Cheers for the video...Glad you gave it a thumbs up, mine is booked in to have the MP215 fitted Wednesday morning!
Enjoy, cheers!
I agree 3rd gear was my main gear I used with the 215 the 230 makes 1st and 2nd phenomenal I noticed you have the exhaust now so you will slowly get there and you will not be disappointed
Ah nice one!
well done mate on another great review..picked up.my st2 on tues and seriously loving it...keep up with the vlogs
cheers dude!
Thank's for the update and thoughts on the remap after a couple of weeks of ownership @ Adam!
Hi Terry, remap is great, I haven't looked back :D
Hey Adam had my mp215 fitted today. Love it to be honest. I didn’t feel the shove in third gear as much as you say but then I haven’t done motorway speeds yet and I imagine that’s where it really comes into play... one thing I have to say. In mine I actually I noticed second gear was a quite a bit more torque. Infact it spins the wheels a bit when I go for it in second. Overall verryyy happy. Very underated 👋
Nice one Robert! You need to head down to Mexico and really open it up ;)
Adam Rainey haha that would be a hell of a drive from South Wales! Off to castle Coombe race track this Saturday so may have to have a cheeky ten laps. What tyres do you recommend by the way? I’m currently running eagle f1 asymmetric 3’s
Hey man great video, i bought my 2013 ST MP215 last week, loving it so far!
Cheers! It is definitely a must have for all ST owners :D
Adam Rainey hey adam just watched ur preview on the mountune 215 and I'm picking my 2016 plate up Saturday should I get the cob access point stick remote thing lol.but if it is not with the car should I be asking the dealership where it is or is that not a problem if they don't have it...and great preview by the way
Hi Paul, if you are getting a car that is 215 already but doesn't have the accessport/mtune it is likely that it was tuned at a dealership who would have used a laptop to load the tune. If you live in the UK I'm not sure if you could get an accessport to just plug in and go. We seem to be restricted to what mountune will let us have. Cheers!
Adam Rainey thanks adam
Adam Rainey we have gone from a edition 30 golf gti to the fiesta st mountune so hopefully my wife and I eont be dissapointed
Hi Adam,
I will be getting my fiesta st this year, I had the old ST and loved it but sold it for a BMW 3 series and hated it, so then priced myself out of having the fiesta st and ended up with fiesta zetec S, so I'm just trying to find out as much as I can before I put a smile back on my face with the st, so what's an induction kit do on top of a mountune upgrade?
Thanks Jay
Another Great video! :) Im collecting my ST in a couple of weeks! :D can't wait!
Thanks mate :) You will have a tonne of fun!
Adam Rainey welcome mate! I just sold my MK6 Zetec s this evening :( bus life till i get my ST
Hello Adam, great video as ever! i have stage 1 by DVX Performance, as you know, and it´s similar to Mountune MP215. Very important air intake, i felt increasing of power, but it´s important too GFB (go fast bits) turbo valve that i put for lag of turbo, it works better, it´s bigger and faster than stock turbo valve. And another thing that i made with remap was the gasoline: i put 98 octanes now, i put 95 in the begining.
Cheers!
sentencia sentencia i asked mountune about using the gfb dv valve with there mp215 they there is no need to its all been tested using the ome valve and don't recommend it
fluffymat1 May be as Mountune and you tell but the GFB valve is bigger and faster than stock valve, i should like you see it. I felt more power in down when i put it. A friend of mine, that is specialist in turbos, tell me that he likes more than stock valve too and he knows about this. I only feel that i 'm very happy in this moment as my car run.... : D
Hey man, good vid. Having driven for 10 years my first car (CRX mk 2) and now upgraded to 2013 ST MP 215 just like yours, I do have some really unpleasant experience with the gearing and I would love to get anyone else's opinion on this. The CRX had a very light flywheel with almost instantaneous rev response, and I could easily rev match up and down. In comparison the ST flywheel feels many times heavier, when I rev match I have to account for like 1-1.5 sec delayed revving from pressing the gas until the desired rev. Also another issue I have is the huge stepping between 1st and 2nd gear, this affects worst when I start up an incline and when shifting up into 2nd I would like to do it so that upon shifting the revs are at 2000+ since I am climbing an incline and don't want to lug the engine. But to do so, I need to rev in 1st gear up to 4000-4500 before upshifting so I can continue at 2000 in 2nd. If you want to drive civilized in the city this is pretty insane. And the final issue I have is the rev hang, when I upshift I either de-clutch fast and the car jerks forward strongly because of the revs are kept up, or I have to wait with the clutch pressed for 2-3 seconds until they climb down slowly to a rev match so I can shift smoothly and feel comfortable.
