HOW MUCH HORSEPOWER IS OUR CHEAP FOCUS RS RUNNING?

CHECK OUT OUR UNCENSORED PODCAST / evilgt
Subscribe: cutt.ly/Vse4oM2
We take our cheap Focus RS to The Vehicle Tuner for a rolling road dyno test to find out how much horsepower it is kicking out from it's 2.3L Ecoboost engine. Although it has a lot of Mountune modifications, on previous tests it could only manage 0-60 in just under 5 seconds, so does this mean it is running factory standard 345hp or Mountune 375hp?

Bang on standard power 👍🏼, and after 66,000 miles? Big up the RS 🙌🏼

[@andiquill8069]

Lee taking a dump at the garage 😆🤣😂 I don't think my side's can take much more 😂🤣😆

[@rswayne2462]

I use to buy custom remaps off this guy for about £25 a map an use a remapping tool off eBay and do them myself

[@ChRiS-kc6by]

Brilliant content. From a fellow mk3 RS owner get it stage 2’d. Transforms the car 👍

[@johndodd4862]

Same as me. I don't think they should touch it, I don't want everyone having what I (and you!) have got - ha,ha

[@jameshedges3857]

stage 2 is awsome on the RS. Makes you realise how flat the RS feels in stock form. I'm running MSD420 and its the absolute nuts!

[@michaelhesford5191]

I knew it wasn’t mountune... glad it’s still keeping its power... what a beautiful car !!!!

[@EVILGT]

Agreed mate 💪🏼

[@reeisessit]

That's damn impressive, stock RS should do 470nm in overboost and thats little over 500nm

[@georgeyanakov8177]

Put it in “ Dyno mode “ to get a precise reading. The car has it, check how to activate it and measure again.

[@CaravanningwiththeCoxs]

Loving this channel recently, good banter and chat about cars. Not bad after 60k still at standard power! Maybe should get our standard 7k mile RS on one and see the power... also loving the Instagram posts at the moment too. Cheers, Oliver.

[@EVILGT]

Thanks For your suppprt Oliver 🙏🏻

[@amsingh3041]

I love the way he was laughing when he saw 288hp and thought it was under powered. 🤣🤣🤣 think the clock started ticking when they were told it was whp 🤣🤣

[@chrismaund2134]

The rolling Road was a great price 👍 chat at the end " brilliant "

[@AtifinhoG]

If you have some mountunes parts like intercooler ect. Then you should get the COBB map to help with the ECU to get re-tuned

[@mmmadog]

My Audi has a sticker under the hood that says make sure your on a 4 wheel dyno or rolling road as you guys call it.

[@dmvfocusrs7591]

I knew you guys would enjoy the car once you drove it more. It almost seems to adapt to whomever is driving it.

[@daytonamart2789]

Just watched Shmee, bored me to tears. You blokes, laughed out loud three times! Loving the content.

[@EVILGT]

Thanks for the comment mate. That means a lot 👍🏼

[@kevinparker461]

Stopped watching Shmee a couple of years back when he said if we got Brexit how was he going to get his Ferrari back to Italy!! Shmee me me!!

[@MobileMartyn]

Good content! Enjoying this as an RS owner. The RS will never be as refined as a BMW/Audi however, as you have discovered, the road holding is just amazing.

[@dawidbarreiro]

Stock RS measures 335hp at the crank. That car is tuned

[@ShalomBrother]

On the money this channel, good crack and nice motors. What more could you want?

[@TylerStout]

From what I've seen around 285 whp +/-5 whp is about normal for the stock car. But there's a lot left on the table. Got one myself in black :)

[@jamiemcknight3158]

Loving the videos guy! You pair together make some cracking content. Just subscribed and I’ve waited almost ever video now. Keep them coming

[@darrenfletcher5414]

15 mins of fun lads, keep them coming!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@EVILGT]

Thanks Darren 👍🏼

[@chrisnic8894]

Strongly suspect that’s running a stage 1 map, a standard car giving more than stock power would be very surprising given others results.

