He needs more subscriber's his videos are great so much more interesting then just a couple of people messing around he actually knows what his talking about
The music is loud but the presenter is also fairly soft spoken and not always speaking toward the mic it seems. I like the video but would appreciate more though out in to the audibility as I'm a little hard of hearing in the first place.
not sure if anyone cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf these days :)
You could literally drop a front bumper off a fiesta in your sleep,I've lost count how many times you've had to have it off steve! 😂 Great video as always!
Can't find the post again on Facebook where someone asked about them splitting. Seen your comment and link about flow and pressure behind hampers flow and cooling efficiency,, can't help thinking the same is happening to the radiator itself with the massive fan shroud.. days of old mainly just used to use a fan on the rad and no shrouds. I'm thinking of maybe cutting away some shroud,, but many seem to upgrade the radiators but that's a bit of an expense
Flicking through the comments and I like how you took your time to pin and reply to your audience. Top bloke In regards to the dust blowing through the doors couldn’t you fit some draft excluders which look like brushes along the bottom?
Thanks. I plan on building new doors and sealing the drive at some point. But I have thought of draft strips on the bottom so may put some on as I'm pretty slow at getting jobs done unless it's on the car😉
Spark Plug Steve you should see my back garden I’ve been working on it for months now and it still looks like I’ve done nothing! The rain hasn’t helped and the scaffolders left up the scaffolding for 3 weeks which hasn’t helped as it was dry those 3 weeks lol
For gluing those mounting points back on, use some Q-Bond. Absolutely amazing stuff. You can then sand it down and spray it/use a touch up pen to match 👍👍
Good comparrison re:lag. The little 1.6 ecobeast doesn't drive anything like turbo cars of the 80's and 90's of much bigger displacement. The cooler looks great. You shouldn't see much heat soak from intake temps now.
From an aesthetic perspective do you think intercoolers look better black on the St180? Or is it more so a case of that you don't care about the look because unpainted intercoolers are more efficient?
@@Sparkplugsteve Same here the silver behind the black honey comb grill doesnt work for me. Apparently a basic spray painted black intercooler doesnt really lose noticeable efficiency, so I'll probably do that. even though I'm in Australia and our temps are higher here.
State boy here, I'm looking at running the RS bumper cover conversion and I believe that model intercooler.. Pumaspeed lists that one with a crash bar as well. Any idea if the crash bar actually relocates itself further forward in comparison with the factory Euro spec?
Don’t know if anyone’s suggested or if your not keen but why don’t you get some holes drilled behind reg plate and take it off for track days, get that extra bit of air flying in
Watching again as I just bought an Intercooler. I almost got the 400 Gen 2 under your code but something else came up on sale. Why did you end up choosing Pumaspeed 2r? Did you drive any other cars with different brand remaps?
Spark Plug Steve Thought so, got a pro cooler to fit tomorrow so hoping it’s straight forward. Never taken the bumper off before though so will see how that goes
Will it affect the cooling of the engine radiator? I take it it has intercooler in front then aircon rad then radiator? Great video Steve it looks great from the front now 👍
Great video as always full of useful info. any-chance of less music when you are talking. For me it was hard to hear you. My ears arent what they used to be. Thanks
I'm not an expert on it but potentially there could be a power gain I guess if the I take temps are colder. But the reason for my swap was exactly what you said.
@@Sparkplugsteve maybe look at where your air intake is picking up its air, lagging of the intake pipes and turbo to cut down on heat sink from under bonnet temps. Looks naff but bonnet hinge risers to aid for under bonnet cooling. Iv experienced more laggy from larger intercoolers back when I had rs turbo escorts.
Enjoy the videos Steve. Keep up with the content. However, cant agree with the choice of cooler here. Its an 'ebay' core with fabricated end tanks to suit. Whilst it will certainly do a job, its thermal efficency is terrible. Ive seen several back to back tests of ebay cores measuring pre and post IAT's along with boost pressure drops against other brands and it performed terrible. Im happy to be prooven wrong with some proven logged evidence however. Keep up the good work mate
I will be very surprised if you will need the water spray with the new intercooler, I've been running one pretty much since they released it and even in those 40 degree days I had no issues and the lag issue you've found I don't get with my x47r
Excellent video Steve. You won't have any heat soak now, just maximum power lap after lap! Just one thing - I wouldn't trust those jubilee clips on boost hoses, in my experience they never stay tight, put some stainless steel T bolt clamps on there next time the bumper is off. Gets a thumbs up from me.:-)
Its makes sense if you think about it. The internal volume of de intercooler increases more theb 100%. So for the turbo the produce the same amount of boost it needs to pressure up that increased volume... takes x amount of time =/= increased lag.
Big wayne from trealaw can weld that cracked ali tab back on the old intercooler.he does all my tig welding for me and dont take piss on prices for ali or stainless welding he does 👍
@@Sparkplugsteve no worry dude . Why dont you use a hole saw behind number plate for more air flow on intercooler as you can take number plate off the front for track days.worked a treat on my old super charged golf years ago with the custom intercooler that i designed that allards made me from monmouth .. center of cooler will get air behind number plate then ??
Spark Plug Steve yes thats true. I had wrote the comment while it was happening as I thought it was going to be the full video! Apologies. Keep up the good work!
@@bossnutkenzo1209 I only realised after it was uploaded. It was too. Much work to redo it and what I said wasnt important. I was only sating about the broken bracket. Thanks for watching.👌
As an owner of a 16' fiesta st in the states, your build is my favorite. Top shelf stuff SPS!!
Thank you very much.

