I was surprised when you guys pulled out a COBB tuner. I thought as always it would’ve been something among the lines of “we called up our friends at Haltech and they made us this $2,000 Elite just for us.”

[@notsofresh8563]

If that focus is like most new cars, the ecu controls everything, including the antitheft, shifting, awd, seat heaters and windows. Haltech can't do this yet.

[@P4YNT3R199]

most new cars have multiple ECU's that control different systems, such as a body control module for things like seat heaters, locks, radio etc. and then one for the engine, gearbox, airbags and so on.

So no ones saying it. Guys. You installed the wrong tune. Stage 1 is an off the shelf map from Cobb. The tunes at the bottom of your map list is your mountune tune. You need that one for max fast.

[@burlyheads]

lol I know. Then immediately after they start talking about dropping in a bigger turbo. Shit the RS will crack the block between cylinders 1, 2 and 3, 4 even with the stock turbo. It's not the power that kills the block though, it's the torque. Once it goes over 400 ft lbs it's only a matter of time before you crack a cylinder wall or the block.

[@mikehuntsayit]

dyno mode sounds like a bit of a good way to cheat power numbers

[@user-neo71665]

inflate numbers because it doesn't count the parasitic lose of the awd system

[@fcknsick]

Schwaglet it is. You're right

[@jakey960]

I agree but gives a base line at least for your mods. Useless for a fair comparison against car.

[@TrueBlueEG8]

That's exactly what it is. Like vw emissions.

Its becuase the center diff overheats and esplodes when you try to do pulls on unlinked awd dynos. Most shops would drop the rear driveshaft

[@sanxi34]

I agree with Marty when he talks about the throttle and the turbos spooling up. That is why I love turbo engines so much on a mountain road, you need to not only prepare the car for braking and turning but also for accelerating. In an NA you just need to apply the throttle, in a turbo you need to spool-up the turbo (more often than not that involves accelerating while left-foot braking to hold speed) and let the turbo spool-up so when you need the boost, you have it already built up

[@MentalTacoDog]

[@DjDolHaus86]

From what I've heard the open deck isn't the source of the head gasket troubles, its something to do with restricted airflow on the exhaust side of the turbo causing enough back pressure to allow hot exhaust gas to get back into the cylinder during valve overlap which then causes knock (air in cylinder too hot during compression stroke causing fuel to auto ignite as soon as it is injected). Apparently the issue mainly seems to occur when the boost is raised too high with the stock turbo, with a bigger, smoother flowing turbo the problem seems not to occur

[@jesselamarche-wehling5482]

6:44 you i think you loaded the wrong tune. Looks like you loaded the off the self Cobb tune not the mountune under the valet mode

[@apache1234657]

I think that montune one is for 93 gas in south africa not 98

[@jesselamarche-wehling5482]

420apache657 mountune is based on the US and I'm Australia they use a different system to measure octane. Our 93 is their 98

[@apache1234657]

do you mean their 93 is our 98 no 93 gas in australia

Australian 98 is equivalent to the US 93.

[@ChazzCoombes]

Brilliant vid guys, have you heared of the bluefin map?

[@gordowg1wg145]

Sorry, but.... NO before any mod's run? I mean before the filter, intercooler, etc for a mechanical base line - using the same wheels/tyres/pressures should negate their effect over the OEM nominal figures. Seems there is an issue with overheating rear diff'assemblies under hard, sustained abuse - even on stock cars - and, as some parts of the country over there can hit 40+C with even higher track temp's, it may be a good idea to check out coolers for it. Oh, the engine uses a weird-as(s) exhaust where the outer two ports run through the head and the centre pair are siamesed for a total of 3 outlets and that may be contributing to known problems with detonation damaged pistons with increased boost.

[@slandon1977]

Might have also been discussed, but the mounting tune is custom, meaning that to really get the right final results you need to do a couple back and forth emails. You drive on their tune for a couple days, and then send a log file of a pull and email it to Mountune. From there they make adjustments, and send you a new tune. This happens a couple times until you get a tune that takes full advantage of your mods but is still safe. I didn't dyno my Fiesta on my stock tune OR my finished version, but I know that I am making more power on my v.3 mountune tune vs my v.0 tune. (the one they send you when you first pay)
