Jamie's Electric Orange Focus ST

[Brettles1986]

Just orange shite you prick, Fords are top dog

[Jamie]

Just purchased a PumaSpeed inlet;

New Larger Bore Entry and Exit Ports
Fully Tapered design
Fully Flow tested against all the competition to give 6% more flow. at 7000 revs and 20 PSI
Buy direct from the manufacturer and save.
Elevate the performance on all Volvo C30 and Focus RS / ST

NEW UPDATED DESIGN.
Larger Intake Port 68-69mm vs 65 OE and Mountune
Larger Trumpet and Port Dimensions for better Flow for big Power cars.

The PUMASPEED Tapered Intake Manifold for the Focus RS 2009 Mk2 and ST225 just got better. Updated with a 68-69mm larger inlet mouth and 5 larger outlet trumpets this new design will flow more than ever.

Bit of an accident tbf, I wanted it but thought I'd cancelled the snipe last night... apparently not I blame it on the bloody beers.

[Jamie]

&&&&&&& Shazam it arrived! few obligatory pictures of what awaits fitment! Just need to save a few pennies for an elevate top pipe and other bits for the RS box to complete that and then a cooler.

Hey G how you going? Thanks dude, it's alrighty haha!

What you been up to with the fez? I wouldn't get the Focus you'll spend a fortune on upgrades lol! Once you have more boost you want more and more! the torque is insane though I'll say that oh and the bloody noise!

[Ocego_VTR]

im fine thanks you? Ive driven 2 modified ones like yours they do shift and sound the nuts! its the mpg that worries me on them and as you say the bhp itch oh and there still getting stolen round here haha.

Just got a exhaust manifold for it and a few other bits from ford like armrest etc also in getting it into work for tidying up too, dont know if i can part with it tbh lol.

Good to hear mate! I'm not bad cheers just plodding along as usual. They do certainly shift lol! It's annoying they get stolen a lot luckily for me it's more a face-lift thing for easy takings! If someone wanted mine they'd have to lift it over the top of a Ford Ranger lol!

Nice, they do quite alot for the mk6, cossworth inlet looks niceee! If you're not ready to part with it don't, made that mistake with a few cars now, plus if you got a Focus sure it will be very quick but like it's quicker at emptying your wallet lol!

Update

I just got my inlet on today! Car feels much better. Pulls harder much harder actually, funny because people don't think they make that much difference bhp wise but I definitely feel the difference, plus most go for the Autospecialists cheap one, which is nice but not as good technically as the one I have bought



Spec engine wise

Denso irridiums
K+N pannel
Dreamscience stategem DSCi map
Baileys DV26 dumpvalve
Pumaspeed inlet plenum
Full 3" turbo decat back Cobra Venom system

Next is airbox on, new cooler, 440cc injectors and new map.

[Jamie]

Brief wipe down, needs a propper detail but I'll wait until I get an induction kit on, probably going to sell the mountune after all that. CBA with the hassle, I'll need to throw at least another couple of hundred to get it fitted. Will have a proper think.*

Got home tonight and gave her a wee clean. Can't wait to correct the paint in the summer as well as sort the bumpers out (scuff on rear *not my doing*, lacquer peeling on front). Annoying because bar needing paint correction she's actually mint and just shy off 50k.

3 musketeers lol.

Rear before drying, backwards like that...

[PastyVTR]

I hate to break it to you because it'll probably really annoy you as it would me, but i'm pretty sure your rear number plate is slightly off ? Angles down to the left ?
Other than that, nice job with the clean.

Haha nicely spotted dude I'm already aware but I cba to separate my plate from the surround and then put it all back atm lol

What're you doing with the 180? Sorry if you've already mentioned!

I haven't mentioned I don't think mate haha. Well I'm just too lazy to sell it. It needs new top mounts and a clutch as the release baring started to go literally the day before I got my ST which I could not believe.

So anyway rather than fork out fixing it, or selling it cheaper as it is I've decided for now to leave it sitting where it is.

I've decided it looks nice in the corner of the drive lol. I like it too much to sell it cheap, and tbh I'm not sure really how I'd price it. I wouldn't sell it for 1500 or even 2k as that's what shitters go for and my alloys and tyres have to be worth 600 alone. Buuuuut who's going to pay nearly 3k for a 206 nowdays...

Maybe one day it will rise in value like other Pugs, even though people don't like them if they compare them to a 205 which it would utterly destroy.

