- Опубликовано: 27 апр 2018
- For millions of people a stock performance oriented vehicle is fin, but for some life is to short to drive a car that is stock. Here is a prime example. This is a 2016 Ford Focus St that is producing 350HP. This is 100HP over what the car came with from the factory. Check out this inn-depth review to see how it was done and what other modifications this Focus ST has.

Nice looking ST...coming from a GTI owner lol. Don't get why sport car lovers hate on other brands. I have a love for many rides.
Steeler Guy 43 I totally echo how you feel. I’ve been saying it from the beginning, I love all cars! Thanks for your input!😊👍🏻
I like all performance car's my 1st hot hatch ride was a 1st Gen GTI we had a ball! Been hooked every since.
I have a Hyundai Genesis and it gets hate simply because it’s a genesis. I like the mustangs but they don’t like me 🤷🏻♂️
Life is too short to have stupid biases =)
I've always preferred domestic muscle cars over foreign but i always thought the genesis was in alot of ways better looking than them till the later years. Really wish the look had caught on more than it did =(. New ones looks awesome too but i prefer the newer camaro/mustangs over it.
This dudes looks like hes 3 seconds away from selling shamies....
sandinista138 sorry I have a passion for cars.
Shamwow!
Yeah, he sells cars, but he's a genuine enthusiast. Raiti likes performance cars, of any kind, from a Fiesta ST to to a GT 500.
He shows you the car, talks about what he likes and dislikes, and takes it for a drive. They're not his car, and they're usually dealer-new. He's not taking them to a race track.
You see the chassis, the engine, and the interior. You hear his opinions.
It's still your job to pick a car that's right for you.
Exactly my thoughts, dude should be selling cars on QVC.
I have an ST with the Mountune MR 300 package and a lot more. But I'm up in IL.
i enjoy your ST reviews, keep em up!
bk138 ST thanks for the compliments! That thing has to be a blast!👍🏻. Please stay tuned for more.
7:12 let's focus on this
oil catch cans mostly prevent dirty oil being recirculated in the turbo air intake, it depends on cars but there's usually a small pipe going from the head to the pipe before the turbo
Thank you so much for sharing that great input and perspective!
Hey Joe past 6 months been a great ride with you, keep up the execellent videos. On another note real sad what Ford just pulled no longer bringing the Focus among other cars to America (except Mustang) Europe however will continue to get next gen Focus.
I
Long, Joseph thanks for the compliment! I’m so glad you are on the journey with me! It’s a damn shame what Ford is doing. Stay tuned for a vlog tomorrow about it.😊👍🏻
Very nicely done!
Since I have subscribed after watching your videos you have convinced me to purchase my own 2018 Focus ST . You feel like a brother to me . I think you are in Florida I live in So California . Some of the questions I might ask you may be different because of that . I am a wrencher probably like you and have quite a few tools . My daily driver prior to my new Focus ST was /is and still have it a Sliver 2002 Nissan Sentra Spec5 2.5 liter 6spd with Getrag Limited Slip Differential stock . Bought it new in 2002 so it is 16years old , live on the beach but it has always been garaged , that makes SO much difference in keeping a car . I have done all the maintenance and repair on my car . My biggest help on this is the code reader and then using Utube videos dealing with those error codes . Upgrades in the replacement parts has helped the car perform much much better than when it was new . Bosch injector replacements and new Bosch Fuel pump make it scream . Purging every other year the brake fluids Clutch fluids power steering fluid all with newest top of the line synthetics have avoided any need to rebuild the very decent brake calipers or master or clutch or slave or power steering unit . Thank god the exhaust on this was the newer stainless steel one . When the struts , shocks and bushings died I upgraded them all with KYBs that I have always been very happy with. Nice but very inexpensive ventilated cross drilled rotors with the appropriate pads have given me brakes on the car that are unbelievable . Best daily driver I ever had . Gonna keep it for now as it has a trailer hitch so I can launch my 12 ft Zodiac boat with it . I am trying to see if there is some way to put a hitch on my new Focus ST. to do that . Any ideas ? If I could do that I am sure some kid would love to have my old Spec5 .