[@johndodd4862]

I agree. It appears to have the Mountune 375 hardware and that is (very slightly) different from what is available from their shop. A good service with a new set of plugs and air filter clean and re-oil might easily pull another 10bhp. I would imagine the inlet valves are pretty coked as well (direct injection issue)

[@ryancox3834]

This video is fucking ace lol. Nice video lads. A pals 400bhp RS couldnt get out of the 14s at santa pod and my 140 consistently ran mid 12s. They are a bag of wank

[@EVILGT]

Cheers Ryan 🙌🏼

[@shaunmartin7123]

I actually thought you two were in a relationship with one another. You've got that look. I can imagine you singing YMCA together.

[@EVILGT]

Next video? 😂

[@samculpan891]

I reckon it is Mountuned, as the standard cars usually run below book power. I think a lot of them dyno at like 320 rather than 345 standard, so near-enough 350 bhp is probably what a 375 is actually running. Love the car though. The colour is just stunning!

[@johndodd4862]

I tend to agree.

[@cauffy]

Love these guys, there like ant and dec of the car world. You deserve all the success that I’m sure will come your way. Look forward to your videos and you are living my dreams when it comes to cars I will never own. Thanks for the vids guys keep it up. 👍🏻

[@EVILGT]

Thanks a lot mate. Amazing comment thank you 👍🏼

[@gordon238]

Try a Dreamscience iMap tune. Simple flash tune makes a big difference and not expensive.

[@wayneowen3400]

Another great video lads, keep it up 👍

[@tonyw3250]

You should of done a before and after on the same dyno

[@EVILGT]

Thought we did?

[@seanoliver4860]

brillaint ive a mk3 rs with only a few mods and running dreamscience ultima v2 can't wait to see what mine makes

[@bobbycav16]

you can back the suspension off using the button on the end of the indicator stalk

[@EVILGT]

We keep the suspension in normal mode and turn it straight off if it goes to sport. This whole video was in normal and we were still bouncing around 😂

[@0161pumaste]

Great video guys! you could get it remapped? but they only get around 380bhp without changing other things like the intercooler, turbo, and injectors. i reccon 350bhp is enough, just make sure you run it on super unleaded as it will perform at its best. i always use shell v-power nitro+

[@jross9816]

You shouldnt really worry about the figures AT the engine.. that never really matters. when you drive you dont feel 340hp. you feel 280 something as thats what is getting delivered to the wheels. good content though, would love to see this thing tuned up proper with some fuel/boost mods. after old mate gets the new clutch in. big ups from AUS

[@ashleypartington9462]

Oh used go gokarting there lads

[@redline_78]

Good video but i would say that either its down on power or that dyno is reading wrong. 289hp plus 15% transmission equals 332hp

[@HammersruleST]

Hi chaps , gotta day this channel is ace. Keep up the good work. You both come across great on camera and bounce off each other as good mates. I love the GTR, what a motor!!!! I would love one of those. Must admit that clicking would drive me mental... hopefully your dealer mate can sort you out and get you out of it and into a new one. Once again keep the content coming, can’t wait for the next one👍🏻

[@simonlowe4013]

Great banter, keep up the good work lads 👊🏻👊🏻

[@EVILGT]

Thanks Simon 👍🏼

[@gbass7328]

Formally Greg F, Yup makes sense for 289whp with the drivetrain loss of 15%. Time for a Cobb AP and a good Protuner not off the shelf map. Then that video and maybe another rolling road dyno session. Really Cheap with that shop!!! YES the RS has a FWD dyno mode. Just look procedure up and have them do that next time to make sure. As soon as you drive off it goes back to AWD. Cheers!

[@3011lee]

Good banter 🤣 although I thought Lee was your dad 🤣

[@nicholastrowler4785]

Love your banter lads and great content. Keep it coming. 👌👍🏻

[@EVILGT]

Thank you Nicholas 🙏🏻

[@ra57scohughes51]

Haha, love these video's, I especially liked the PCP video, although I suspected that "Bellend "was reading from a script when it came to the figures! I had to watch it twice, just to keep up the the millions of pounds he had haemorrhaged over a couple of weeks of car ownership!! FFS Delorean didn't loose that much money. brilliant guys.

