Got one in Australia a couple of weeks ago. Called an XR5 here. Had been searching for one for over a year without engine issues/excessive body damage and the right price. Not easy to find under $15000 AUD without issues these days.
@@Roadwarrior92 i'd bet cylinder sleeve cracked. And he had to replace like 30% of the engine & put reinforcement around top of the sleeve to keep them from cracking. And if engine is out & open he could put forged internals & port head. 700+ avilable :)
Love the sound of the 5 pot, but I'm afraid that the manufactured machine gun sounds are not my cup of tea. Being of a certain age, I remember when high performance cars with carbs made the occasional pop on the over-run. I suppose that this was the inspiration behind today's sonic popfest which, I believe (but please correct me if I'm wrong) is the result of fuel being fed to the hot exhaust by design. Anyway, love the 5 pots and your videos, not so sure about the pops. Cheers.
I have to admit, Super Lazy, that fuel injection and turbos are a mystery to me, but I'm willing to learn about the workings in a broad sense - too long in the tooth to delve into the details. Re-mapping in my day was playing with needles and jets. There seems to be a lot more to adjust nowadays, so I suppose pops are created because ..........they can be. 🤔
@@BarryCatt ecu is computer that controls the timing, so it can basically move the timing of spark and allow fuel through to be ignited in the exhaust pipes. I may be way off but that's my interpretation of it.. I'm a home gamer too and by no means an expert
Barry Catt Can’t disagree.. as a current owner of a Mk2 RS, I’m also of an age where a pair of 45 Weber’s on a 2L Pinto were where it was at.. They were on my wish list back in ‘89 for my MkV Cortina
So i got a Volvo S40 T5, basically the same engine and drivetrain, no R-design, some nice wheels, a little lower Bilstein Suspension and a "custom" Twin exhaust. Tuned to about 270hp, some bolt-on mods and small stuff, nothing insane. Its really fun at meets when you have something that looks like the most basicass car sound like this and outperform every E46, c-class, civic and whatever else shows up. and im gonna argue that, here in germany, a decent E46 is gonna cost you about the same, slightly less maybe.
FOCUS NOW: Recent NPC 4-cylinder and 3-cylinder Focus generations: Hur hur hur I'm a Mazdaspeed3 competitor World: eh FOCUS THEN (12:19): British 5-cylinder Focus: mmmrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRBANGGGG World: Wot?
Yes but no, different head, cylinders, turbo, rods, cams and basically everything else but the block was upgraded. That engine, as configured by Ford, never went to see any Volvo.
Picked up a MK 2 ST a few weeks ago (badged as XR5 Turbo in Aus) and omg I'm so impressed, what a pig of a car, 5cylinder has such a deep throaty growl
TheSilentGameTestR it’s the same in any other Volvo what you talking about when it’s in a Ford. If the heart is a Volvo all 5 cylinders sound alike. Lol
One of the best sounding cars out there, hands down, annoys me as well when people drive round with their side lights fog lights on @3:18, like ffs just put your headlights on, they work so much better, and it’s not even foggy. All for show I get it but it ain’t no good when you can’t see 10ft in front of you 😂🤦🏼♂️
Superb engine. Had one a couple of years ago. Plenty of power, and for a 5 pot with only 5 gears, it was actually pretty good on fuel too 🤣. Sound was incredible though, much like these Volvo 5 pots 👌
Was this video for fords only , as you could have added some Volvo’s and rs3’s in too , but fair enough if it was only for fords , maybe in the future 👍🏻
@@TunedVXR I was looking for 3month for a decent stock one. I know I was going to do mods and buying a modded one would be cheaper then buying the parts my self. But atleast I know it will be done correctly and how it's been driven previously
How to achieve that deep roar sound almost like a jet kinda? I mean the stock rs dont sound as much as these do.. Simply do you need a good exhaust, and with straight pipe to get that sound or which moods exactly to get this sound fx. at 0:08 - not speaking of the pops and bangs, but the sound itself. Cheers
Uprated exhaust with no resonators, decat and downpipe gives a deep roar. Then a pops and bang remap if you want the bangs and flames. Best off doing the mod block update as the cylinder walls don't like that kind of remap
The BEST Generation of RS & ST~~
Yes :)
I will 2000%out of 100 %agree
What year is that?
@@8wealthyone8 the car
Yes it is the best gen for rs and St
I'd argue that 5 pot is the best sounding engine there is
Couldn't agree with you more..
Only topped by the all-mighty V10s.
Nah lambo v12 aventador
Audi r5 engines would argue otherwise
@turk turklington damn, couldnt of said it better myself than 😂
One of the best sounding engines ever.
Got to love the sound of a 5 cylinder engine
Mk2 RS still looks so good & better than the Mk3
even mk4
Ian Townsend better sound, but I like both looks. The mk2 and the mk3. But Mk4 looks to brave
Ian Townsend if RS mk2 would be 4x4 then it would be best RS ever made
And MK 4 ST .....
@Lloyde Turner You must like the new Mini GP. Because thats exactly what that does
used to love my Focus ST, was running over 300bhp and sounded spot on especially when you nailed the gear change at the right time ;)
Ford Focus RS/ST & Audi RS3 Is The Best's 5 Cylinder cars!
I forgot about this one,but it sure is also included in my list
Volvo T5 is up there
@Acca Larentia its just not though is it. cool? yes. better than an rs3? lol.
please don't put audis and fords in the same boatfords are shit compared to a german quality
@@juststeve8736 Sorry steve, but the focus is made in germany! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saarlouis_Body_%26_Assembly
The main reason I bought the 2.5 st. Sounds immense
Id never get bored with that sound
This is one of the best videos ive seen in a long time!
@Acca Larentia it's true tho gotta love a 5 cylinder
The Volvo 5 pot is 100% the best sounding engine. I bought my ST for this sound...well and the fact its bright orange lol.
I’m buying a v50 T5 and so keen to build a sleeper
100% my resoning behind mine
Same here
10:27 - This is what having an ST is all about
About having a focus rs
this is probably my fav sounding car
That noise plus a little touch of blow off.. best ever😍😍😍
I like how 5 cylinder sounds like a v10
I miss my TVR, but still loving the RS...5 cylinder and V8 noise.. Nice compilation 👌
You actually owned a TVR? That requires some balls
@@ricardocruz3007 My Dad used to own a TVR wedge 4.2 v8. Sounded amazing but he had to sell it :/

