Cheers for watching! Hopefully this provides a little insight in to the long term ownership of one of these cars - particularly one that has been modified. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see 😎

channelDiVeRsE Sure is!

[@Snidey-Man]

@@JBCTRhow much cost all in has the upgrades set you back?

[@simonbussey7530]

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]

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 🤣.

[@Roadwarrior92]

You made it look cooler than stock for sure. Nice subtle mods 👍

[@JBCTR]

[@joshmarsh95]

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. :-)

Great video and great to see all these changes over the past year, it's a really good fiery unassuming car! Bit of a side note but where did you get your Ford Performance reg plate borders from?

[@JBCTR]

Blackwall Studios Glad you are enjoying them! Plates are direct from Ford 👍🏼

[@mattmcmanus2384]

Matt Mcmanus Both runs taken on the same dyno, about 9 months apart. There is a video of the last Dyno too 👍🏼

[@harrisj2278]

Excellent video it’s a slippery slope modifying cars because it’s very easy to ruin the characteristics and main reason you fell in love with the car to begin with. I’ve just put Revo software on my MK3 RS and still unsure of how I feel about it. Keep the videos coming

[@JBCTR]

Exactly - it's easy to lose sight of where you came from! I'd really like to enhance the characteristics of the original car as opposed to replacing them.

[@JBCTR]

Kevin Parr Nope, not fixed yet! I will get it done one day... it sagged but then didn’t really get any worse.

[@Doozeh]

feel like you have done very well with how this car looks considering how controversial the MK8 is, smashed it!

[@malikchaney5331]

Dont know what the controversy is i wish the us got it

[@johnpardo4695]

I just bought a ST-3 which i pick up next week.

[@shartak5020]

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]

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 :)

[@alexwignell5551]

Nice mods 👍

[@rgcsc]

Love the video’s you’ve done a great job with the mods have fitted the low line kit and rally flaps they look great as you say the rally flaps as well as look good they should help protect the paint work thanks for giving us the update look forward to the next one

[@JBCTR]

rgcsc Cheers mate 👌🏼

[@chriselse515]

Ha I'll be in Basingstoke in the next month I might give the dyno a go, as my car feels more then the 225 mountune quote. 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.

[@JBCTR]

chris else Good to hear you are back and loving it! Let me know your results, I’ll be intrigued to hear 😎

[@jordanbye9102]

What engine work did you need to have mate??? Didn't the mountune m225 affect warranty

[@chriselse515]

@@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_]

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]

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 :)

[@Michelv1991]

I really enjoy your videos! Keep them up. I'm also Driving the Fiesta MK8 ST3 in the performance blue color. Love the little thing. Not really in to modding, but i think yours still looks great with the small modifications. Myself I might also replace my fog-lights. Never understood why they place yellow bulps in them while using the LED headlights...

[@JBCTR]

Michel Verbaas Thanks mate! The fogs may be the start of a very slippery modification slope haha!

[@DeathbyB1nary]

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.

[@JBCTR]

Cyrus Bebensee Thanks mate 😁

[@Maca0716]

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

[@JBCTR]

Maca0716 All about the rev match 👌🏼 the best overrun is to be found there haha

[@Froseization]

What about the lowering springs you installed ?

[@jakemccloud8368]

Love the vids! Really making me want to trade in my mk3 octy vrs for a fiesta st. You have done a fair few upgrades but i was wondering what your thoughts were regarding warranty?

[@JBCTR]

Jake McCloud They all affect the warranty in different ways!

[@pieterr683]

Nice vid mate! How much torque did it make when it put down 252hp. I would like to do the same mods to my mk8 st, which powermod do you recemend to do first ?

[@JBCTR]

Pieter R Just over 300 ftlb 👍🏼 for power, definitely the Revo software. It can be run on a stock car.

[@Cougarsamurai]

Sync 4 announced last week. Starts appearing next year.

[@JBCTR]

Cougarsamurai Woohoo! 😬

[@GuruJoshProject101]

Hey! Nice video mate, could you please tell me how many miles did you do with 260+ hp? Did you have any huge engine problems?

[@JBCTR]

Thanks - Hard to say exactly as the modifications have been added gradually over the past year or so. Current mileage on the car is approaching 20,000 and the Revo software has been on for over 10,000 of those miles.

[@autodetailyorks]

Nice video yet again.👍 I know its personal choice, but get rid of these rally flaps. 🙈 Regards the dyno, what fuel where you using? Might of got a bit more on a higher octane. Would you now say the intercooler is worth the £500+ for no gain?

[@JBCTR]

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.

[@alexallkins6968]

Car looks great man. What spacers have you got on there ? I have a mk7.5 and what to achieve a similar look.

