- Can a 410PS Stage 2 tune by REVO on a Mk4 Ford Focus ST make what is already a great car awesome ? Turns out it can !
Before I take the car to find some great roads I talk through the engineering and design that has gone into the hardware and software of this modification. The Stage 2 upgrade includes air intake, intercooler and engine map. This car also has the upgraded lightweight wheel from Revo and the Revo by Alcon brake upgrade. To finish the job off the car is also running a Milltek GPF back sports exhaust.
For more information visit the Revo website and use the Contact for to talk to the team...

I’ve said it on numerous occasions, that there is no need for expensive super cars anymore, these hot hatches as in RS,s civic tyre r,s and golf R,s are quick enough plus you can bring out the family and do your shopping in them.
They’re statements now for media and fashion
Problem is they are all fwd. A real sports car needs to be rwd. These are not supercars they are hot hatches. A supercar like a 296 is 10 times better
If there is one thing that always pisses me off, it’s exhaust pops that have been “engineered in”. They do absolutely nothing for the performance and detract from any deep engine note…
Couldn't agree more. The overrun wouldn't be for us in general, however, the market majority does like them. They are only in the Sport and Track modes😊
Great video Ped, you absolutely smashed it! We worked hard to produce a Stage 2 package without the need to remove the GPF or Cat. Keep smashing the content❤
Thanks Guys 👍
What kind of boost pressure does it go to? And also is it possible to maintain the stock overrun sound with this stage 2 pack?
Great vid Pete, must say I’m impressed with the knowledge you have on all the ins and outs of the things your talking about, just shows you do some swatting up before and care about what your bringing to us, that Focus does sound awesome 👍
Cheers mate 👍
Thanks for the review, I've already had a stage 1 and your absolutely right in how the power is delivered its very smooth and not snappy. I'm so pleased with my car now. And they do know there stuff 100% top guys there. 🙂🙂🙂👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cool 😎
Great video and very informative. The internet loves figures so its good to see someone talk about other features and drivability for change.
Cheers Matt. It’s all about the driving 👍
You absolutely hit the nail on the head in respect of the Mk4 ST over the Mk3 RS. Being in my early 50s I’ve always been into the performance Fords but nowadays I want a modern family Ford (with performance) without it looking like a ‘mid-life crisis meets boy racer’ purchase - great as the Mk3 RS is. This beautifully subtle-looking ST (with the full Revo package) seems to tick all the boxes for me - especially in white.
Thank you. Excellent review as always. Cheers, Roo
Yeh totally agree at 50. Had a few fast and not so fast (made fast lol) ford's. These days got a mk3 focus stline 1l ecoboost but want more torque and thought the mk3 st exhaust setup, and the RS looked too boyracer / tacky. Even considered the puma st and golf gti but I do like the sleeper mk4 focus st the most 👍
always loved fords...but this little beauty you've just pop out with ...well well well..delicious symphony cheers buddy ,what a jewel
Cheers 👍
I had a MK2 ST and it was the best car I ever had with that 5 pot growel, boy do I miss it.
Nice 👌
Yep same
Absolutely Awesome Video, Thoroughly Enjoyed Petrol Ped ... 👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
Proper sleeper! Nice work by Revo there.
Oh yes 🙌
Great bunch of guys at Revo Daventry. They did a stage 1 on my Mk3 Leon Cupra 290, at short notice I might add, and an excellent uplift in performance it brings. Now considering a stage 2 with very similar hardware upgrades to the Focus ST, which brings it up to a similar output as the Focus, 400bhp. The mid range is already explosive, lord only knows what it would like! Thanks for the great video and channel 👍
Cheers Stan 👍
Stage 2 on the Cupra 290 is amazing and the perfect power output for it imo :)
Really like this car and I would definitely leave wheels standard (altho I love the wheels) and no revo badge for ultimate stealth 😍👍Great review the smile says it all 😃
Looks like a great package. Well presented too. Cheers!
