Project Car Fiesta ST Gets COBB Stage 2! Before/After Dyno
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- With 3,600 miles on the odometer, we take cameraman Thaddeus's 2014 Ford Fiesta ST in to COBB Tuning SoCal for the first-ever Stage 2 upgrade. We got an intercooler, cold air intake and their new off-the-shelf map for the V3 Accessport, then threw it on the dyno to see the very impressive results. All parts are prototypes and therefore will not look as pretty as the finished products, but they certainly work!
Check out www.cobbtuning.com for more details
cant wait to watch stage 10. 800 hp running on e85, 50 lbs of boost, torque steering in 6th gear.
I legitimately laughed at this, hahaha
Haha, it'll sound like a vacuum at 50 psi! WWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSH-PSSH-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH-PSSH
They could always do what Mighty Car Mods in Australia did and just keep throwing boost at that stock block until it explodes!
😂🤙
🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️😆😆😆 great comment bud!!!
Seems like a nice little bang for your buck deal, and it also seems like this thing would be an incredibly fun daily. haha.
Great video.
Definitely...
-legit Recaro seats
-5 door practicality
-30+ mpg
-and a warranty
I see you comment of every single video I watch. Love your mustang btw.
It's youtube and cars man haha. Thanks!
I always think that this is what Honda should have done with the CR-Z... I need to go test drive this Fiesta ST as my RSX-s is feeling it's age now.
I like your videos! The 4 door turbo civic piece was great!
210WHP from a 1.6 liter with 270 torque at the wheels? That's fucking insane. It's good to see an American company trying to compete by not making a non shitty car.
The Fiesta ST wasn't designed in the US. The only thing Ford makes here is the trucks and SUVs
Aaaaand it’s gone
I can't help but think that a car like this Fiesta ST is the most fun to drive in the real world. I believe that fun-wise, it will hold its own even when compared to supercars like the McLaren P1. I've driven quite a few fast cars back in the day and now this is the conclusion I've come to. Well done Ford, for keeping the hot hatch segment alive.
Man, I've had my eye set on a FieSTa to replace my Turbo Neon for a while now. It's nice the FieSTa is as underrated in power as it is because it probably makes 10hp and 20tq more than my Neon does 8 years and 110,000 miles later. All while being like, 300 pounds lighter too.
@CarFreak I ended up getting that Fiesta ST and I love every second of driving it. Granted, the NSRT-4 was an awesome car too, but I resonate much more with the Fiesta. Props to every NSRT-4 that's still out there wrecking it on the 40 rolls haha
I just started working for Ford selling the product..
I drive a Fr-S and.. have to say, i am blown away by the Fiesta St, had it come out sooner im not sure which id take.. theyre both awesome cars, but damn the Fiesta St is a blast!
Another great video Matt! On a different note, how much booze do you consume to dull the embarrassment and anger you feel while reading the comments on your videos?
What was the deciding factor that made you choose the fiesta over the focus? And how do you think the cobb packages will affect the longevity of the vehicle?
When is Cobb going to release more parts for this car? Catless downpipe? More stuff?
This would be a mean little unit to drive. I think the next upgrade should be two 86mm turbo's and a 400 shot of Nitrous though, I wanna see this thing beat Tom Baily at the next drag week.
Because of you sir... I got my Ford Fiesta and I love it! Thanks Matt! I got the mod bug and this is definitely on the list.
loved this series Matt, just out of curiosity, how much in total did all the COBB 3 Stage mods cost?
im liking these vids of the ST man...keep this shit up!! cant wait for stage 3
You keep making the Fiesta ST look so good. So much potential form that little power house, makes me want one more. Though, with the upgrades, have you guys noticed any significant changes in fuel economy, or massive torque steer? Also, besides from the stage 3 kit, what are some plans for project Fiesta? Can't wait to see more.
Damn I bet that's a fun@$$ ride! Any idea on how the mods have affected fuel economy around town, just with regular driving or highway cruising?
Man, over 200whp in a Fiesta has to be an absolute blast to drive. I had a ball in the 125hp base model rental Fiesta, I can only imagine what likely a full 100+ more HP at the wheels would be like.
Stage 2 u need a downpipe now its just stage 1+ put some good fuell in
I'm a huge fan of these little cars--that low-end torque is awesome. Really looking forward to seeing more vids on this!
