Great format video. Enjoyed it. I’m still around even though I’ve gotten rid of the RS. May have to pop in for a Dyno run if I can figure out how to do it without the ABS going nuts 😅
Totally agree with you john3917 - however looking to get one of these MK3 RS's beauties in the next month or so, but slightly being put off with the various report's of the engine being sent back to ford ( under warranty ) with main issue of head gasket replacement, engine rattle noises, drive mode selection issue.. list goes on. Should i be looking at fully forged engine for reliability and to cover all aspects of the stage 2 map afterwards? and another great vid Ben.
Mine is 5 years old in November, it has been faultless since new. I had the recall carried out even though nothing was wrong with the car and 3 years later its still all good. Fantastic cars and still unique even with manufacturers finally starting to copy the technology as it has a manual 'box.
ive had my RS Edition since 2019, not a single thing wrong with it and i drive it hard out here on the Spanish roads. If you want the standard one just make sure its got the right gasket on, my advice, save up an extra few quid and get the RS Edition with all the kit on it as standared plus the LSD in the front. Search on youtube for Fezza and a video he did testing an edition against the normal one which he had. thats my car.
I am considering a REVO 1 or 2 for my Mk3 RS. Tricky question but objectively what should I expect in terms of reliability on long term and also what kind of maintenance would it require (oil changes every 5000 miles for example?). I understand and accept that extra mechanical stress on components decreases the life of the engine but would I need some major fixes let us say in 100 000 miles or what is the ballpark? I was seeing cracked engine blocks (cylinder 2 if i am correct), clutches slipping and I am not sure at what level of tuning it would start to go bad very quick? Thanks in advance.
This is an almost impossible question to answer. There is always a danger associated with anything, however there're cases of failure regardless of tuning. The biggest thing is to be aware - when done correctly there should be no greater risk in all honesty. Its a tough call, we understand that, especially as our own RS failed. Great question in fairness.
Measured in wheel horsepower where the manufacturer quote power at the crank. Also worth mentioning alot of RS don't make the quoted hp figure anyway, most are around 330 ish stock
Yet again a great video
Thank you, appreciate the feedback 🙏
Nice work Ben and darran and All @BD great work
🙌
Good video. I'm sure people will want to know bhp figures though although whp s also nice to know.
Thank you 🙏
Good video
awsome vids i live in wales so these guys are getting my car to work on for sure
Look forward to hearing from you 🙏
Great video guys. I’m thinking I should get the same numbers in my next week tune
Interesting stuff and many thanks again lads
Welcome
good video and great explanation on what your doing top stuff
Thank you 🙏

I’m sure we can!
Glad you enjoyed and look forward to seeing you even if it’s just for a brew
@@BDPerformanceWrexham get the coffee on. Black no sugar 😉
Great video!
Thank you
Nice men!! Thanks!
Great video would be interesting to put st225 on revo stage 2 and see what you're dyno shows
Next one we do, which should be in a few weeks - we will oblige sir 🙌
That would be interesting 🙂
So no EcoBOOM!!!
Great upload and nice POWER!! gain
Exactly as quoted and nice for the customer!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 💙
It is nerve racking with these engines not forged or 2L block converted
Who picks the music for your videos? Absolutely class
Lee; who edits the videos 💙

@@tracktimevideos5164 Thanks for you're reassurance - so should i be looking for one that been done? ( head gasket ) or will it be luck of the draw?
@@jayj9797 the one affected should all have beem done by now. Just find one that an owner knows it has been done on.
@@tracktimevideos5164 that’s true, cheers fella

Good questions, interesting to see @BD Performance reply to this

@@BDPerformanceWrexham Did already ecoboom?Because stock rods cant handle that huge torque gain
Great work....
Just out of interest, where are the exhaust fumes going ?
Also why isn't the blue fan on the dyno aiming at the intercooler??
There’s a 500mm centrifugal fan underneath the little blue carpet blower. That’s the one that supplied the intercooler; the other points at the bay 🙌
@@BDPerformanceWrexham Oh, I see. Thanks for the reply Ben 👍
How to desactive?
On pump gas?
Be nice to see ceri rs on this dyno
Next time maybe 😉
I have a kuga ST line 180 ps diesel, would it be worth having it remapped to get a bit more power, or a tuning Box?
They’ll never sound as good as the 5pot st/rs’s #fartinacan
But they are equally cool 😎
Yeah your right, but please tell us what does sound as good or better than the 5 pot on a 3" decatted system 🤔🤔............ I'll wait.
360HP being a 90HP gain? I thought that from factory it's 345HP anyway so how does that work?

I like REVO, but id have just cleaned the K&N and kept that. It will be better than REVO's one.
I assure you the REVO one is amazing quality; equal if not better
@@BDPerformanceWrexham why did you go for the Revo over the Ramair with BD performance filter?
@@anthonyproud2551 we don’t do a full kit for these anymore and we are Revo dealers; plus you have to admit the carbon looks amazing 🤩
So much useless rambling. Just get to the points.
We try to improve each video; just very hard. We do our best 🙏