Great install Steve. Car looks super aggressive with that cooler.
How can mine take 10 minutes and yours takes a mission aha. Mind blown. Thanks for the shoutout mate! Love the video as always
Mine took about an hour. 🙈
@@Sparkplugsteve Aha sorry mate, lead you into a long old job. Looks great now though!
These ST s such a perfect tuners car and with fantastic potentials. Great little pocket rocket.
Can't hear you over the music, Steve. Would prefer a quieter video with you speaking and sounds of tools while you work.

Another great video Steve..inter cooler upgrade next on my shopping list for the focus mk1👍👍
For gluing those mounting points back on, use some Q-Bond. Absolutely amazing stuff. You can then sand it down and spray it/use a touch up pen to match 👍👍
I realised later but didn't mention it that every tab was snapped. I done a quick fix with screws but will probably bind the part to the bumper.
nice result.. good to see you kept the water spray will have to wait to next summer to see if it stands up to the temps. :)
Another great video bud. That intercooler look mint behind the grille.
Dude. That intercooler is huge! Bigger than the one on my scoob from my channel! Wow!
Great install video and love that intercooler, but what is going on over there in Wales, it was dry I didn't see any rain ❓❓

Nice little nod to the MCM guys with the farting intercooler, lol!
The last thing i ever expected to see here was my favourite vape reviewer, what a small world and then to find that you’re an MCM fan too, mind blown!
@@peteryoung1675 Ey up mate! Big fan of MCM and SPS, 😁😁
What size turbo you running looks a little big for a single turbo 1.6. Almost the size i use for my twin turbo explorer st .
Would you recommend this cooler as a slightly cheaper option to Airtec? Especially now because Airtec have risen in price :)
Looking good.nice work Steve
great video steve, 1 question. what is that small silver hose for by the intercooler. that was cable tied to the I/C pipe?
It's a brake duct,
Bummer about those (now missing) mounting points on the bumper, but the replacement R-Sport intercooler looks (and sounds) great!
That looks brilliant!!!! Great upload 👍👍
Thank you.
What front bumper is that? It’s not the standard one
Best Intercooler in my opinion for the money ..Got one on my Mk 2 ..awesome but of kit
Did you get the hard pipe kit as well
Loving the look
Looks awesome well done
Looks sick mate
Hopefully youre water temp wont rise when on track now with that new intercooler blocking the rad.
Il Spray it.😉
Watching again as I just bought an Intercooler. I almost got the 400 Gen 2 under your code but something else came up on sale.
Why did you end up choosing Pumaspeed 2r? Did you drive any other cars with different brand remaps?
Looks spot on chap 👌
Another great vid ! thanks
Enjoying the videos, would be cool to see you do a indepth Ecoboost Westfield build
I am surprised you didn't go full black on the intercooler. :D
what the name of the background music Steve?
Is this a similar process for all stage 3 coolers Steve?
This is the only big one iv fitted but I expect most are very much the same fitment.
Spark Plug Steve Thought so, got a pro cooler to fit tomorrow so hoping it’s straight forward. Never taken the bumper off before though so will see how that goes
Will it affect the cooling of the engine radiator? I take it it has intercooler in front then aircon rad then radiator? Great video Steve it looks great from the front now 👍
It may have some effect but loads of big power fiestas are running big intercooler so should be ok. Time will tell.