Best 14 minutes 24 seconds I’ve ever spent on UA-cam

Problem is turbo reduction, air off, its bad for power
It's balls were grinding against the road.
I just realised that place that the Ford was leaving from is near where I live
Any idea what the noise was/ is?
Love the Focus ❤️💚💙
this is a car that can rev non stop at a car meet and no one would get sick of it
Based on most of the comments on my videos of these, everyone has got sick of them.
So i got a Volvo S40 T5, basically the same engine and drivetrain, no R-design, some nice wheels, a little lower Bilstein Suspension and a "custom" Twin exhaust. Tuned to about 270hp, some bolt-on mods and small stuff, nothing insane.

As an owner of an st wouldn't change it for any modern hot hatch doesn't matter how much petrol it goes through
2:13 that exhaust omg
Dare say its a kms section 18 sounds like one for sure
@@camsty1225 yeah
Im surprised this video isnt at least an hour long with how much adam encounters these things
2:20 Oooooo FUCK!! the previous gen ST/RS sounds so much better than the newer mk III
Best sounding hot hatch on the road next to an RS3
volvo 5 cyl fantastic sound, beautiful car
Even with the MK3 here, the MK2 RS is still my dream car and we don’t have it in the US
The guy saw a flaming focus and thought he was smart by putting his foot but the exhaust and the car flames 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
11:27 looks sensational with that color and vinyl on it
I love 5 cylinder engine😍 I Will have one fokus rs mk2
Damn the things I'd do to get this imported to the US
Judging by how many times you see it in these types of videos... This should’ve been 14 hours long...

Fellas I’m coping an XR5 Turbo as my first car this weekend! Upgraded exhaust & filter! Worked hard for it so i cant wait to send it with the boisss!!

Correct me if im wrong, But im pretty sure the only volvo engine ford used was the 2.5 in the focus ST. That motor was taken from the v50 t5
StreatBeatsAudio Subwoofers the ST did actually use a volvo T50 R engine but the RS used a more modern 5 cylinder from a volvo S60 R
