I ditched my f80 stage 2 M4 comp to get back into a fiesta, I'm about 320 wheel and it's the most enjoyable car I've ever owned. Can't wait to do the XDI pump and get to 360
With the rap that eco boost gets it blows my mind that you can wring this sort of horsepower out of it reliably. That things head gasket is made from a piece of Superman's cape.
Mine isn’t as crazy but I focused more on suspension and handling but I’m FBO and e40. These cars really shine on a backroad or track. At some point I’ll probably go bigger turbo but I’ll do built trans first. They really are a fun car to own!
@@Eji66 I agree! Hey why are you planning to build the trans? I've seen these with 400WHP and the transmission didn't break. What kind of power are you looking for that you need a built transmission?
@@georgevigil7001 I just want an LSD for cornering and being able to put the power down and better synchros to handle more power. I’m having the 4th gear input shaft bearing whine. I might as well get a built trans before more power is added.
Man, his build is fuggen legit!! Have to install my single port auxiliary fuel and hopefully the tuner I am messing with puts my Fiesta ST at 370 whp. 🤞 Has he ever run his FiST in the quarter mile?
The motor mounts are so bad in these. First thing I changed out on mine as soon as I started adding power. Not sure what ford was thinking on that one lol. Cool car and crazy build! I moved back over to F56 mini platform but still miss the Fiesta from time to time. Just was way too lacking on creature comforts and tech.
I don't think I'll EVER sell my FiST even if it lacks the creature comforts. I agree on the Motor Mounts. I replaced the RMM when I upgraded the Turbo. I'm actually planning to buy a GLA 45 AMG for creature comforts and keep the FiST as my FUN car!
@@georgevigil7001 No doubt! Out of all of the cars I've owned the Fiesta ST was by far the best performance to dollar value. If they had sold the Mk8's in the states I would probably had bought one. Seems like they stepped the game up with comfort with those.
I love the build i did the same with mine pulsar turbo modified the ebay bp header with a ewg custom 3 inch exhaust forged pistons and rods and sleeved block i was just tired of seeing the same things over and over
It was for two reasons: One, weight savings on my front drive wheels for better rotational acceleration (less unsprung weight). And Two, for cosmetic appeal and fitment. I wanted a meatier look + couldn't fit a 225 tire without rubbing on a 17 inch wheel, so going to a 16 inch allowed me to fit the 225 tire on without any rubbing. But I can't go any wider. The car power wise is totally maxed out on 200 treadwear street tires, so some stickier tires are on the horizon.
I may misunderstand your question? But the rev limiter is the maximum RPM’s the engine can rev to, so it’ll stop once it hits that limiter. Also it’s not particularly great for the engine to rev it all the way up to the limiter very often, and especially if you hold the revs that high for more than a couple seconds!
@@MaxHPower I was just wondering why people bang up against the rev limiter. I don't get anywhere near that unless I miss a shift. Actually, I rarely go past 6000 rpm.
160hp and its turbo? Da fuq , my 08 civic si is 200hp stock, and has had no problems except a starter and cv axles at 208k mi, same clutch for 108k mi.
Having owned a fist with roughly same power. I too thought it was fast till I actually got a fast car. Save your money man, sell and get something better
I like how he wanted to be different than everyone else. Exactly how I think about builds too, great work
He achieved his goal for sure!

That’s awesome!! Really cool to hear that you ditched an M4 for it! Have fun!
So glad i have one
I love this, everything he's done is functional
Thanks for watching! For sure, he did an amazing job with the build!!
The actually fast fiesta 🥲 absolutely wild setup. Awesome
What are you talking about, all Fiestas are fast! 🤣
Most underrated car RUclipsr
Thanks so much! I appreciate you!!🙏🫡
That wastegate sound is BRUTAL
Ikr!!! Crazy!!

That dudes build is sick!

That’s awesome! I’m sure yours is still pretty wild!! They are definitely great platforms!
@@MaxHPower I have beaten things i shouldn’t 😅. I’ve driven FoST and I pick the fiesta because I think it’s more fun in every way.

The next dodge omni GLH
Love these little cars
They are wild!!!
Love this. He thought through everything. Impressive work. I'm going to take some notes from this for my car.
He really did!! Thanks for watching!
Had one it made 300ishwhp pretty fun
That’s awesome! Yeah they are great platforms!!
Why did you sell it?!!!
Once my legacy gt gets the turbo and injectors upgraded you’re gonna have to go for a ride in it👍 good content
Heck yeah, let me know!! And thanks I appreciate it!!
Absolutely sick. Makes me want to start doing more work on my FiST :)
Thanks for watching!! Heck yeah, one piece at a time!!
I'm Baffled at why you wouldn't go 4 port Aux?
I have stage 3 w a bigger turbo and it’s a beast!
Ill bet the input Shaft in the Transmission goes next*
Man, his build is fuggen legit!! Have to install my single port auxiliary fuel and hopefully the tuner I am messing with puts my Fiesta ST at 370 whp. 🤞
Has he ever run his FiST in the quarter mile?
I don’t think he’s ran the 1/4! It would be awesome for him to give it a shot though!
Go 4 port aux* more even distribution of fuel.

Haha yeah it sure sounds like they weren’t designed well!
But very nice, thanks for the comment!

Bro! Get a wider set of wheels for that thing! It made the torque steer almost non existent for me! 🔥🔥 build!
I love the build i did the same with mine pulsar turbo modified the ebay bp header with a ewg custom 3 inch exhaust forged pistons and rods and sleeved block i was just tired of seeing the same things over and over
That’s awesome, good stuff!!
Another black dude in a fiesta .. rare out here lol
Hahahaha
😂
goes to show power to weight ratio is all the fun you need
Absolutely!!!
Does anyone know why he has a staggered wheel setup???
I can’t remember his reasoning! Maybe just for a more aggressive look, for more meaty tires on the front? I’m not sure!

I have a 2016 with 20k miles on it..
Wow that’s crazy!!!
What does hitting the rev limiter do?

Hahaha I don’t think you watched the entire video It’s about 370whp
That's stock. Very small turbo
Their 197hp * but subtract 10% off of that for True stock WHP. I don't think he was able to do math correctly.
Having owned a fist with roughly same power. I too thought it was fast till I actually got a fast car. Save your money man, sell and get something better
Why cant you just respect the build.
@Ems00837 what did you get
