@@jwuonog I'd have to ask our tuner, but you should not be concerned. By your question, I assume you know not to go WOT below 3k rpm, especially in the higher gears.
Very helpful Cameron, love seeing that FoSt community has such a great person that helps us out with all sorts of useful information every single video, can’t wait for next video! Btw gaining roughly 1k subs a day, can’t wait to see you reaching that 100k mark, you deserve it!
Alright, man, I'm pausing at 0:25 to say that I promise to watch the whole video. But please understand that now my expectations are high. This video had better be the most informative and coherent tuning video I have yet to watch.
I found your channel because I have a 17 ST 2 and I’m always searching for related videos. I’m 38 and have very little experience with cars. I’ve owned this car for a year and In that time have learned a lot about it. However your videos are becoming mandatory for me. You explain everything in a way that even I can understand. Thank you for taking time to make videos like this one and the one on the symposer delete. There are a lot of videos about it but none explain it quite like you. Great work!
freshstart painting don’t trust these people they know fuck all Etunes are also horrible find a respectable tuner with a real shop not some jackass with a random rom
Definitely gonna keep all this in mind very interesting I had a sct tuner for a older focus wasn't this much in detail plus the behind the scenes this is awesome
Super dope video. Defanitely a 1 of a kind. Never seen someone go into as much detail as you have. BUT I'm just going with the ford performance route. I'll end up getting around 90ft lbs of torque added once it's all said and done and I won't have to worry about a damn thing and its covered under my warrenty (2018 with 20k miles) Should be enough to take any stock wrx and that's pretty much my goal lol.
@@danishibadat it’s all a driver mod😂. If you want first mods: rear motor mount, and intercooler. Everything else isn’t mandatory. The car as a whole is really good. I’m big turbo on aux so been through many parts. Let me know if you have any questions. I’d be happy to help
@@whaws I just bought at 17’ ST2 as well, how do you maintain it? Any additives? Products to keep the injectors or just things to enhance the cleanliness of the engine?
@@simpleman8883 while I still had the car I ran asmoil signature series and changed spark plugs every 5k miles. It’s expensive but never once had any issues with the car. And the additives in the asmoil signiture series help prevent lipsi which is one of the two main fails for the motors (again lipsi is from drivier error/lack of knowledge)
@@whaws Hey, given it’s been a while, I appreciate that you got back to me! Thanks I’ll definitely look into Asmoil, and if I can try to change the spark plugs at something close to that interval, I want to keep her running as long and healthy as possible!
Currently in the middle (i think) of my etune. Going good tho. Been a few week process. But if i could log, and do all that logs in the evening it would go quicker.
@@jacobroberts147 yeah. I am big turbo and aux fuel now pushing 400ish wheel. I liked JST tune as it was very aggressive which made it fun to drive but it created a lot of wear on my clutch as I drove the car hard. I switched at Edge auto sport with Alan as I felt he had more knowledge of this platform
I just got a 2016 ford st with 90 thousand miles. I wanna keep it reliable for work, should I get like a check up tune? I know nothing about turbos and tuning I just love the car.
hey man im planning on getting an etune from edge autosport soon as i have an accessport on the way. when you first said you had map slots on the car how does that work because i could not manage to get mine to switch. did you mean the access port allowed that to work or the car naturally has them?
I honestly would like to do this but for my completely stock ST. I don’t want to do any mods and I just want a tune that will help align with my more aggressive style of driving. Is this stupid?
Got rousch exhaust, mountune intercooler, Cobb accessport v3, cold start spark plugs, cobb intake and rear motor mount got it all installed today. The only thing that was a real problem was the intercooler. Mountune brackets don't line up with the radiator cradle . Total pain in the ass almost had to throw out the horn. Once I have stage 1 done can I go ahead and install stage two?
Question for you. I'm in the process of doing this for the first time, do you have to pay for each tune he sends you. So for example when u send him your data log then he sends u back your tune but some adjustments need to be made, does he charge your again for that?