Somebody's driving that car real hard. Look at the brake dust on the front wheels
100% Unavoidable with these cars, no matter how lightly it’s driven
Can't wait to see what it does on the track. Maybe you should upgrade the tires as well
having a V1=good, plugging it in=BETTER!
I noticed that too!
What do you mean plugging it in?
The turbo back and protune are going to blow your doors off. That's where the gold is hiding.
Why don't you guys just Add A AEM water/methanol kit on It And gain A good 70 hp In stock trim .=)
When us stage 3 coming
Never apparently
Hey I'm sure it's been asked but which intake and intercooler did you guys use? I'm looking for the same things you guys got but for my fiesta ST. Thanks in advance!
I've been watching Matts videos since I was in high school and he is the reason why I got into cars. Always answers questions and consistently providing good material. Matt to my eyes is a legend.
thanks.
Dude finally!!!! Ive been itching for part 2 a while now. Great vid and keep up the good work. :)
YES FINALLY!!
Wish I had a lift. Really low RPM torque, car would be great with a inexpensive 16G turbo with good midrange for DD still.
Great daily car.... Matt still have the volt? This and a c5 vette too I think. I saw a video, if I remember he got rid of the raptor? I'll have to get one in a few years as a beater
I just got a 2015 fiesta st. Coming back and seeing these numbers is crazy. I'm in a cold Wisconsin climate, car has CPE intercooler, intake, catless DP, full straight pipe. It has a stratified 93 octane stage 2 (I think somewhat custom tune by previous owner) and it pulls like crazy. I want to get on a Dyno soon and see what it's making, I bet it's 220+ whp and 270-280wheel torque if we base it off of the colder temps and such up here.
Can't wait to see the Stage 3! That's pretty badass Matt!
Man... These people on the comments are nuts... Loved the video! I honestly don't like ford but the fact is that whoever talks about the fiesta AFTER driving it loves it so I guess its a great car, I wish I can have a ride on one and feel what everyone is talking about...
Out of curiosity, is there a reason you don't hardwire your V1? Do you not run the RD full time in the Fiesta ST?
The Smoking Tire Really want to buy the little st! I know Mountune makes a ford- warranted ecu upgrade, and that they partnered with Cobb to do it. Any word on whether these Cobb tunes would maintain or break Ford warrantee? Cost on stage 2 upgrade?
I want to see what this thing does with a full exhaust. Id bet 300 tq and 235-240whp
nice to see a little engine doing something good. This is not new stuff, its just modern. Glad to see it anyway. Look out for the antique 140 hp beetle..don't cry.
Hey Matt when you get a chance can you check your inbox on Reddit? Thanks :)
for all you guys out there who are like "ohhhh a cobalt ss or a srt4 can beat this" okay so it can so fucking what? its not a fast car, its quick but not fast. its purpose is to devour tight corners on a racetrack and canyon roads and do things other front wheel drive subcompacts can't. its not about 0-60 in this car its about point a to point b on the twistiest road you can find on google maps. plus its not a utter shitbox
Too much power on FWD car gets a bit pointless. Had MINI Cooper S and now GTI. RWD just goes better.
I watched both videos since I own a 2014 Fiesta ST and I would have like to see you do the dyno without parts, then with parts, then with the tune. Is the tune even doing anything??
Will these upgrades void the warranty? Or did you buy the car outright?, I just inquired about a new one today.......
So, what are Cobb stage 2 Fiestas running in the 1/4? Any estimate at least?
Seriously, the fucking fiesta again? Where's the delorean video, it's been 4 months already!!
Its a real shame you guys in the US will never get the VXR on your roads.
Who would have ever thought that kind of power would be had in a compact. Wow! Domestics are slowly stepping up their game. Granted they've got a lot of ground to cover.
So my name is Thaddaeus also, and I have a 2014 fiesta st. Does that mean you guys will do this for me? :))))
I'd definitely go with these upgrades for mine, but I would certainly not be putting that hideous white gear knob on, that would go straight in the bin...
Could
Someone explain to me why manypeople saying the "cobalt" word?? What is that??
Hey Matt, any updates on the Mustang? Really curious to see how that thing turns out.
nope
hey guys..
im planning on buying a Ford Fiesta (non ST) and ulgrading it maybe later over the years because right now my budget doesnt allow for more.
im planning on the 95hp diesel version since im doing long distances.
it has 95hp/200nm stock
and with stage 1 120hp/270nm
so bow i heard about things like the transmission ( ib5 ) or something being a little weak and not doing well above 270~ NM so it shortena the lifetime alot.
