The 530bhp Focus RS From HELL!!

[@qhawe4098]

Had to show up here again in Dec2024. what a machine and review! 👌

[@shravanav993]

The pops from the exhaust is glorious

[@iCozzh]

Pops and bang map= chav.

[@tracktimevideos5164]

@@iCozzh is a Jaguar XFR or Ftype R chav then? These cars have pops and bangs as standard, many modern performance cars do.

[@iCozzh]

@@tracktimevideos5164 pop and bangs are completely different from some twat in a 1L fiesta and a jag lmao grow some more iq points bud

[@LukeBeasto]

@@iCozzh But this is a 2.3 Focus? So your point is moot. Remember Ford engines were used in Jag’s for years.

[@tonyw3250]

Great video, but next time a few more details on engine, like what turbo? what's been done to the internals etc. cheers

[@kharisterling550]

i realize I am kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to stream newly released series online?

[@claymoses9629]

@Khari Sterling I watch on flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@Beardchanics]

Gorgeous Focus RS, thanks for reviewing it.

[@aaronstainer7245]

awesome I have been talking to the guys at devil developments last few days cant wait to get my rs in there 👍👍👍👍👍

[@tracktimevideos5164]

Love it, looks like it kicks out some fumes though, decat I guess.

[@SeanMclaren]

Will be the injectors

[@oioi873]

That exhaust smoke nah

[@michaelhesford5191]

About time you reviewed a decent car 😅

[@mcspeedypantsjr5713]

Yeah, what's with all the hatchback shite lol

[@michaelhesford5191]

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

that looks crazy fun👍 think the fumes are to do with all that fuel being shoved into it, look at nissan gtrs they do the same thing cheers steve 👍 😀

[@gbass7328]

What is that rear wing gurney flap added on?? Really a perfect size!

[@RB-ny5lh]

Id like to know as well

[@Erkii175]

Looks like the Mountune carbon one

[@gbass7328]

@@Erkii175 I don't think so bc the MT one surrounds the OE lip. But thx....

[@RSCOZZY]

Great video. I come from a family of ford's, and have a sapphire cosworth very close to me - as the name suggests. Exceptional editing, and very down to earth commentary. No BS in this. Please feature some older fast ford's in the future. I would love that. We are gonna be visiting Devil developments in the very near future with the Sapphire! All the best 👍🍻

[@gamma8212]

Looks like brilliant fun 😃 awesome car mate 👍

[@motor_head]

mine has no fuel pump mods or uprated cams but does have all the usual bolt on mods and a bigger Precision NX2 turbo, the dyno registered 466bhp and 480 ft lb

[@nigelsmith3144]

Tangmere West Sussex! Shout out to Freshlayers!

[@MarkRasmussen-hh9rw]

what wheels are these? they look awesome and would love a set on my white focus.

[@pauljamieson803]

Could we find out what you have exactly done to achieve this outcome?

[@derekporter66]

drag vs your m140i

[@daveyb89]

Anyone else thinking this isnt the quoted power figure, its seems rather lathargic,

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

i did think that the mountune m520 seems to be of a animal compared to this🤔

[@daveb2300]

Agree! I had a car dyno’d at devil developments and the figures were inflated plus I later found out they don’t strap it down correctly. (This was a few years back though).

[@sc0tt1eb0y]

Goals

[@darllapham8672]

Too slow on acceleration not 530 lol, and the white wheels just look chav. Infact the whole car looks chav, and I have been an RS enthusiast from Mk 1.

[@evanwilliams5765]

Great vid Luke, devil developments are sickkk 🔥 that st is wicked 🤩 once again we’ll done m8 ❤️

[@robinangell8646]

Was it a standard head ???

[@grezza3421]

White wheels look nice, shame about the curb rash. Just a query, seems quite smoky under acceleration, what's the cause of this?

[@martinhack1368]

No joke the car fires flames... So burnt fuel I would say, the vid doesn't show it, was also a very cold and damp early morning

[@LukeBeasto]

@@martinhack1368 are you sure it isn’t the injectors?

[@26DX047]

Is it running stock ecu? :-)

[@daverogers7512]

Yep 👍

[@lastnamefirstname520]

Dave rogers surely its just the hardware. It is mapped though

[@daverogers7512]

@@lastnamefirstname520 of course but the goal was not to have an aftermarket ecu.

[@MJC-GSXS750]

[@ThomMurphy]

So just fuel pump and injectors, no auxiliary injection? Which Turbo setup? Recommend for future such videos you share the dyno graph, so we can see the curve. I'd also like to see a build list. Devil Developments links to this video on their site, but dosen't list details of the car, anywhere. The only reference to "stg 4", is for a particular map, no forging, turbo, etc. Who puts in a LSD and clutch, but dosen't upgrade at least they syncos, if not the forks? Also, IMO, this car needs better brakes with this power. Owner mentioned going on track. Do they mean strip or circuit? That power, stock brakes on a circuit is a waste, like a super yacht, on a tiny pond. I'm also curious, for the street, what tire they're running, and if they have modified the torque output through the rear (via software), or if that is still stock.

[@daverogers7512]

Yes std injectors with DD 500bar DI pump The cars is a road car and std brakes with ds2500 pads work fine for my driving As for syncros they have been fine for 30,000 miles And has been running over 420bhp since new But I do change gear probably 😊 so if it isn’t broken then don’t fix it. Dd has spent months doing this file and diff controll Since doing this car they have done quite a few Remember that dd was the first to get 500/600/700 and 800bhp out of the mk3 rs and did all of the r&d for the syvecs pnp kit And most of the big power mk3 cost over 25k This car was used to get a good amount of power with a modestly priced package.

[@robinangell8646]

@@daverogers7512 Hi Dave Do you still have the car , just curious how it drives etc, I'm quite close to devils

[@j_dlos]

will i get any benefit from upgrading the pistons on the stock block of an rs or not worth the rod upgrades?

[@Taylor40667]

420 max on them Some people say 400 Some 450 So unless your above 400 dont bother there good enough

[@keiranwilliams8001]

Luke I have one question. Are these brutal stock? 😅

[@hampshirephoto]

In my opinion, yes

[@sixty94lyf]

😂😂😂😂

[@Taylor40667]

Revving it like that with 70.c coolant? 🙄 Let alone oil

[@x58evo2puma7]

Mine got the upgraded fuel pump and nx2 turbo and made 480hp and 608mn of toque I can’t see this is the power they saying it is and no upgrade breaks like I have on mine due to big power

[@samuelriester1419]

His will be on some sort of ethanol mix or water/meth injection on the numbers he'd talking. Those numbers won't happen on the pump.

[@Scott555ish]

Great power. But I would be really annoyed and embarrassed with that level of over fuelling at peak torque.

[@freddieb1903]

😍

[@gbass7328]

What fuel was he running?

[@hampshirephoto]

99RON pump fuel

[@ArrioChoi]

[@bobbythompson3544]

What did he say?

[@evanwilliams5765]

RS not ST

[@warriormonx]

Just found this from 3 years ago. Obsservations are a) this isn't a 500hp atw car (no e85 so not happening) b) it would have thrown a rod by now without forging and c) the stock 3-4 synchros would have sh@t themselves with the aftermarket Comp clutch

[@Ste_mozza]

Still sounds poo!! 😂

Why are you wearing masks in a car together when you can't see? What's more dangerous.. RS Central!