Thanks Guy 👍
Now that’s a impressive upgrade. Wow. Yes incredible.
👍
Nice one Pete, great vlog as always. 130bhp more, is incredible just for just a stage 2! Looks and sounds amazing, a proper sleeper. I would take off the revo badge, and stickers, make it look stock and smoke everything! 😂
Great plan 😂
Another enjoyable & excellent video really liked that now a lot well done great content 👌👌
Thanks Michael 👍
Nice car 🚗👍❤️ love the ST I've got a mk 2 st focus bog standard
Loving your review, once you get past the acceleration, it's about how a car goes about its work around the speed limit on B roads. So is handling and steering response more important? I love keeping the speed up through flowing bends.
Absolutely fantastic video really enjoyable I have to say I do quite like the Mk3. Focus RS I think it sounds good and the Ricardo seats look amazing . Hope you are doing well.
That turbo noise yes we like that thank you for the video
I’m good thanks mate. You ?
great informative video absolutely love it thank you I have a st 3 which I love but I really like this
👍
Great Video. Enjoyable watch
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice to see some content for your younger subscribers 👍🏻
😂😂😂
What a car that is before the upgrades with the upgrades a different animal altogether. I had to re subscribe tonight as it said I was not a subscriber. Hope I am the only one or your numbers will be all wrong. Looking forward to the Audi test you hinted at on Instagram. My Mini is off to the car park in the sky I think, a new addition to the family is coming along with 400 bhp
Thanks for the re sub 👍
Great video! Fantastic job by revo! Sir Pete I could see ya own one of these
I don’t need any more cars 😂
@@PetrolPed lol are you sure
Absolutely brilliant machine!
👍
Great Video!
Thanks Kevin 👍
I have a fiesta st edition and I got revo stage 2 plus I have the quaife as standard and I have revo brakes on order for mine to. Revo do great maps used them for yrs on different cars. My son has on his fiesta st mk7 to stage 1 still great
Nice 👌
Jeez glad I wasn’t riding my bike that day, you were doing my cycle circuit chap lol. Great vid.
LOL 😂
Love the whistle from the turbo and those gunshot exhaust pops. 😅
👌
Hello buddy, I’m in love with this, I’m normally a Focus RS fan. 💕💕👍🇬🇧
You’d love this 👍
Great review mate and I love the turbo flutter! I’ve been down the road of modding and it is fun but as I’ve grown older I’ve learnt to buy something engineered to be the power you want and handle the way you want out of the box. The lsd should of been fitted before the power upgrade so you can deploy the power quicker out of the bends and to help in the wet too.
Yep 👍
I too like to have at LEAST the upgrades that my prior vehicles had , my 2003 Nissan Sentra Spec IV had a very good LSD and it is VERY Hard not to have one now ! The difficulty of Pulling my small boat up a very slippery boat ramp is just ONE of its drawbacks !
Great vlog as usual Ped. Amazing, as it looks and feels like a proper grown up uber hatch. However, better than a Focus RS with 4wd and drift mode! Drift mode or torque steer? I know which one would get my pulses racing more. Anyhow 400 bhp in a family hatch! Bonkers😂😂
👍
Even in its standard form before modifications, it is a great car.
Oh indeed 👍
Cool stuff 👍👌😎
👍
Brilliant. I still miss bits of my Mk3 RS. That was only mountune’d to 375bhp, but was a lot of fun. Only thing that the Mk4 is missing is 4wd. That made the focus so sure footed.
It did but the Mk4 has such a good feel to it 👌
@@PetrolPed the mk4 is definitely a leap forward from the mk3. Even standard it’s performance figures aren’t much different to the MK3 RS. Ford somehow manage to make a standard family car fun, where others struggle.
Love the turbo flutter and the crackling from the exhaust. Great vid as always Pete.
Cheers Sean 👍
Pretty impressive tune ^^
Nice video and review. I had a mk4 st with a 400bhp conversion courtesy car. Nice car, but I’ll stick with my rs cosworth 530bhp.