1) is this true?
2) are there options to fix this issue( maybe new transmission- couldnt really find others than the ib5)?
3)is this called ib5 really that have another different one?
That car looks like a blast to drive. I am really, REALLY glad Fords building these kinds of cars. I'd still prefer to own a Mustang, but holy christ these little boxes are fast. I'm hoping some Fiesta STs and Focus STs show show up for auto-x this season. I'd like to get behind the wheel of one.
Any way you could do a video on shifting?
Definitely want to see stage 3, good stuff!
How tall is Matt? I see he has descent headroom for such a small car. I am an '03 SVT Focus owner, and the Fiesta is about the same wight. I am about 6ft tall, and I am, for the most part, comfortable in my car. So, I'd like to know if this car is comparable. The Focus ST is almost 500lbs heavier than my car, so I'd rather not consider it as an option.
Don't you wish you had 99 Octane Super unleaded like we have here in the UK.
Ah, your stock Fist on that dyno came out to 189, 236? I came out with 177, 220 at the place I went to.
Just goes to show how important it is to use the same dyno and conditions when comparing wheel numbers, I guess. I have no plans to get power adders though. I just want to see how much power my car will have lost several years from now.
6 years late to the party but Im assuming this needed Cold Crank spark plugs and they just didnt mention it..
I only have 532 miles on my 2015 FiST, the 1st oil change was done in my garage yesterday, and my Cobb Stage 2 package will be arriving to the house tomorrow morning. Can't wait!
the phrase cold air intake and turbocharged dont belong in the same paragraph. air is gonna heat up through the turbo anyway.
Hmmm in the UK you can a mountune kit, that ford put on them selfs about £600 212 bhp
+KieranHancock a radiator cools the engine coolant (water not air) using the ambient air temp. An intercooler uses the same method to cool the charged air that will go into your engine.
The air gets hot because it is compressed and travels through the hot turbo. The intercooler helps to lower the temp of the air before it enters the engine. Engines work based on heat expansion. Cold dense air + fuel + detonation = expanding hot air. You want really cold air going into the engine for max expansion.
The radiator is keeping your engine from overheating. There is an optimum temperature for the engine itself, for the best environment for biggest expansion at the perfect time.
So, a racing radiator is not gonna get you the gains. Get a High flow intake pulling in air from a cool place. They work the same for NA as Turbo. The turbo sees bigger gains because it is amplifying the effects. Look of forums and see which ones have been the best for your car and always be mindful that if you are sucking in air from the lower corner of your car that a big puddle can mean you suck water straight in.
Since it’s the same 1.6 ecoboost as the escape would the bolt ons and tune work for it aswell.
Aren't you guy leasing this vehicle? Hats off to the second owner!! Lol
Very interested in this setup as i beleive it will satisfy me. But I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what this will run in the quarter mile at sea level with stock tires. Fingers crossed for high 13's (my final goal for daily driver) thanks for any input!
BIG HP numbers are great on paper and going fast on straights..
This is a great car off the shelf. Buy food instead of splurging money on car parts would be my advise to the youth
Impressive gains. The turbo back exhaust should help drastically. Wouldn't be surprised to see 220whp with the new tune. Nice job Ford.
So this little 1.6l has more torque than the e46 M3's 3.2l?.... damn
I love this its not a fast car and its not even that expensive n any can do this upgrades in a weekend win for the lil guy :-)
As a owner of a Fiesta ST I can tell you this is the most fun I have ever had in a car bar none. To the OP... can you install the intercooler without going with an aftermarket exhaust? Will you still see the gains?
Next up, I'm guessing will be downpipe and exhaust, with a stage 2+ tune right? Then maybe brakes and or suspension?
stage 3 is turboback exhaust and pro tune. Then we're doing track pads and fluid. then we're done.
Stage 1 quote in this video was higher than in the video it was installed. But none the less a very good gain from stage 1 to 2
i want to get to stage 3 so bad on my '19 FiSt... its brand and i put 3k miles on it and im prolly going to wait till around 10k miles before i start stage 1 and continue staging it...plus i want to save some money for it.
I always wonder, what is the policies with the warranty with these modifications? Do they void the warranty, or you get some sort of certificate, how does it work in the USA?
