Hey everyone in this video I take you to DDG Mapping in Manchester where my Focus ST Mk2 went for its first remap ( So I Thought),. as seen in my previous videos I have been modifying the ST to be able to have a Stage 2 map, unfortunately during the Map a unknown BOOST fault appeared meaning DDG where unable to pull all the horses from the engine, once I have rectified the issue I will be taking the car back to DDG for some tweaking to get the cars full potential from it.
I highly recommend DDG for your custom mapping requirements, go and check them out and don't for get to mention the ECP RUclips Channel.

Was just about to go to sleep. Guess that can wait another 24 minutes...
Lol hopefully it will be worth it buddy, it took best part of 6 hrs to render and publish online
He did my Focus ST. The place is awesome and normally filled with super cars. The waiting area is nice as well.
Yeah he is a sound bloke, and a rear nice setup they have got going there
Sounds epic love it
Cheers buddy
DDG is just up the road from me so nice to get a look inside a tuner I've not considered previously and it's good that they health check the car too although you might find some expensive repairs. Did look like, from your boost gauge, it wasn't holding boost very well though. Good luck with the repairs and new content at least lol
Yeah exactly buddy it's a big thing going for a remap and to be able to now get a insight into the process is always helpful, yeah I know more money but that's it really the car is running very well and like you say more content lol
Great vid fella. I need to do my actuator as well so I will wait for you now 🥳🤣
cheers buddy, yeah I will get it done soon as with the how to video to go with it
Good vid man, shame your not getting full power though!
Just fitted some Bosch 440cc injectors and running mod XRS map, car is now insane, 3rd gear make me say “wow”every time.
Would recommend fitting some before you go back to have your map tweaked as they really help with fuelling.
hey dude yeah I thought about the injectors, but right now I need a clutch and actuator and my tyres are not far from being changed either lol
Same happened to me after i had stage 2 at dreamscience a year ago. But i presumed stage2 had rs injectors aswell which i fitted before the mod xrs. I had a dump valve on ans de cat but standard zorst at the time n only made 300bhp but kept blowing dump valve open n clutch kept slippin on rollers
Cheers that’s good to hear 👍
You cant custom map these cars and for the price of a one tune from this tuner you could get 5 plus maps from dreamscience handset used for around the same price.
I looked at the dremscience buddy as they are good but they are £400+ and they wouldn't of shown up the boost issue I have and plus I want to know exactly what I'm running not just a estimate potential, and I wanted pops and bangs which is an additional coast on top of the handset, the price starts creeping end of the day buddy its personal preference, there will never be a true agreement on this topic lol
@@ecp4538 Yeah fair enough all depends on what meets your needs. Keep up the great content mate im using your videos as a guide to mod my st haha
@@GripEnemy. yeah thats it buddy I actually did literally nearly buy a second hand one the day be for but I really wanted exact figures on what my car was running. Cheers buddy hope they are helpful thats what they are there for.
You can custom map these cars, you just cant live map them.
great vid shame about the boost leak/ faulty actuator and the rs clutch the what I hate about putting more power in mine whats guna fail next lol. im running stage 1, 265.4 bhp and 284 ft of torque but getting a new map today hopefully guna hit 300. good luck with the boost leak mate
Hi buddy yeah but I half expected the clutch, once I've changed what's needed then it won't need doing again, might just be a little while as it all starts adding up lol
@@ecp4538 deffo mate rs clutch supply and fit 700ish it does get expensive man. I'm shitting it for when I get this map done lol dont fancy spending on a clutch
@@Focusstmk2.5 you cam just get the clutch for £280 ish as you don't have to do the release bearing and flywheel, but you might as well do the full kit then your sorted for the long term, where are you taking your car for a Map
Yeah I'd get the whole lot done once it's done it's done lol well I had a map done at phantom tuning but not happy with the numbers so me and my mate are getting a dsci Map from his mate that works for them so that's a touch and his unlocking some features on the car via the ECU fingers crossed
@@Focusstmk2.5 cool let me know how you get, I am currently looking into doing Mapping myself for the ECP
Shit man I’m dreading the day my clutch goes , mite as well save up some more and get the diff done as well but the price !! And then the block mod phew if only dream science did finance . Good vid tho 👍🏽
yeah its a expense but nothing really bad, I mean once the clutch is done you wont be needing another one for many years, the diff I'm not sure its worth it as I've heard mixed reviews and it is a expense to buy, the block mod in my personal opinion is over rated and I haven't had it done to mine, I would do it if I was doing the timing belt/water pump as your already there but my belt/pump have been done in the past already.
ECP block mod over rated??? Really? Do you know why the block mod is done?