Anyway sorry for the extended conversation . I am trying to figure out what the first mods should be done to the Focus . First off it is WAY too quiet for me stock . I am still reading the manuals that have come with it . Because I was able to put off buying a new car I was able to pay cash for the Focus . I am getting older and so is my family so the new car will allow me to do needed welfare checks of them in Arizona and Colorado this car will allow me to travel quickly and safely and of course make it fun .
Keep doing what you are doing you are making us all happy !
Nice optionlab wheels. I own a set in Gotham black. Good to see a Ford sporting these wheels.
perryrodriguez the owner will be happy to hear that! They really are nice!😊👍🏻
Sweet Looking Whip! Great Job!!
noticed the active grill shutters removed. I love my shutters, lol.
Jake olson good eye! Thanks for watching! I really appreciate!
What is the point of these shutters nowadays? Do they have anything to do with my a/c not cooling after extended idle?
They are for up north where its cold, prevents the intercooler from freezing and getting ice chunks
Patrick Broderick thx,but mines a NA se. (No after cooler) and I’ve driving and maintaining all kinds and sizes of diesels since 82 and I’ve never seen the problem you’re describing.
Bradford, they shut to keep heat inside the engine bay while its warming up, once the engine is warmed up; they open up.
Wow! This thing has as much power as a Focus RS! That's insane!
All it takes is some cash, good parts, and a tune and anything is possible.
Great video, beautiful car
bennny6988 thanks man! She is really quick as well!!!
Great video Joe I had an St and I found it excellent right outta the box. I see you mentioned the value in installing a catch can do you plan on installing one on your RS? I’m debating getting one from Mountune. Congrats on 6 months keep the videos coming.
Harris J thanks for the compliments! I’m blessed to have so many peoples support. That is something I’m going to do over the summer. Stay tuned for more!👍🏻
'13 ST2 with the MP-275 tune package, Quaife LSD, Mountune car-back and Ford Performance track springs. An identical setup pulled 263whp on a dyno. It burns 91 or better and doesn't drive me crazy on long road trips. The insurance guy doesn't worry about me either. I put on Powerstop rotors and pads last year and like them alot. Ford Brake cooling air deflectors and a Mountune turbo recirculation valve a few weeks ago. Always more to think about.
Thanks for sharing that great info from your ownership experience Charles!
What is the 0-60 on the ST on average?
What wheels are on there? Looks pretty nice!
He must have some seriously busy evenings, since everything thats happening is "At the end of the day".. ;-) Nice car btw :)
Unfortunately, the Focus ST is leaving again...Ford announced Wednesday that it won't be sold in the US any more😢
Sirpalmtree yep sad news. I have a vlog coming out tomorrow about that ordeal.
Raiti's Rides Awesome, can't wait!
I'm wondering if this will keep the depreciation value of the current gen from going down as fast.
BeardedHonda it will be interesting to see what happens.
I have a stock 2016 Focus ST2. I'm going to keep for some mods and this week get a 2018 Focus RS. The RS will be better here in Wisconsin during the winter. Since Fore is dropping both lines I think they will hold a bit better resale value.
Ever had a vibration on deceleration around 2500 rpm?
I recently subscribed, and I'm enjoying your videos, thanks for uploading! One suggestion though, you should get a better audio/mic setup. Your voice usually sounds slightly muffled, especially compared to other RUclips car reviewers.
BornToSlay thank you so much for subscribing and for supporting the channel. I’m in the process of getting some new gear. I’ve only had the channel for about 6 months so I’m trying to make do with what I have for now. Please stay tuned for more, because changes are coming! 😊👍🏻
Raiti's Rides Looking forward to it, thanks!
BornToSlay I appreciate it! 😊
Car looks great, love the rims, they suit it well. Still would prefer the RS in the back round :-)
GORGEOUS ST!
My car is a veloster turbo 2016 with EcoBoost.. what is that? More More performance with a cut on more with it of
Sick car man I just got a '15 ST3 and im learning everything i can about modding and im actually looking at the same intercooler, just an obersvation though, why does the intercooler appear to be slightly crooked inside the grille? is that just the camera angle or is that just how it looks?
