Keep the videos coming nice to see someone working on one of these on UA-cam. Everytime you release a video it's making me change my mind about selling my mk6 ST. I think youre wrong about your Jamsport hoses, I've still got the OEM hoses on my power steering and not a single weep, almost 18 years old now. Those silicone hoses should be lasting way longer than seven years. I was hoping you'd have shown more of the radiator removal and reinstallation as I have this on the cards at some stage soon. Keep em coming!
Love the video, why didn’t you go for a bigger radiator? Also it’s best to take the plastic connects that connect to the expansion tank off the original pipes and put them on the silicone ones as if you just put the silicone on the expansion tank the jubilee clip will eat into the hose.
@@morgancallaghan5289 I've tracked the car and mever had a problem with OEM cooling to be honest. The new rad is amazing by comparison to the 16 year old one it replaced... and... thanks for the tip on the plastic extension hose connects. I have the original bits in my "stock pile".
ohh shite.. I should have told you to 3D scan that infamous mountune inlet if you remove it from your car. I would pay for a proper blueprint for 3D printing one to myself. Maybe it not just me, but I'm curious about the new dyno graphs with the mountune manifold. You have a video with all the past modification and dyno results, maybe you can make an update. Thanks for this video!
@@istvan5400 not sure copying the Mountune design is a good idea. Probably going to end up getting sued... and the external geometry isn't the part you need in anycase. A low cost plastic manifold with the correct runner lengths and a decent plenun chamber would be cool to make with a printer.
@@hengineer1 you are absolutely right! but I will make a mountune look manifold anyway, the only difference the cost to pay an engineer to calculate the dimensions and re-engineering this stuff. Mountune had a chance to print out this for me (I asked them), and I would happily pay 1000 pounds for 3D printed version of this manifold. and I don't think I am the only one. They didn't bother to answer for that letter........
@istvan5400 If I did a design, with OEM interfaces (flange to head, throttle body in same location) and had it printed off in Aluminium... would there be a market for it? A Hengineer manifold with some dyno runs to show performance?
@@hengineer1 If your price is cheap enough, I'm sure you can sell at least 20. Every second year I see a mountune manifold on Eb@y, and 2300-2500 pounds and 1-2 days later they gone. last one sold under 2 hours. that is the point of plastic 3D print. Just print out if somebody order one. The stock manifold is plastic, so it should be ok being plastic. Maybe use honeycomb cell reincforcement design. But I am not a salesman. You can ask usa and uk fiesta forums. say for instance the proper 3D print with everything cost you 500 pounds and you have a proper blueprint, than you can sell for 900 easy I think.
Happy to see new episode with st150, thank you mate

Im really surprised you didnt pop the front panel off, it takes 5 mins and would have made all those hobs 10x easier.