You can always go bigger radiator too. Been seeing plenty of those options online
Looks sick that mate
Do the bolts come with the intercooler or are they already bolted on the standard intercooler?
The bolts are already there I think on a standard front end.
Steve not sure if it was this car you done it to but can you install a Diverter Valve to it to reduce some of the turbo lag?
Yeh it's already on this car.
Proper smart that mate
Car looks awesome, did you go to fordfair Silverstone
Thanks and no I didn't.
Go big. Do you not need remap for that, just asking?
No it's fine on the map I have.
Great video as always full of useful info. any-chance of less music when you are talking. For me it was hard to hear you. My ears arent what they used to be. Thanks
Thank you. Yeh I made an editing mistake and forgot to crop the music at one point.
Still running this or on airtec stage 3 now?
No sold this for airtec stage 3
@@Sparkplugsteve worth the upgrade?
Looks aggressive I like it 😎😎
So a bigger inter cooler only stops the car from getting heat soaked and losing power,it doesn’t add power
I'm not an expert on it but potentially there could be a power gain I guess if the I take temps are colder. But the reason for my swap was exactly what you said.
What is discount code pumaspeed ? Thanks
Put 'teamsps' in the search bar and a selection of reduced products appear.
Looking for some good rear shockers for my st any recommendations guys

I’d personally get shot of that bumper, nothing beats oem quality. Nothing worse than a crappy fibreglass one. Love the channel though 👍🏼👍🏼
Does anybody know If this will fit the usdm FiST?
Great install!👍 but the intercooler should definitely been painted black, way to dominating, but just my opinion 😀
Can we expect full stage 3?
Not anytime soon. Got a lot to do on the handling first.
The fiesta doesn't need that much induction cooling, it's far too big even with hybrid charger. Some don't realise bigger isn't better.
I guess you haven't seen my previous video where car was In Limp mode from high temps?
@@Sparkplugsteve maybe look at where your air intake is picking up its air, lagging of the intake pipes and turbo to cut down on heat sink from under bonnet temps.

Hi thanks for watching the videos. Time will tell if it's a good choice
I'd have a look at the data out and about from other tuners and from PumaSpeed themselves about the qualities of this cooler (y)
Would be good to see you strip it out and get some bucket seats in !
Bucket seat goes in this Weekend.
I will be very surprised if you will need the water spray with the new intercooler, I've been running one pretty much since they released it and even in those 40 degree days I had no issues and the lag issue you've found I don't get with my x47r
Aye true. Guess the lag is because I'm still srandard turbo.
Excellent video Steve. You won't have any heat soak now, just maximum power lap after lap!

Its makes sense if you think about it. The internal volume of de intercooler increases more theb 100%. So for the turbo the produce the same amount of boost it needs to pressure up that increased volume... takes x amount of time =/= increased lag.
Aren't you afraid of sacrificing engine cooling vs IAT cooling. It blocks most of the radiator.
I would be if it wasn't for many I know using them on track with no issues.
You need to get yourself a video editor to do your videos for you 😂
I suck at editing I will Admit. My laptop is very poor so not powerful enough it run a decent editing programme.
We all love you don't worry 😉
Can you fit an intercooler to a mk6 fiesta 1.25
Of course.