ThatDudeDarlingTV thanks for watching. It’s totally the angle of the camera. It fits nice and straight.
I personally hate the new rear bumper how that black plastic goes across the whole thing. the 13 and 14 rear bumper was better
Alex Surh that is one thing I would change. I do like how the hood is straight across instead going around the ford emblem!
Yea everything else about the facelift is good!
Agreed, older shape rear bumper with the new facelift would look better
Yes sir!
I like where you are going with that!
Couple questions if i may good sir; owner and forum lurker of a '17 ST.
Did he keep the stock diff or did the suspension set up he has help with the torque steer/wheelhop/spin (not that the former is all that bad as long as your on a clean, even road), also did he change the rear motor mount too? I assume with all that he had a downpipe too. What tuning company did he use or was it custom? Beautiful car didn't know about the rally armor, it looks awesome. and 1000% agree with the catch can I've seen REALLY BAD things about these cars (and this engine and others like it) they do a good job of keeping the oil out of where you dont want it and helps prevent carbon build up. I have literally seen a 25,000 mile FoST engine with a nightmarish amount of carbon, just youtube carbon buildup focus st lol. But anyways that could have been the oil brand, regardless a OCC will ALWAYS help and i have seen, even with other oil brands, decent amounts of carbon build up with ~50K mile engines.
tl;dr - may i have a list of his upgrade kind sir =), OCC's are amazing get one if you dont have one on a turbo car. DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT.
What wheels are on it?
The wheels look great on the black focus.
Chris Mersits I thought so as well! Thanks for watching!😊
Love that tint job is it legal ?
How much horsepower did the tune add
Anybody know what blow off valve this st has ?
dont these have stock turbo ?
I can’t believe the audio quality out the Apple AirPods for recording. Nice work!
Lol, that's my one complaint with the video. Audio sounds like shit. Get a Blue mic...
The name of the wheels ?
What blow out valve did he have on his ST?!?!
What wheels are those???
What is that rims?
Could you tell me what blow off valve he has? I want to get a new one, but all the aftermarket ones I’ve found are loud and ricey.
I know it's a Tial.
It’s a stock turbo right?
Greg Adams I think it might be modified.
it sounds like the vacuum cleaner when the rug gets stuck in it
Big FING Box now that’s an interesting analogy!
That's exactly what it sounded like!
I hear cold air intakes dont make much of a difference because the turbo heats up the denser air, which makes sense when you think about it. Still looks pretty nice. Sleeper?
I have a 2016 ST race red but this black looks wayyyyyyy to insane dude I also want those metal skirts and lips
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Love your channel buddy, my brother and friend have a focus st, and I'm debating on getting one as well. It's either the focus st or fiesta st 🤔
Sephiroth Sora thanks I really appreciate it. That’s a tough choice. If you have any questions let me know! 👍🏻
Both great cars imo i own the 2013 Focus ST race red with ST2 package n love it only thing i did to mine was cobb RMM and American Thunder cat back exhaust ford racing performance short throw shifter inside the car and tinted the windows and put Bravuris 3HM tires on it and the 1552 cup spoilers on the front of it rest was left stock
What wheels are those
I love my focus st
Passed right by my house on pine ridge lol. I have a focus st 2016 black one too I wonder if we have seen each other around.
I bet you we have! Does it have goldish wheels?
No yellow caliper covers
Pump up the turbos, pump up the turbos, dance, dance.
One of the best comments EVER! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
ruclips.net/video/w9gOQgfPW4Y/видео.html
amill1563 I remember that song growing up!😊
Very nice
Mlu Kubone the owner will appreciate it!
I drove a stock st and a stock rs trying to decide which one to go with and I’m gonna go with the st for sure. The rs does not feel any faster at all. It is. You can tell by the speed but the st is so much more aggressive I feel like. Maybe because it’s fwd
What about it feels more aggressive? Just got an ST myself but only because I couldn't afford the RS lol
Powerful ST
Frank Valencia it was a lot of fun to drive that’s for sure!👍🏻😊
Is the suspension very stiff on the rs
Carlos Ochoa in the softer of the two settings no, but when you put the suspension to the stiffer setting it gets rough.