As you know, we never got the MK4 Focus/ST in the US - too bad, as it looks like a big improvement over the MK3, even in stock trim
410Bhp Focus? That's nuts! Focus is a great platform for that, more than capable. Agree, LSD would be a good addition - is Revo thinking about doing that?
We talked about it while us was there 👍
Friend of mine just bought a brand new st and drove it today and the standard noise just blew me away
Happy to leave that one for the youngsters.
😂😂😂
Great review as always and nicely driven but I think I would worry taking that car out on wet or greasy roads and the turbo flutter would irritate me after a while.Well engineered but ultimately not for me.
I was thinking about a RS or a new ST in Mountune Spec, but you seem to have a talent for selling cars.
It looks more interesting to have a Revo ST, tough not sure wheter it beats a RS, then I mean driving pleasure.
Get in touch with Revo 👍
As an every day driver, the MK4 wins every time...... The adjustable modes means you can slacken everything off and your 90yr old granny could drive it to the shops without either wetting herself or needing a hip replacement and spinal traction.... Pop it into sport, everything sharpens up, but is still supple enough for UK roads.... TBH, track mode is a bit too severe ... The e-lsd comes into its own but the ride is harsh, much like a MK3 RS.... I've only gone for a 330bhp Dreamscience tune but along a B road, in sport mode, it's a proper weapon... All in all, it's a pretty much perfect compromise between everyday usability and trackday rocket....
Hi, nice video and thanks for the great detail. Just a query... why an St and not an rs? Is it a buy in cost reason or what? Is the performance rs not on a different page to an St?
I think there is a bigger market. Cheaper entry cost, more headroom for sensible performance increase and maybe a bigger market 👍
Better than an RS? Consider me and my Focus RS triggered. 😡😭
Excellent work though Revo & Ped... I am jealous of that turbo sound.
😂😂😂
Can you put a timing chain on a ecoboom instead of the the fluffy belt they have.
Hoodlum mode engaged with the turbo flutter and pops and bangs. , how to make a middle aged man feel 19 again. lol 👍👍👍
😂😂😂
Maybe a naive question, but doesnt the various stage work put the various engine components under more stress and increase the wear and tear of said componets? Anyway enjoyed watching the video. Petrol Ped will you be getting the factory ST Track Pack for your ST?
It’s does but at this level still well within the capability of the engine. It would however invalidate your warranty 👍
Got to love a fast Ford one of my mates has a mk1 Escort with a RS 2000 engine and a very short shift gearbox😂😂😂
Nice 👌
Fab what a car
👍
Nice
👍
You mention at 13:40 a LSD would add to this car, but to my knowledge it comes with a eLSD as stock, am I missing something?
Interesting to hear that torque steer is not too bad, 400hp through the front wheels is a lot. Wonder what it's like on a wet road without al LSD.
In Track torque steer is interesting 😜😂😂
They all have electronically controlled LSDs
Proper job..... :-))
👍
On stock turbo and fueling???
Evening Pete
Morning 😜😂
Good evening. What a great car. All the bangs, farts and chirps would annoy the hell out of me! Please excuse my ignorance but are they necessary? Can you get the same performance without and are they just for the boy racer. I would love to have one but that would be a show stopper for me. Keep up the good work.
I’m not sure how much the pops and bangs are in the map. If so I’m sure that could be removed. The Milltek does give you some overrun noises 👍
With the standard exhaust in normal mode, absolutely zero ASBO noises.... In Sport or Track, there is a hint and the odd cough but certainly nowhere near the level of the vid.... When choosing the tune to increase power from standard, with Dreamscience at least, you have to specify if you want the overrun with pops, bangs etc, but even then, they only really become apparent in Sport and track and you can specify anything from 0 to 2.5 seconds in 0.5 second increases.... I have a 330 bhp tune, black mk4 ST and unless people know what to look for, they could take it for a 1.5l st line - until there's a gap I the oncoming traffic anyway 😂😂
Just to qualify something, it does have an lsd, it's not mechanical, it is a borg Warner ediff.. a set of clutches on the drive shafts, with torque sensing technology.. its a shame Ford didn't invest in revonuckle, hyperstrut, dual-axsis technology which is a very sophisticated front suspension to reduce torque steer, Honda (Type R) and Renault (Megan RS Trophy/Cup), Ford (RS Focus MK2) did that.
