A ride along I won't forget🔥 Let me know in the comments if you love the sounds of this Turbo Figo

Ill never forget the drive I got in this car! One thing that must be said. Ricardo is one of the most genuine down to earth people Ive come to meet. The beastliness of his figo compliments him well. Too epic to check the both of you in that car Brandan. What a video!

Brother I can't agree more the ride was great but Ricardo as a whole is incredible, not stingy in sharing knowledge and info and definitely knows how to drive that car at its best🔥

Just bought a 2012 Ford Figo white a couple of months ago.. I'm loving the turbo and the sound. I've always wondered what the setup and sound would look like. Thank you so much and share more if you can

I'll have to make an updated video with Brandan. This was my old setup. Stock internals, t25 turbo, 310cc Injectors.

Well done a more in depth video when Ricardo is done with the updated version. I'm sure he doesn't mind sharing 🔥

This setup is crazy!. Would love to get some info about reliability after the turbo, Costing of the build and possibly consumption if the owner would like to share.
@H1TMAN9309272 күн бұрын
0.6 bar on standard internals was 100% reliable which is as is in the video, just uprated Injectors needed. Had a 2nd setup with lowered compression and more boost. Ran up to 0.8 with no issues. 0.9 I ran into issues. Piston ring failures.

With the updated version we'll take some time to go through the build properly 🔥

Brother the Figo leaves a hole in the heart that can't be filled. Ricardo's one just makes that hole feel a lot bigger

I love Ricardo's figo. He keeps telling me i must turbo my rally/race figo. I must talk to him.
@BrandanHewittКүн бұрын
Definitely brother this car really hits the spot where the N/a Figos are dead. It keeps pulling and that was on a T25 Turbo on stock internals

Ricardo is almost done with the 1.6 version of this and then we'll make a full in depth video of what all is done. I lost. A lot of the footage of that day we filmed so just wanted to put something together of what I had

He didn't have any issues running the car at 0.8 bar boost he only had issues when he went up to 0.9 and he was beating on it quite regularly 😂

We need more details on this build please. What's done inside the engine, management, is it a bolt on kit and most important has it improved on the top speed?
@BrandanHewittКүн бұрын
It has improved top speed yes, factory limiter has been removed, as far as I know it's on a dictator for fueling, not a bolt on Kit, Ricardo built the turbo manifold and boost piping himself

I drove a 2011 Figo last year for 6 months. It's the only car that has left a lasting impression on me. This is coming from someone that has driven plenty of small cars, including the Polo Vivo, Nissan Micra and the Suzuki Swift. All these cars don't hold the candle to the Figo's handling, power delivery and the steering feel. I sometimes wonder what the Fiesta ST is like.
@BrandanHewitt17 сағат бұрын
The Figo is a brilliant car for its price. Yes performance could've been better on the N/A 1.4 petrol but they are overall great cars especially handling with factory suspension. The ST is great but really wish Ford South Africa would've at least attempted a EcoBoost Figo in this shape

@@BrandanHewitt im in the process of turboing my 2018 figo. Problem i got is routing the intake coz I'm going to have to mount the turbo at the back of the engine. Im also looking just for 200nm, so a 50nm increase
@BrandanHewitt18 сағат бұрын
Your going to have to build a log manifold and route the boost piping up and over the valve cover like Ricardo unless your going to relocate the battery to the boot then you'll have space