My question is if I decide to do an e-tune . . . . . would you recommend I run e85 SOME of the time??? as Is this car is My DAILY Driver? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas!!
It's really more about what's practical for you. If you don't have a good tuner or someone who really knows your platform in your area, an etune is a good idea. If you do, a dyno is quick, accurate, repeatable, and safe. But even if you have a competent local tuner, they might not be experienced in a certain platform. We are among the top Focus ST tuners in the country, so even if you prefer dyno tuning, renting a dyno and scheduling a remote dyno tune is still a great idea. It will cost the most though since you're renting a dyno and paying for etune.
Sean Zhang I have Ford performance, I love it... it’s 2.5 in” with resonator and a muffler. It has almost 0drone but is loud when you step on it. The Cobb has a little bit more drone. Also the vodka exhaust sounds very similar to the ford performance bc they are the same it’s just ford tuned their from borla(borla exhaust is a bit louder than ford performance it just sounds a tiny bit ricey)
I have flowmaster 3" only a res turbo can be heard pretty good and its pretty dam loud idle is kinda quiet though and big uphill it has drone but it doesnt bother me going catless next week 👍
Sense you had an sti what would you do if you were me. I have a 2017 wrx that has 410hp and was about put an iag stage 3 block in. But the dealer I bought the car from gave me the option to trade in for a 2019/2020 sti would you suggest to keep building the fa20 or switch to a stock brand new sti and start over... I have 2 weeks to go stock and trade it in and idk what to do haha
@@Henry14141 yah I'm thinking about that but if it's an sti with the fa20 setup I won't be all that hype about it. Also I'll have put and iag stage 3 block in and probably cant use it as a trade in lol
Im about to reach 36k in my 18 wrx. Its bone stock besides a full 3in catback non res. If you had 2000 bucks what would you buy 1st? Need some feedback
@@interceptingfist5682 at this point the stock tune is so garbage i dont even care anymore. I just want more sound more power and a smooth driving car.
There are definitely drawbacks to etuning, especially for a street car. But both dyno tuning and etuning have their place and value. Pretty much all race cars and heavily modified cars are tuned both ways at some point for that reason.
Great video! Awesome to collaborate with you!!!
🙌🏼🏁
Keep doing stuff with CAM, we love it.
Is this life time free tunes? Like Tom offers
Does Edge Autosport retain the LSPI tables from the OEM tune?
Should I even be concerned about it if I know how to drive properly?
@@jwuonog I'd have to ask our tuner, but you should not be concerned. By your question, I assume you know not to go WOT below 3k rpm, especially in the higher gears.

By far the most comprehensive builder I’ve come across, very helpful topics, thank you🤙🤙🤙
This video was super informative and helpful man. Stuff nobody else covers. Can't wait to get my bigger intercooler and get my custom tune.
Just for a st and watched this whole video it’s was worthwhile

How’s the tune? Any issues with reliability?
@@jacobroberts147 none at all. I drive it 75 miles everyday.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I’ve been stuck between JST and edge. But I think I’m going to go with edge
@@jacobroberts147 I definitely recommend it. Alan is great to work with. He will tune it for whatever needs you have for the car.
This video is beyond dope. Good job, man.
pretty helpful video I just bought my AP for my speed3 and I wasn’t sure how e tunes work appreciate the help 🙏🏻

Would you recommend adding the mods before the tune? Not trying to throw any codes especially with the catless DP

Really appreciate this video man. I know I have a G35 but I’ve heard uprev is pretty similar. Thank you
Hi! Love the context following with my 18 st
Thanks I appreciate you!🙏🏽🏁

what were your gains?

How much different do you think the stratified process is?
What if your only mod is a air intake and straight piped
What was that at 11:20?
Great video. Lots of information that i needed. Thanks
Thanks for another killer video! I appreciate them.
Thanks for supporting the channel always 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Your datalogging without laptop? My sct dont do that
Is that for lifetime or just a few datalogs
I honestly would like to do this but for my completely stock ST. I don’t want to do any mods and I just want a tune that will help align with my more aggressive style of driving. Is this stupid?
Dude got a tune form Allen Jackson. Looks like Allen got over his Mercury blues
love this video. Thanks man.
Or a Taurus SHO? What no Taurus SHO AWD/3.5/TT
Before the tune did you get check engine light w catless dp

Could you do a run on the dyno to prove results?

Yes
Dyno tune is much better if you can do it
Whats the difference between an etune and a dyno tune?
One is a remote tune and one is on the dyno
DoTheDrew - so which one is better?
I saw another comment saying etuning is a joke, edge autosport reply was pretty spot on.