It needs a Quaife ATB like the Fiesta ST 👍
@@PetrolPed there is something to be said by a mechanical LSD.. my little GRMN has a toren diff.. its a massive difference..
Hey Pete
Wha was the 0-60 on this I did not see you mention that
Also PS = ??
I gather UK speak for HP = Horse Power and 410 HP = 205 kW
not bad for a FWD hatch I recall the Vauxhall Astra VXR being quoted as an over powered Hot hatch but that was only 290 PS in 2018.
Have Revo played with the Vauxhall??
PS or PferdStarke is the metric measure of horsepower. It is the equivalent of 98.6% of one HP 👍
That waste gate sound is pure rally car. Love it!
Sure is 👌
I am thinking of ordering a new st focus and giving it to revo I have had 2 mk3 rs cars .
Good plan 👍
Yes. Nothing whatsoever about the ASBO overrun that shouts look at me.
😂😂😂
I love sleepers, take all the Revo badges off, re paint the wheels and callipers stock. I’d even go the whole hog and do a baby on board sticker.......🤣🇬🇧😘🇬🇧
LOL 😂
With that power increase is there much torque steer?
Yes in Track 👍
Nice review but do not most MK4 ST’s already have a mechanical LSD?
Every Petrol MK4 ST have eLSD
@@focustsport I thought it was an electronically controlled mechanical lsd
@@masonstorm1834 You re right. Thats eLSD. Mechanical but electronically controlled. So when you switch from Normal to Sport or Track, its change how it controlls the LSD and more
how fast is the 0-60?
Great cars but better than an RS, it isn't. The AWD system is so good when you really push it and that's missing on the mk4.
For me the Mk4 ST stock is a better car down a B road. That’s not saying the RS isn’t awesome 😜
Relying on AWD systems to boost a drivers ability is not recommended. Remember we must always be able to stop on our own side of the road within the distance you can see to be clear.
Is there any change to the clutch?
No 👎
Good Review of a once good car.
But that turbo and synthetic pops and bangs would annoy me.
I don’t want to let people know I’m coming.
Can u put those big brakes on with stock st wheels
They are 19in wheels also
I would think so but call Revo to check 👍
Heard from other tuners that the standard turbo can reliably only handle 370ish bhp so wonder how long before the turbo blows...?
no worry because the car does not more than 370 hp :D
@@focustsport 410ps is 404bhp, do revo over inflate there figures?
@@nitrooxide2521 i know one measured with 366 hp at a Revo pro dealer. Next one is teased at the same dealer. We will see what the next one will have. But me and a lot of people think the promised figures are not real or not reliably with the stock Downpipe/Cat and gpf
@M.G would be similar to the dream science tune?
@@focustsport410hp only with intercooler and an overpriced bullsh filter yea...never. That's the main reason no numbers have been quoted (I guess).
Shame they don’t have anything for the automatic!
Chirps, pops and bangs... What's not to like!! Cracking car that, I like it!!
Indeed 👌
More delicious food for the algorithm ;-)
👍
400bhp through the front wheels??
What's the point?
Looks like a great car to drive. But that noise would annoy me and the neighbors
😂😂😂
Dreamscience Stage 2 is 330 and this is 410?
Stage 1 dreamscape is 330 stage 2 is 365
Personally, I find all that chuffing & banging to be ridiculous! It would drive me nuts in a few minutes, never mind drawing the attention of the boys in blue.
To sum it up. Performance is great. Revo "Enhanced overrun" feature extremly annoying
What are the wheels on that?
They are from Revo 👍
How much will it cost?