@@zman86turbo yes I do think it's very overrated and I know what's it for I will give you my thoughts later buddy just out car hunting at the moment
@@zman86turbo the block mod is basically a piece of metal similar to the size and shape of a Stanley knife blade that is placed in a gap between the cylinders to help prevent a cracked liner, now these gaps in the first place where put there by Ford to help with cooling around the cylinders but by doing this they created a week spot in the liners which can crack, by fitting the shims in theory your strengthening the week spot, but also by putting the shims there your going to now reduce the cooling, the main reason the liners crack is when the cylinders become to hot and the heat cracks the liners where mentioned regardless of the block mod or not, there is always someone who knows someone thats liners have cracked and didn't have a block mod etc etc but the fact is if you don't let your engine over heat you more than likely wont have an issue regardless of what power your running, regular service oil change with good oil and keep checking the coolant level and that it has good additives mixed in you will be good, don't get wrong nothing is perfect and this is just my opinion but what ive said should make obvious since buddy Hope this helps
ECP I have an st with the block mod, dream science stipulated that the shim stops the bubbling of the coolant which creates hot spots around the liners which then cracks them? Don’t get me wrong I’m no expert on it but I haven’t heard of an engine with the block mod cracking liners unless it’s running stupid power 400+
Do these car's shake abit when cold like a misfire. I have 2 of them and both do it been told its normal but it must be fixable anybody know whats up with them.
Apologises for the late reply. Did you sort your issue.
So did you ever get your issues fixed and go back to DDG?
The issue was just that the turbo actuator couldn't hold the boost for long enough to reach the potential HP the car is capable off, as of right now I've not changed it and gone back as I'm currently in the process of changing jobs and going to Honda
ECP good video👌interesting info about this block mod, as I have heard similar things that say you don't need it unless running over 300bhp. Have you had you car sorted now? And if so what did you make? Also what mods do you have to make a stage 2 to 290bhp? Thanks Buddy
Hi buddy I personally don't believe in the block mod at all it's just a bang wagon that companies make money on, a stage 2 will get you over 300HP I only didn't get that figure due to the OEM turbo Actuator not able to handle the pressure, stage 2 upgrades would be 1-induction kit , 2-3 inch turbo back exhaust system 3-uprated intercooler 4-optional uprated turbo Actuator 5-optional re-circulating valve, hope this helps
No. new shafts?? im reading constantly they wear down quite fast. IV only known of shafts breaking never wearing down. and to pay 600 Evert couple yrs aint worth the ducking about as the car needs a race track to run the car flat out. to big a motor for a small car i reckon. but ill keep trying to tame the beast!
@@psmart4948 I believe the main reason that people are snapping driveshafts is that they are trying to get the power down to much to quick, the torque just snaps the shafts, ideally be more linear with putting the power down.
that was quick to reply pal!! lowering the car looses that linear thing a degree or 2 causing the wearing. then with the tune up it grinds them quicker?? 1 comment on that theory with 100s of comments on the engine being the culprit. that will sicken a few folk if it proves correct in time. im starting to think these aint for tuning up if they need to use it for a few yrs. my humble opinion. love the crack tho when folk record the work. if RUclips was about when I had the xr3i is have done loads of shot to it!!! God Speed young man!!!
@@psmart4948 I do miss the xr3i, 205 GTI, I actually asked about a fiesta RS 2 days ago
Hey bud great vid also were did u get ure front bumper and rear diffuser with the blue on it looks really awsome
Hey buddy thank you, it is vynl pin striping of Ebay, only cost about £5
@@ecp4538 going to look at getting my self some haha cheers bud
50 seconds in nice ferrari 355 being pushed in presume its pre map and will fly out after mapping
Not sure buddy, would of been nice to have a go lol
Hey bud , really good vid ! Just wandering how come you have moved your licence plate back on the grill?
Hey buddy, bit of a story but the short version is that I called over by the police who were happy to keep me for a long time telling me that it's illegal and how many fines for each different section I could get, that they could take my car of me etc etc, lol so I wasn't arguing and just put the original back on, I do have some ideas to change it to look better that is legal
Hi mate love your vids, just wanna ask you have you done the block mod yet👍
hey buddy im literally going to copy and paste a previous answer I gave to the same question lol. no I'm not bothering, it's not that common if you add up how many ST'S there are on the road, as long as you have good coolant in the car, fresh oil added each year and you don't let the car over heat due to poor management you should be good buddy, hope this helps dude
Decat it, you’re only gonna blow the sports cat to bits if not.
Yeah I will buddy in the next few days as the car is going to a show on SUNDAY, the cat is also brand new and I don't want to have to buy another one lol
diaria mode
im going to bring my st3 mk2 for stage 2 next month
Nice buddy are you taking it to DDG?