350bhp stock motor?
I have the same intake on mine. Why would he take the heat shield off :/. I also didn't hear anything about a big turbo. Stock turbo isn't putting out 350hp. More like 280 whp with stock turbo.
He said 350 crank and 310 whp. I call bullshit. The stock turbo record is/was on JST's shop car with 309whp and had the AC removed. No way he's making these numbers on the stock turbo
popwarhomie I’m going based off of what the owner is telling me. I’m sorry if these numbers are inflated.
Eric_ST1 I’m just going based off what the owner informed me about. I am not trying to mislead anyone.
hes on a e30 tune without aux fuel so its not a big turbo car .
Raiti's Rides I dont think you are misleading but I think the owners numbers are way too high. Full bolt ons on the ST nets about 280whp on 93 and 290ish on E30.
Thks.
Bruce Kendall yes sir! Thank you fir watching!
Where are you located at in Florida, I'd love to have my unique ST featured...
Yes, I am located in Clearwater. Where are you located? I would love to have you on!
Raiti's Rides over on the east coast near port st lucie, fl
Raiti's Rides my Instagram is SFST14
Corey Imperiale very cool! Can you email me at:
raitisrides@gmail.com
Nice setup, but mine screams on second gear with non forged RS 19" wheels, that one seems to lack that punch.
Carlos C I was a little gentle because it is someone else’s car. Funny I haven’t seen one ST with RS wheels. I wonder why more people don’t do that?
Think an oil catch can is really necessary? I've thought about it but I think the most I would mod my focus st to is a stage 1 Cobb 93 gas tune.
BeardedHonda well I’ve seen even on stock engines they benefit from them.
Raiti's Rides what brand occ are they running on this car?
BeardedHonda he is running a Boomba Racing stage 2 occ! Let me know if you have anymore questions!
Pull off your intake and see for yourself
I'm planning to pick up a catch can system from Damond Motor Sports
What wheels are those?
They are Option Lab wheels! Thank you so much for watching!
Old school Joe!
His catch can on the pcv intake side is not bolted to the bracket .
Ben Jirinec good eyes! I will let the owner know! I appreciate you saying something!
Ford focus is awesome
It is such a great car and a damn shame that they are getting rid of it here in the USA.
Did He void his warranty with the performance upgrades
He blew the gearbox and it was covered under warranty, but it would be interesting to see what happens when there is an engine issue.
My ST ate the tranny around 25k stock.
What camera u use? And mic?
Greg Panchovilla right now I’m making ends meet with an iPhone 7 and AirPods! I’m hoping to upgrade soon!👍🏻
Raiti's Rides the iPhone /cellphones are a good place to start. How does one start to review cars? Especially dealer cars?? Any tips
Greg P. You cold call them.
So what’s faster the ST or your RS?
TheMurph510 stay tuned for an upcoming video!👍🏻🏁
What blow off valve is he running? Definitely not stock. I like the way it sounds.
Az_gunFanatic it’s a recirculation valve numbnuts
LOVE IT ! Whats the 0 to 60?
Great question Luis!
@@RaitisRides Great answer Raitis! Thanks my friend,Just wondering if its worth it all of those mods.
Anybody know his wheel setup !? Rim size and tire ?
Mario Vazquez Jr I’ll find out for you! 👍🏻
Raiti's Rides Awesome thanks man !!
Mario Vazquez Jr no problem let me know if you have anymore questions.👍🏻
did you get the wheel set up?
Raiti's Rides were you able to get the wheel setup?
Looks like he may have shaved the back side of the grill to get more cooling to the engine compartment has anyone else done that ?
That is a great question Ron!
My goal for the summer is getting 400hp for the perfect back WI road ripper.
Does this car outperform your RS
gen3v8 that’s yet to be determined! Stay tune for that review! 😊👍🏻
you need to list what features he has on his car like the tires and the wheels and where he bought them from.
