Thank you for continuing to make videos on the platform instead of moving on due to it being out of production.
A true man of Focus
Can't be more simple than that. You guys rock. Keep it up Edge 👊🏽
Love this video! Looking forward to seeing more videos in this new series!
I needed this!!! Absolutely awesome!!! Thank you
Good stuff man. I really look forward to seeing your shop someday.
Thank you for all the focus st videos! 👍🏽 I get a good amount of solid info from them
Thank you bro. Making it simple 🇺🇸
As someone who put this turbo in a bigger bodied fusion, has some steam to it! Puts the stock k03 to shame without a doubt.
Can you do this series for the focus rs as well
Mine has 262bhp and 285ft tq, no ecu, just air filter res delete and carbon clean, looking to do FMI and decat hoping should get about 285 hp without a map fingers crossed
id be happy if i can get close to 300 on stock turbo. i have no plans on doing fuel upgrades either, unless im in need of a HPFP replacement 😆 but mahalo for this info!🤙
Can you make a video on the Fiesta ST for 300hp?
Perfect timing for this video. Just bought the same car on the dyno. Reaching out to you soon for a 400hp build!
Looking forward to it!
@@EdgeAutosport I got a 2024 2.0 ecoboost Maverick, can you do a build on it . Mainly I’d like to see Auxiliary Port Injection ( see if Focus ST setup works) an intercooler and Turbo for 320-350 hp. I already did, intake, down pipe, catback and HP Tune as I found your channel to late and already got some components. It’s a Tremor edition so I’m going to need some more HP to handle the power robbing 33’s I have planned
Have been tuned on stock turbo E30 for a while now car has been great. VDyno says 299whp definitely surprised many cars on the road here in Australia - tuned LS based Holdens and XR6 Turbo (4L Turbo Barra 6cyl). My partner got an M235i with a tune and she chops me hard though haha
I’m making 298whp stock turbo on 93 fbo, tuned by early performance locally.
✌✌
what if you did the powermax turbo fmic and bolt ons parts how much will you gain?
Use a hybrid turbo,cold air intake,stage2 intercooler and a catback system . Mine has got 300+ with it.
Oh baby!
Going big turbo and definitely getting tuned through Edge!!
What kind of power would someone be looking at with the powermax and fbo with e30. So downpipe, exhaust and intake with the power max?
Edge auto is the best tunner for focus ,
Want it to last ,edge auto.
Still unable to download the Turbo Buyers Guide… Filled out the form, no download
Can you do this series but for the 10th gen honda civic si?
We have a rough plan to do this. Not sure when yet though!
Hi, love your videos on the focus st. Here in the uk we have 99 octane fuel. How does this affect the upgrades you recommend?
Much of the world uses a different method for octane ratings than the US. Just a quick search shows UK uses RON method I think. The USA uses (R+M)/2. So it's a different number but could mean the same thing. I would imagine our 93 octane is similar to your 99 but I'm not sure and would have to research more.
From the UK just searched, your 93 octane is basically our 99 ron 👍🏻
Have you guys done any work on the 2nd gen fusions with the same ecoboost 2.0? I’m curious cause my understanding is the main weakpoint is the transmission, and I keep seeing conflicting reports as to the max power and torque the 6f35 can take
I have this exact turbo in my 2nd gen 2.0 fusion. Send it bud
Can we get links to the other options? Like downpipe and intake and such that was in the video?
i think this will be in the 400 range option
There are so many options for a "Full bolt on" build, it doesn't make sense to add links to every part we sell. Hop over to the website and make sure your have: Intake, Downpipe, Intercooler, Exhaust.
How are the ots tunes on the accessport? I have full bolt ons but plan on going aux fuel and big turbo in thear future and really dont want to pay for 2 different tunes.
Cobb's OTS tunes are much more tame than ours, if you want more power, go with ours!
what if you run on 99 octane ?
I hate that I live remote Canada and currently can only get crappy 87….stopping me from going big turbo😢
You can buy octane booster they you pour into the gas tank. Most will bump you up to at least 93. Then you can get water/meth injection to raise it further. Look into fuel additives
Alan tuned my focus for e30. HE IS THE MAN🔥
Please post the 400!
Done!
I am curious what you can get on 91 on stock turbo. I want to build my ST to be STH legal but want 300 not sure if that's possible at all.
The stock turbo on 91 at sea level will spin out before it hits 300hp.
Hi is it possible stock turbo with all the bolt ons but in Australia we have 98 Oct
You most likely have gas similar to our 93. The US uses a different method for octane rating than most of the world. The fuel isn't as much of an issue as the limitations of the turbo.
Isn't the big wheel stocker slightly more power than the powermax and cheaper? Or is this just for the store cred recommendation?