Contact Revo. Details in the video description. Not as much as you think 👍
The focus RS mk3 is still a better looking car and it’s AWD. Hoping for to the new focus RS
Does it have the STOCK Turbo ???
Yes 👍
Does this application include my 2018 Focus ST bought in the USA ?
@@oceanhome2023 you'd need to check the ECU I.D with your local Revo dealer - www.onlyrevo.com/dealer-locator
Is 410 safe for the engine
Yep 👍
@@PetrolPed could you tell me how mutch boost pressure it ran thx for the reply
Hello mate
Hi 👋
ST is an ST
The RS is an RS . Can't compare imo.
Its Not about power or looks .
It's about the rich heritage of Rallye Sport 😉.
P.s I'm a Ford fan and like all Fast Ford's 👌
The ST is cheaper to get into and arguably has more scope for tuning. I’d also say the Mk4 ST is pretty close to the Mk3 RS even though it has AWD 👍
I've owned a mk1 focus rs, mk2 focus st, now currently a mk4 focus st and while I concede the rs does make you feel special when driving the difference between them is so small these days
IMPRESSIVE 👍. THE VLOG IN WHICH YOU DRIVE THE CAR IS MORE FUN. WHEN SOMEONE THING THAT HE CAN DRIVE BETTER THEN YOU OR HE GETS SCARED SITTING BESIDE YOU IS NOT WHAT I FIND AMUSING.
SEND ME A LINK IN WHICH YOU ARE DRIVING A CAR YOUR WAY. I THINK WHEN YOU SIT IN SOMEONES ELES CAR YOU DON'T OPEN UP AND TAKE IT TO THE EXTREMES
Your Caps Lock is stuck on 😂
Torque steer?
Oh yes 🙌
I was wondering the same. I’ve a Puma ST with less than half the power and even with the LSD, the torque steer is epic at full beans on an uneven road.
@@kevinmills5293 I got a stock Focus ST Edition and there's virtually no torque steer at all. You can feel a tiny little twitch in the steering wheel, but only really if you're looking for it. The old Mk3 had crazy torque steer.
Beast
no chance that ST is beating a mk3 RS on a B road, especially with no LSD...
I want to do that for a focus in spain! Caín i pass the annual check ITV with that Tune? Thanks
So hold on, you're telling me a MK4 ST can go stage 2 with essentially just an intercooler? And make 410bph?
Surely not? Sounds too good to be true
Exactly what I thought, unless they have a mahoosive turbo on there as stock this seems to break the laws of physics!
Looking at other comments on here it sounds like the numbers are very optimistic.
Yes. Intercooler and intake plus the map 👍
I’ve seen the dyno results 🤷♂️
@@PetrolPed put it on other dyno and then see how much that makes
@@x58evo2puma7 If you don't believe me go to the Revo Performance Centre, talk to the hardware and software design team and look and the data yourself
How can it possible revo obtain 410hp with no cat and gpf mod, and moontune 365 with ? Fake numbers ?
Without AWD, I think you need an LSD.
Yep 👍
Hi
Hi 👋
Pricey car tho but nice!
I thought the price of the Stage 2 performance pack was great value 👍
@@PetrolPed oh the stage 2 is good value but the car is not atm like 30k car.
@@danielwoodland9576 Bought mine at the end of 2019 brand new for £26,000 ( £300 month PCP ) that runs out in a couple of months. Planning to buy it outright for the 16,500 balloon payment and then possibly look to do a stage 1 upgrade. I have loved the car, it is such a great thing to drive and I came from a Mark 3.5 ST that I had from 2017 till 2019.
Only thing I would say is that used they are silly money. Mine with the 15k miles is almost £22,000 at WeBuyAnyCar..........!!!!!!!
@@stevemk4st649 37k alot of money to me I'll get a b58 engine instead tbh nice car tho
Evening All 🎉 tgippf
Hi 👋
Not sure I,d trust this chocolate engine with 400 BHP +, hope he,s got a warranty,.
These engines are fantastic in the Mk4, not heard of any issues.