That must be the worst stage 1 ever 30bhp more for a stage 1 shocking should feel a massive difference
Yeah some dodgy map going on there
Are you considering the block mod as these models are known for cracking cylinder liners when producing over 300bhp.
I'd love to be able to learn how to edit maps. Does anyone know what software they use?
Hey buddy no I'm not bothering, it's not that common if you add up how many ST'S there are on the road, as long as you have good coolant in the car, fresh oil added each year and you don't let the car over heat due to poor management you should be good buddy
ECP I ran over 300 for a year before i got a block mod a lot of its scaremongering as long as the car is looked after , I’ve got a block mod while giving it the beans I still put the heater on to let out some heat it lol
@@Wilkkid1 I agree buddy a lot of it is scaremongering as long as you don't let your engine over heat then its not hot enough to crack the liner etc
ECP that’s it mate 😀👌
I'm curious, are those pops and bangs healthy on these engines ....?
wouldn't it cause engine failure ?
No buddy as all that happens is the cpu is told to put extra fuel in the engine that ends up not being burnt in the ignition sequence, which then goes out into the exhaust where the hot exhaust then ignites the unburnt fuel thus giving you the pops and bangs
@@ecp4538 thanks man. didnt expect such a 1uick response but big thumbs to you and your videos . I'm an avid supporter.....FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
@@deonhrupnarain no worries buddy cheers for the support much appreciated
I HAD THE SAME BOOST ISSUE WHEN I TOOK MY ST TO REMAPPED LAST WEEK. LET ME KNOW WHAT RESOLUTION U GET IVE CHANGED BY BOOST SOLENOID AND RECIRCULATION VALVE STILL NO BETTER AND I HAVE NO BOOST LEAKS
Hey buddy yeah I will let you know
Maf sensor or 15amp relay fuse
Hi buddy. What mods have you got to go for the Stage 2?
Hey buddy, what you need is a 3inch turbo back exhaust system with a sports cat or De-cat, uprated Intercooler that can handle 300+ hp, induction kit and some fresh spark plugs might as well put some RS ones in, I have done videos on all these buddy
Ive got a full 3" CobraSport Decat system, an Airtec Stage 1 Intercooler and a K&N Panel Filter.
I suppose that will be ok for a Stage 1 map, although I think mine has previously been mapped as the turbo gauge goes all way to the red when flooring it, and the shift light comes on (which Ive heard is a sign of a map).
Also, the mpg is pretty good on mine, drove from Doncaster to north Wales and back for around £35, and thats at around 65-80mph all way.
@@---DW--- nice the cobra systems, yes you defo already have a map on the car as standard boost is only upto half on the gage, I would fit a induction kit and check what HP the Airtec Stage 1 intercooler is capable of, if it's up to 325HP you could go for a stage 2 at DDG
@@---DW--- that's good MPG I've been suffering chronically with bad MPG but much better now
@@ecp4538 Airtec say the Stage 1 Intercooler was tested on a rolling road, and can handle 296.4bhp. Im guessing thats only good enough for a Stage 1 map, maybe 1.5
? Absolute rubbish.... it’s impossible to tune the ST and write a map unique to the car? The ECU cannot be written. Any reputable ST tuner can tell u this. The only way to write a unique map would be to install a stand alone ECU like Syvecs? These vehicles are tuned with a one shot map that suits all and cannot be tweeked per vehicle
Hey buddy they stick a generic base Map on then tweek various ratios etc so car runs smoothly as possible, ( I don't know enough information to support any feedback as of yet just what I've learnt don't shoot the messenger lol)
ECP hi mate, ye not having a go but I have 2 of these cars both heavily modded. It’s impossible to live map the ST ECU on a rolling road. Syvecs is the way forward for this for next level performance but it has a price ticket of £3k. Most maps are just loaded without the need to dyno. Great u did dyno tho as it did highlight potential issues with your motor as it stands. Stage 2 is where ur at but don’t let anyone else try mapping for further power without upgrading your supporting mods to suit the power. 👍🏻
@@leekemp1180 cool beans buddy I respect everyone's opinion and more insight the better, I have heard of Syvecs might invest more time into these and see what they are offering, yeah the dyno was beneficial in showing me I had a terrible map on there which was causing my engine to heavily over fuel and my boost issue that wasn't noticeable at all, yeah I wont be putting anymore power through till ive done some more upgrades etc
Cant be live mapped but still can be custom mapped in the same way as making any other different load up map available , the files can be changed and when changed then becomes custom to that vehicle . The process is just much more long winded .