*Wait, why does it have so much torque to begin with? Doesn't the car only have 202 tq at stock? How did it make 236 tq?*
I'm on the verge of buying this car, and I'm getting really excited!.. Please explain.
AzNightmare stage 1 is baseline no stock
Now for a hard question: ST vs Fox Body, which has more smiles per miles for you?
There's room in the garage for both.
oh yeah, kind of they they are for different things. But I would like to see both at a track and see which is faster :D
TexasRedneck Well we already did that once, and we're going to do it again when the Fox is done Project Fox Mustang - First Race Track Test
TheSmokingTire
doh, my bad I forgot about that :D...as you were
***** wait a few years..... it will grow on you... I think it's one of the best looking and quite understated!
since the car is a lease does the vehicle have to be brought back to stock form when the lease is over?
Awesome video man. I love that little car and I don't even own it yet. It seems to be the one you can't pass up for the driving experience. And glad to hear those modest gains translate so much to the seat of the pants.
272 lb/ft torque at 2400 rpm. Wow! TheSmokingTire Are you getting full boost that low in the rev range?
I cant wait any longer!!!! Where is the Fox Body update??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dollar for dollar are you expecting a better performer than its bigger brother?
Does anybody know if something as simple as a new after-market (preferably race spec) radiator in a NA car would be just as good a value for money or at least worth doing? I'm asking because obviously NA cars don't have intercoolers, but the concept is the same for those of us who want some cheap power gains on NA engines- colder air means more oxygen which equals more power.
radiators don't make colder intake air. they dissipate heat from the engine's coolant. So if you're increasing your engine's performance using other methods, and the engine runs hot, a bigger radiator will help that. Installing a bigger radiator on an otherwise stock engine won't do anything.
Thanks Matt & The Smoking Tire for videos about cars that are under $300,000 being tested and tuned. I will never be in the market for a super car, but your advice on cars I can purchase is very useful. What would those camber tires do for a car like the fiesta?
it would probably be crazy. I don't know if they will work on the Fiesta yet, because you need adjustable caster/camber settings, but if they fit, the grip would be nuts.
im not a fan of OTS maps cobb does... ive seen cars go boom from them.
Matt, bring this to the Chicago 1/2 mile! Or your Fox body, lol. I'll be running my Focus ST, which I'm hoping to have all bolt ons by then ;)
are you suggesting I drive to Chicago for the weekend, rather than fly? No thanks.
How is Thaddeus liking the Goodyears?? I'm liking mine (on a Spec-V).
...Right it's a fiesta....those would be RE050s....don't mind me!
Also, I love the Fiesta....very tempting to buy one.
hey matt, any word on a tune for the 1.6 liter ecoboost found in the fusion? i'm a proud owner of a 2013 fusion with this engine, and it's great around town but when you want to drive spiritedly it definitely could use some extra grunt.
I don't really know, you'd have to ask Cobb. I'm sure they can pro-tune anything you bring them.
A mechanical differential is a must have item on cars like these.
this particular video makes me happy ! it's the proof that even in my country we can have fun with cars ! and i wanted to know what you're at with that fox body project ?
Quick question more for stage 1, does ford offer a mountune package in the USA
Does the Cobb tune and hardware void your oem warranty?
I've modified and had 2 cars dyno tuned, it was fun seeing the differences mods made... what I'd love to see is a real world back to back speedo comparison on the road. Hearing some guy say 'oh yeah it's faster' is okay but it's a far cry from the seat of the pants feeling.
you're going to get lap times at Buttonwillow. With the Stage 1 we did a 2:19.
How much mpg is it getting now? I assume it's a little less now
Yeah I'll be sticking with my '07 mazdaspeed 3 still... Still nothing more exciting in that price range
Focus ST with a tune... Better handler, better features.
Would not have guessed you would get those types of gains with such little being done.
Cobb needs to hurry up and release those parts so I can stick them on my Fiesta ST XD
I know the parts are pretty basic, but do you think this job is something the average guy could do at home or would it need to be done at a shop? looks like the main problem would be getting under the front fender.
We would say the install appeared simple enough that it could be done at home, especially once the production parts ship with instructions.
I know it’s an old video but you inspired me to get a fist and go stage 2! I love my car lol
Sounds really good are those the recaro seats? Any chance of a comparo with the focus st?
The best part of these videos is the hate going on in the comments.