It's a dilemma especially with the wheels (were brand new, tyres are pretty much unused I did something like over 1k on alloys and tyres from memory lol!! and my rare headlamps) it's all a faffffff.

[Jamie]

Since the weather has been improving so has the temperature. This is not good for an ST fitted with a factory fanny sized intercooler with just a remap let alone with my shizzle.

Anyway with that in mind, I sold my RS airbox setup because it's too faffy to install for my liking. After all that! It can be done relatively easily, but I worked out it would have cost me in total around £400+. It looks great and oem but I can have a CAIS which will be similar in performance just not retain that factory look OR go group A open cone with some ram feeds to it for half the price.

I've gone for an Airtec stage 2 with RS scoops and it's in on Saturday.



Pic below is the difference in size bar mine isn't a stage 1 so is taller but it will show how small the measly stock ST jobby is.



I've also gone for stainless (not black) don't want chips in the paint and I didn't opt for the airtec logo.

I like the look of the Ranger, are they shit like the old ones or have they made an effort this time?

It's quite a good motor tbf for a truck, it's got a good amount of kit on it. Favourite thing about it probably is the rear view camera which displays in the rear view mirror but you'd never be able to tell there was a screen or something in the mirror until it's on lol.


Update

Airtec stage 2 cooler fitted at AS on sat. Guys at AS as per usual were great. The car feels muchhhh more responsive now especially today when usually it would struggle until the air cooled down in the evening. Also had my Turbosmart recirc fitted.

Soon front bumper will be rectified and a new front tray fitted. Next though, induction system and block mod for the peace of mind.

After this, I think I'll be going RS injectors, new map and then get it handling better over time. Oh and RS clutch. It's got eibach pro springs but they aren't obviously enough now. I'd love a set of black Ksport 8 pots too in the future.

Update on spec;

Dreamscience DSCi
K+N Pannel
Denso irridium plugs
Airtec gen 3 Stage 2 intercooler with RS scoops
Pumaspeed fully tappered inlet (Larger Intake Port 68-69mm vs 65 OE and Mountune)
Baileys DV26 dumpvalve
Turbosmart recirc valve
Full Cobrasport Venom turbo back
-3" Cobra sport downpipe
-3" Cobra sport decat pipe
-3" Cobra sport Venom (no back box)- decat back


Chasis

Eibach pro kit
Bryshifter
Auto specialists torque mount
Bridgestone Potenzas

Aesthetics

Zunsport grilles
Plate relocation *maybe temp*
RS parts rear diffuser
DMB (custom) gel ford badges

[SimpleJoee]

Mmmmmmm tasty.

[Jamie]

After some thinking about what induction kit I wanted since I've sold the MT box, I've gone and purchased a Auto specialists CAIS with orange hoses and the black AS ECU holder (the obvious choice) haha.
*
I really wanted the noise from the open cone group A but it goes against anything I've read and said and if I'm going to modify, it's got to be for the maximum gain I can get.

Noise doesn't make you go faster after all, although you'll sound faster!
**






Last night I decided to start cleaning my bay, it's not anywhere near done by any means but a strong start. I also removed the sound deadening, looks nice and I can hear my car sneezing more lol.*

Next plans, block mod - bumpers sorted - brakes painted (no funky colours) MAYBE a Tripple R front splitter depending on what I can come up with for parking lol. After that RS clutch.

[Jamie]

Continuing my cleaning spree I decided to take off my front slam panel and feed for more cleaning after work yesterday. I noticed the lock mechanism was covered in 7 years worth of crap in progress I kind of messed up the rest of my bay but nothing a quick wipe down after couldn't fix.



As you can see a wipe shows just how grim it looked!



Getting there....



Shazaaam



Still much work to do but it will be worth it at the end. More intricate parts need cotton buds which I shall be acquiring as I ran out the day before haha.

Back together, note the yellow behind my grille lol it's a microfibre drying towel I put on top of my intercooler to stop grime getting on it and I forgot to take it out iFail! Still one good thing about my missing under tray is that I could just reach up and grab it lol!!!

[Jamie]

Yesterday got my new Autospecialists CAIS fitted.

Here is the kit;











Car is really quick now and tbf I definitely notice a huge difference since I've got this on! The stock airbox really does feel like it limits the performance. They say 300bhp is max output on the stock airbox and since I should be onwards of that I guess I should expect the difference!

Next plans block mod, RS clutch, 440cc injectors and a new map.