The question is, did he buy the breakfast? I think it was a fair assumption to make 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is this a proper RR ... shouldnt the bonnet be open and a fan blowing cool air into the engine ? It was on the RR I went to.

The bonnet wasn’t open but there was a massive fan on 👍🏼

I get a slight knock from the front of mine as well, must be an RS thing lol

Does anyone know what happened to the four wheel drive??

[@EVILGT]

So apparently it knew it was on a Dyno and went into 2 wheel drive mode. There’s a setting to sort it apparently but I’ve no idea how to do it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jdc5697]

@@EVILGT i was thinking thats a fucking good replica at one point🤣

[@DjNikGnashers]

So, this 'legend' was sat on his arse, watching youtube, but couldn't fit you in ...... PMSL ...... Not sure about the big puff of black smoke mate ! Mine didn't do that on the dyno (M140i). 345bhp seems bang on, which would suggest the dyno is reasonably accurate, as a lot over-read as you probably know (bigger numbers sell more remaps), so plenty of scope for 400+ left in just a map : happy days ! Another good video though, thumbs up.

[@EVILGT]

Cheers Nik

[@MrBigSuka]

I bet if you go to Tesco and your bill is £349 you don't round it up to £350 and let them keep it.😂

[@EVILGT]

🙌🏼 😂😂😂

[@Scott555ish]

Video the boost gauge and see how it compares to this standard car. The boost should rise above 5200rpm. If its mountune it may be more linear and higher peak boost. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3-wp6OZisSSaas

[@fasthracing]

Umm that the whole point of a dyno/rolling road to check the power at the wheels!! Otherwise you would not need a dyno/rolling road.

[@mrbennett3791]

I’d love to know what you guys do for a living? Are the cars bought between you as a business or do you buy them each or what ?

[@EVILGT]

We own a media production company. Some are owned by our business and some we own personally 👍🏼

[@deandyce2143]

Good video as usual, I’ve subscribed and watched almost all your videos. You two are good entertainment. Not a true reading in two wheel drive, do it again in Dyno mode. Is the dyno that price to anyone? Would like to get mine on and see what power it is. Cheers Dean. 👍

[@EVILGT]

Thanks for the info and for watching Dean 👍🏼

No intention of selling the RS ... it’s an investment 👌

[@F40pete]

What fuel are you using this makes a big difference on a mapped car

[@EVILGT]

Momentum as advised by the chap at Awesome GTI

Why are so many RS owners so possessive over the brand, it's really odd.

[@EVILGT]

It’s had the same tag forever 😂

[@tracktimevideos5164]

I like an interesting looking motor rather than a bland ten a penny German Eurobox hence owning an impreza and a yellow Renault so silly tags don't bother me. 👍

[@kevinparker461]

@@TheTechGiantKZbin I had a BBR built RS500 Cosworth years ago & was told i should join the local RS owners group. I went to this gathering at a local pub car park, never again!. I won't say too much as it will look as if i think i'm superior, but. There was NO criticism of anything Ford, it was perfect in their eyes & if you did point anything out you were ignored ... i was ignored!

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

@@kevinparker461 Funny enough i was a member of the regional RS owner's club (Bristol) and would often attend meets and shows at Castle Combe with my Cosworth and Escort RS Turbo's (series 1 and series 2).But like you I picked up on the fact that it was frowned upon if you had anything negative to say about the cars. When I jumped from the Fords to Mitsubishi Evo's,well you'd think I murdered someone with the looks I got and the attitude of the Ford members who before had no issue with me. I've been a memebrr of a number of car owners clubs over the years but the RS owners club was by far the worst if you didn't lick the arse off the RS badge 24/7. Now I'm not saying all RS owner's are bad,but there does seem to be a hell of a lot of ex RS onwers who echo my words.

[@nigelbaldwin752]

I have enjoyed watching the banter but would you correct your reference to the term 'mong' as i'm sure it was not intended to be offensive but it is and it is a term i am hearing more and more. Like the videos and all and subscribed but that comment offends . Thanks.