[@JBCTR]

Alex Allkins Theyre 20mm all round. Did a fitting video here if of interest. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6jWhoydhaurZ5I

[@Tehsheeeep]

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

[@JBCTR]

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!

[@jonathantaylor3750]

Looking at revo stage 1 and the new engine mount you did. Would you recommend this on a car that’s didn’t have the PP?

[@JBCTR]

Hey! Yup, it’s still awesome. You may get a little more wheel spin but there are plenty of cars without the PP running the software.

[@malagutino]

Did you have the Milltek-exhaust before or After the 262hp? What fuel you are Running? Heard a lot that the Milltek eat some HP....

[@JBCTR]

malagutino 99 RON fuel and both runs had the Milltek on. I’ve not heard of people losing HP with a GPF-back before :)

[@malagutino]

JB CTR tanks, was something else fitted After the first run?

[@EmilWilkensRC]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

[@TheJeremyevans]

i wonder if 'tubodynamics' have come up with a hybrid turbo for the mk8 yet. i had to wait 18 months for them to develop it for the 1 litre ecoboot.

[@JBCTR]

TheJeremyevans Looking forward to what they come up with 😉

[@jordanpaok8685]

@JB CTR What about the engine ? Is it reliable ? And avg fuel consuption?

[@JBCTR]

jordan paok Had no problems. Averaging around 40mpg 👍🏼

[@samvessey9643]

Do any of the modifications that you have done void the Manufactures warranty ?

[@JBCTR]

Sam Vessey Some of them impact the warranty, but most of them have their own warranty with the manufacturers if they go wrong.

[@bulskyne]

There is an update that you need normally for the intercooler as it is bigger than stock one.

[@JBCTR]

[@BoCosworthJensen]

[@PaullyG]

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.

[@JBCTR]

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.

[@h3althpoints697]

[@19marshall80]

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]

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

[@terryvoss3436]

Why do you use spacers to increase the track width and not just get wider wheels?

[@JBCTR]

Honestly? Spacers are cheaper. I did eventually get wider wheels. There is a video on that :)

[@rhysholley8289]

How have you found modding the mk8 with. GPF? Thought having a GPF would make an aftermarket exhaust pointless but in your case it’s seems not 🤷‍♂️

[@JBCTR]

Less of an issue than I thought it would be!

[@PsychoPablo]

[@sayhimali6384]

what wrap have you used on the head lights?

[@JBCTR]

No wrap - they are completely stock :)

[@ilpatongi]

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]

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]

@@JBCTR Thanks! What do you think of the motor mount now that many months have passed? I've just recently bought the MK8 ST and I'm interested in modding it like you did, I've also seen your posts on Reddit so I know you're pretty active on this stuff

[@JBCTR]

Jeremy Clarkson The motor mount is a great upgrade. It makes a real difference (I did a video if you’ve not seen it!) There have been some failures on them, but I’ve not been affected by them 👍🏼

Its stupid how US dont get Fiesta and Focus ST anymore.

[@JBCTR]

I agree. They're great cars.

[@chrisfilmsstuff4666]

Is this standard ride height or has it been lowered? Cheers

[@JBCTR]

The car is lowered on 20mm springs and 20mm spacers. Lowering springs fitting is below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4qzl4Z_f7-XsLM

@@JBCTR Thanks for the response!

Hi Jonny! Love all of your videos, it is you that gave me an idea to modify my own FiST, also thanks for DIY videos, I'm sure it prevented some broken plastics during bulb changes :D Can you tell me, how the MPG looks after REVO and before? Did it increase or decrease?

[@JBCTR]

Phercan Glad you are enjoying them! The Revo software increases the fuel economy if you can drive is sensibly. Hoon it, and it’ll decrease it 👍🏼

[@istevieee]

To be honest I used to get rattles in my '18 Mini JCW within a few weeks and that car was just over £30k

[@JBCTR]

Yeah, unfortunately I think it's a modern car phenomena.

[@jamesjack6769]

I wonder what the long term longevity of that three pot will be, especially when you tune them?

[@jordzz174]

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

[@jamesjack6769]

@@jordzz174 Might be comparing apples and pears but a 5GT Turbo I bought new in 1985 covered 60k in three years with no engine issues and that was with the wick turned up and a nitrous kit.

[@jordzz174]

There not made they they used to made them, due to emissions they get properly choked up.

[@davetaylor5926]

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]

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]

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]

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]

my car has an oil leak as well its been in the local ford garage 2 months im losing the will to live .Where is your leak mate?

[@Pedro-ku1wt]

@@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.

[@lemmykoopah]

Hey pedro did your car also smell through the ventilation?

[@Pedro-ku1wt]

@@lemmykoopah Nope

[@Thomas-wg3ls]

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.

[@Nick-oh5dd]

yo, what fuel are you using ?