I made 307 whp on e30 with BWS and all the bolt ons including a wastegate at sea level and 110-115 degree weather. Tuned by Alan too
What are them lights on the door pillar ?

With power and performance I like aesthetics... Maybe you can answer this. Painting or powder coating an intercooler a good or bad idea? I wouldn't want to spend hundreds on an upgrade just to make it useless...
I'm not a scientist, but in theory any layer added to an intercooler would most likely insulate it and stop it from transferring heat (That's its job). Some companies use colored THERMAL coating, designed to be more efficient at transferring heat, that might actually help. Mishimoto powder coats in sliver, black, and gold, (I haven't found any tech specs on the paint from them) but their product is fantastic. SO, I guess I can't really answer that question.
For the escape guys, its hard for us because while the engine can handle the power and torque, the trans cant handle it
Wanna get one soon and will have like 10 grand extra to put into it but I want reliable power what do you think I should do
If you follow the steps in this video, you can't go wrong! Acessport, interrcooler, powermax, reliable power.
So if I'm full bolt on and then throw the powermax at it, I can easily sit at/above 300 without stressing the turbo too much?
Correct!
Is the Cpe 3.5 inch (lightweight core) big enough for Garret power max turbo??
Yes! The powermax is a OEM+ and any quality aftermarket intercooler will be much better than the original intercooler
As a a vb WRX owner that makes 400+ hp on an intake and a tune, I approve this video.
Alan, I got FMIC, Intake, Catless Downpipe, charge pipes with stock turbo tuned on 93. what kind of number could i expect if a I added a 2867 BT?
350whp -> 400whp with fueling
Focus ST is fuel limited to 380hp, in stock form, I believe.
We will cover this in the next video. Spoiler: you do need to address the fueling issue
Did u recomend me put a big turbo on a 100k miles focus st ??
I’m going big turbo at 126k miles. as long as the vehicle is healthy you will be fine
What about 350-375whp? Looking to stay a bit more reliable.
The 400hp video covers exactly how to get to the limit of the stock fuel system right around 375hp.
ua-cam.com/video/vw_MKa56TpM/v-deo.html
that is quite smart way to do the videos but what about putting the package in your website, package 300, package 400, package 500 with internal and option aux fuel or xd injectors
Will the garrett power max fit onto my mk3 2012 st 250 2.0 ecoboost?
I can't guarantee, but I'm pretty sure it'll fit. That's the first year of the mk3 internationally and the USA got the mk3 in 2013.
@@EdgeAutosport thanks for replying
Can u hit 350-ish mark with powermax, tune and bolt ons?
Full bolt on with powermax will do it, but the turbo will be stressed
@@EdgeAutosport so 2867 would be the way to go?
What can you do with a Maverick?
Lots of things! Here is a link to a Baseline tune to get things started. Intake, exhaust, intercooler, and eventually big turbo coming soon...
ua-cam.com/video/Ik66n1ciO6o/v-deo.html
With FBO and that’s turbo can you hit 325+ on 93 Octane?
You’ll be there, but the turbo will be near maxed out. The recommended turbo usually is a GTX2867r Gen 2. You’ll be able to easily make 350+ wheel with plenty of room to play with.
Correct.
Will that turbo still passes smog?
Yes. It's OEM plus
where are you guys located?
Just outside of Denver CO!
Would I be able to run 91 and 93?
91 and 93 don't have enough power to get to 300hp with the stock turbo. If you upgrade to the Powermax you can run 91 and 93.
How about stock turbo with the engine stroked to a 2.3? What kind of horsepower would you get from that setup. This is with an updated intercooler and Ford Performance tune.
Will this setup make it to 350hp?
No.
Don’t they come standard with 280hp?
252 is the factory rating at the crank. They typically dyno at around 230whp stock.
by the time I will be able to afford to powermax, it will be close to a big turbo setup...😢
Don't be sad, you can skip the powermax and go straight to 400+
@@EdgeAutosport you read my mind 😊 I seriously consider the gtx2867 or 2871. Regarding the characteristics... well, I burnt enough rubber between 3-5k RPM, and ready to do this between 4.5-7k 😁
How about a video on the middle of 350hp?
We touched on it here, full bolt on with the powermax and an e-30 blend will get you there
I guess i need a bigger 🐌
Am from South Africa,Can I pls be yr student ❤
There shouldn’t be any need for a Garret powermax, I’m making 298whp on 93 octane, on the dyno stock turbo FBO 352lb ft of torque!
Like he said it's easier and more reliably. The little k03 stock will have a hard time surviving and is not the same for everyone. It might cook itself .
Why not both 🤷🏻♂️
You can definitely go with both and get even more! We were just discussing ways to get to 300.
