without stressing the turbo too much?

[@EdgeAutosport]

Correct!

[@angelbetancourt4105]

What kind of power would someone be looking at with the powermax and fbo with e30. So downpipe, exhaust and intake with the power max?

[@bennobro]

I hate that I live remote Canada and currently can only get crappy 87….stopping me from going big turbo😢

[@Japanophile0417]

You can buy octane booster they you pour into the gas tank. Most will bump you up to at least 93. Then you can get water/meth injection to raise it further. Look into fuel additives

[@lonestarangler05]

Wanna get one soon and will have like 10 grand extra to put into it but I want reliable power what do you think I should do

[@EdgeAutosport]

If you follow the steps in this video, you can't go wrong! Acessport, interrcooler, powermax, reliable power.

[@danbeer4452]

With power and performance I like aesthetics... Maybe you can answer this. Painting or powder coating an intercooler a good or bad idea? I wouldn't want to spend hundreds on an upgrade just to make it useless...

[@EdgeAutosport]

I'm not a scientist, but in theory any layer added to an intercooler would most likely insulate it and stop it from transferring heat (That's its job). Some companies use colored THERMAL coating, designed to be more efficient at transferring heat, that might actually help. Mishimoto powder coats in sliver, black, and gold, (I haven't found any tech specs on the paint from them) but their product is fantastic. SO, I guess I can't really answer that question.

[@joshuacassar1343]

Hi is it possible stock turbo with all the bolt ons but in Australia we have 98 Oct

[@EdgeAutosport]

You most likely have gas similar to our 93. The US uses a different method for octane rating than most of the world. The fuel isn't as much of an issue as the limitations of the turbo.

[@eldr4quitoomg768]

Did u recomend me put a big turbo on a 100k miles focus st ??

[@kileki9163]

I’m going big turbo at 126k miles. as long as the vehicle is healthy you will be fine

[@hollowthere3850]

Isn't the big wheel stocker slightly more power than the powermax and cheaper? Or is this just for the store cred recommendation?

[@ernestamar8885]

I made 307 whp on e30 with BWS and all the bolt ons including a wastegate at sea level and 110-115 degree weather. Tuned by Alan too

[@fpaltenhoff86]

Have you guys done any work on the 2nd gen fusions with the same ecoboost 2.0? I’m curious cause my understanding is the main weakpoint is the transmission, and I keep seeing conflicting reports as to the max power and torque the 6f35 can take

[@koolaidwaterfountainsforth4236]

I have this exact turbo in my 2nd gen 2.0 fusion. Send it bud

[@thisismyviewingchannel926]

I am curious what you can get on 91 on stock turbo. I want to build my ST to be STH legal but want 300 not sure if that's possible at all.

[@EdgeAutosport]

The stock turbo on 91 at sea level will spin out before it hits 300hp.

[@hasanalothman27]

that is quite smart way to do the videos but what about putting the package in your website, package 300, package 400, package 500 with internal and option aux fuel or xd injectors

[@matthewsawczuk6316]

what if you run on 99 octane ?

[@CotyBasa-Oahustate808]

For the escape guys, its hard for us because while the engine can handle the power and torque, the trans cant handle it

[@JamesVelez]

Alan, I got FMIC, Intake, Catless Downpipe, charge pipes with stock turbo tuned on 93. what kind of number could i expect if a I added a 2867 BT?

[@frogsta360]

350whp -> 400whp with fueling

[@jacobsoffroad]

Focus ST is fuel limited to 380hp, in stock form, I believe.

[@EdgeAutosport]

We will cover this in the next video. Spoiler: you do need to address the fueling issue

[@rustydustydirtydingo]

What about 350-375whp? Looking to stay a bit more reliable.

[@EdgeAutosport]

The 400hp video covers exactly how to get to the limit of the stock fuel system right around 375hp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKjCfn6XapuHpq8

[@sharpy130]

What are them lights on the door pillar ?

[@EdgeAutosport]

keyless entry number pad

[@philgemmati9703]

Can u hit 350-ish mark with powermax, tune and bolt ons?

[@EdgeAutosport]

Full bolt on with powermax will do it, but the turbo will be stressed

[@philgemmati9703]

@@EdgeAutosport so 2867 would be the way to go?

[@duanesheppard8494]

Will the garrett power max fit onto my mk3 2012 st 250 2.0 ecoboost?

[@EdgeAutosport]

I can't guarantee, but I'm pretty sure it'll fit. That's the first year of the mk3 internationally and the USA got the mk3 in 2013.

[@duanesheppard8494]

@@EdgeAutosport thanks for replying

[@66scooterdaytona]

What can you do with a Maverick?

[@EdgeAutosport]

Lots of things! Here is a link to a Baseline tune to get things started. Intake, exhaust, intercooler, and eventually big turbo coming soon... kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5yZZ6FnmM6CbNE

[@THExFREE1]

With FBO and that’s turbo can you hit 325+ on 93 Octane?

[@captainhellhound7451]

You’ll be there, but the turbo will be near maxed out. The recommended turbo usually is a GTX2867r Gen 2. You’ll be able to easily make 350+ wheel with plenty of room to play with.

[@EdgeAutosport]

Correct.

[@tristanjohnson7251]

Will this setup make it to 350hp?

[@EdgeAutosport]

No.

[@gtrturtle]

Don’t they come standard with 280hp?

[@EdgeAutosport]

252 is the factory rating at the crank. They typically dyno at around 230whp stock.

[@prestonclark8022]

Would I be able to run 91 and 93?

[@EdgeAutosport]

91 and 93 don't have enough power to get to 300hp with the stock turbo. If you upgrade to the Powermax you can run 91 and 93.

[@s197gt6]

Will that turbo still passes smog?

[@THEFIFTHDIMENTION]

Yes. It's OEM plus

[@dayvinmelendez5393]

where are you guys located?

[@EdgeAutosport]

Just outside of Denver CO!

[@dman09191964]

How about stock turbo with the engine stroked to a 2.3? What kind of horsepower would you get from that setup. This is with an updated intercooler and Ford Performance tune.

[@dank3stdragon872]

How about a video on the middle of 350hp?

[@EdgeAutosport]

We touched on it here, full bolt on with the powermax and an e-30 blend will get you there

[@laszlovona]

by the time I will be able to afford to powermax, it will be close to a big turbo setup...😢

[@EdgeAutosport]

Don't be sad, you can skip the powermax and go straight to 400+

[@laszlovona]

@@EdgeAutosport you read my mind 😊 I seriously consider the gtx2867 or 2871. Regarding the characteristics... well, I burnt enough rubber between 3-5k RPM, and ready to do this between 4.5-7k 😁

[@LimitlessStrengthCoaching]

Why not both 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@EdgeAutosport]

You can definitely go with both and get even more! We were just discussing ways to get to 300.

[@timprice8877]

There shouldn’t be any need for a Garret powermax, I’m making 298whp on 93 octane, on the dyno stock turbo FBO 352lb ft of torque!

[@THEFIFTHDIMENTION]

Like he said it's easier and more reliably. The little k03 stock will have a hard time surviving and is not the same for everyone. It might cook itself .

[@dst-7]

Is the Cpe 3.5 inch (lightweight core) big enough for Garret power max turbo??

[@EdgeAutosport]

Yes! The powermax is a OEM+ and any quality aftermarket intercooler will be much better than the original intercooler