That is a great idea! I will include that in future videos!
@@RaitisRides do you know what wheels Anthony has on his focus ?
I will reach out to him and find out for you!
@@RaitisRides thanks
Yeah !!!
raul lopez yeah yeah 👍🏻
I’m running FBO E30 Tuned by jst performance 282 HP 404 TQ
John Ward well there is some discrepancy here. Dyno runs would enlighten us.
Same Stage 3 E30 on my 17 ST1 and I made 284 HP and 397 TQ. Tune by Panda Motorworks. 350 is only attained by big turbo plus the torque figure will drop some since it won't peak so low. 2867r will get you there without Aux fuel. Throw port fuel at it and run an e50 blend and you can break into the low 400's.
Joseph Paulick you’re 💯 right!😊👍🏻
What rims are those?
I will try to find out for you!
@@RaitisRides have you found out yet
Can someone please tell me this fitment this what I been here for :/
Great question.
How can I contact this guy I have a couple of questions
Great question.
Steeda has been making Focus products before the ST's came out
What mods??
LOL
To the people saying- "he should have just bought a focus rs" its not your fucking money let the man do what he wants and stop pretending to be everyone's personal financial advisor, goddamn dude, if the guy is happy with his car let him be, its a cool car.
What bov?
Tial
@ 3:03 there is oil on the floor under the ST 😂🤣😂😂
I am probably going to say that is condensation from the AC. ;-)
Wheel specs?
Drone Videos here you go:
Wheels are 18x9.5 et +22 tires are stretched. They are 215/40/r18 XL
This is proof that the 2.3 open deck was not the best option for the RS or Stang
So very true! Especially for people that want to mod their motors!
“As you can see this car really stands out” *gestures at aftermarket wheels*
I am taking it you didn't like that? I appreciate your feedback!
Raiti's Rides I think you would have been better off talking about the car as a sleeper instead of saying it was so aggressive looking. The small trim around the bottom of the car is barely noticeable on camera. But it’s not my video so I’m just another dick with an opinion :p
PotatoVlog Hey man everyone has an opinion!
How he made that stu-tu-tu sound?
Steeda makes good stuff
Daily Driver yes they do!🏁🏎
What rims are those? 😍😍
Justyn Whinery glad you like them. They are from Option Lab.
Do you happen to know the size?
Is there an LSD installed on this car?
Muffler or resonator. They serve the same purpose.
Didn’t really look like it had 310hp to the wheels just from what I saw in the video. My ST breaks the Tires loose in 2nd gear on a roll and this car didn’t.. Maybe it’s the suspension he has helping out idk but either way really nice car
Maybe this car had better motor mounts then u and is able to put the power down Z
Eastlake Rd. Nice lol
Reggie S. Yep filmed it right at East Lake High School.
Hi for Germany . Nice St . I own one but never ever say the gear shit is precise , better said decent .
Thank you for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
That is what Lord Vader plan to surprise Luke if he graduates and became a Sith.👌
This is one of the best comments ever! Thank you for helping me smile!
how about doing a honda prelude review and mods
Do you have one!
yes i do have have one a 97 lude pretty much stock engine with cold air intake it is lowered and custom seats nice little ride. it is for my son. I have a lexus rc350 fsport or my son has a ford focus st 2013 if you want do a review on those. let me know.
Mod list
350 with ethanol blend? That fuel system and oem turbo is dead by now.
Who own this st? Does he have any social?
He blew it up a couple years ago!
Now two years later Ford cancelled production of ST and RS’ in North America 🥺😫😫
I totally feel your pain!
The sham wow of cars.
Thanks for watching! By the way it's called passion!
Did he mention that it had a bigger turbo? No way it’s making those power figures on a stock turbo
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
@@RaitisRides How much would you say
he spent on all the MODS, and a aftermarket turbo? Perhaps not a fair question if we don't know what kind of turbo. I am truly curious.
How much more torque does he get because torque pushes walls >:)
Getsumbiatch that’s a great question! I’ll have to ask the owner and find out!