Sorry for the long text but would love to hear someone else's opinion. And don't get me wrong I'm not an old fart wanting to drive it like a Prius, but I could drive really fast AND comfortable aat the same time on my CRX by rev matching accurately, but on the ST it seems I have to choose either one or the other (fast shifts with strong jerks forward, or super slow shifts to achieve rev matching). Peace out.
Quality video mate! Quick question if I may, have you noticed a change in mpg since upgrading to the mp215?
Cheers! I haven't noticed much of a difference. I generally hoon it a bit so my mpg isn't as good as it could be lol but no discernible difference with the 215 kit
In Australia, I notice the MP215 improvement in each and every gear... especially above 4500 RPM in first... it gets to 6500 much quicker... then the biggest improvement for me is second and third... and I think there's no boost handicap in second any more.
2nd is definitely restricted
Ordered my ST3 MP215 for new 17 reg - getting close now - cant wait and I'm 55. Great review. Not waiting for new 3 cyl version. 3 cyl thrum is awful
Yea the 3 cylinder I have my doubts about, certainly as far as tuning potential goes but we shall see in 2018. Cheers!
Nice review mate, looking at one of these or a megane rs265 for my next car.
Cheers dude :) Get the Fiesta ;)
Great review buddy.
Cheers mate!
Had A Fiesta 215 mountune with other bits n bobs on for 18 months on moorland roads always got a smile on my face even though am going through a set of pilot sports within 12 months at 450 a set. We need a 4wd Fiesta RS speed and power
Fiesta RS would be awesome :)
@@AdamRainey 4 wd n 300+ hp if it 30k I'd get in the red fa that.... Ya vids r mint thank u man
One thing I think could've been added is the mp215 doesn't include is the induction silicone hose which is another £90-100 on top otherwise good review
Good review m8. Thanks 👍
Thanks Robert :)
Great video ! I think I'm going to get the dream science tune instead of mp215
Cheers! Cool man, I'm sure most stage 1 tunes will be fairly similar
Hi Adam,
Do you have to have the mountune professionally fitted or can you buy it and do it yourself?
Thank you Jay
Hi Jay, you can buy it and do it yourself as long as you feel comfortable doing it! Cheers :)
Looking at getting this done in about 1-2 years time, paying the car off over 5 years. I'm a bit of a noob with cars and car mods if im honest
I looked at the Mountune website and looks like you have to take it to them to get done at their HQ and not do it yourself.
Do you use regular Unleaded Fuel or do you use the Premium one out of curiosity, when i first got the car the dealer said use regular and every now and then put in a bit of Premium, dont know if thats just to have cleaner fuel/engine. I got a 17 plate keep hearing about these Eco Boost problems.
You will love it if you get it done. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself then you can get it done at a range of dealerships around the country but you can certainly do it yourself and it won't affect warranty as long as you do it right ;) I always use 97 octane fuel. They would have said that for the cleaning agents they put in premium yea but I run premium for that plus a brighter burn, even if it is only a small improvement. You will be grand with a 17 plate, the problem stemmed from the original spec of coolant tank or something like that but yours will probably have the newer version
Sounds brilliant mate, where in northern ireland did you get the MP215 fitted?
I bought my ST from Trust Ford in craigavon but they dont install the kits there.
Steven Kennedy Cheers Steven 😃 The only place to get it dealer fitted is Lisburn trust Ford. I did my own fitting, mp215 is fairly simple to do I think. Beyond, such as mr230 is a bit more involved
Adam Rainey I ended up fitting it myself last week while off work for a few weeks and it took less than an hour after watching your installation video, cheers mate it was a brilliant help!
Its definitely a noticeable difference in power after driving for a few weeks, i thought about it for a good few months before buying and i think its well worth the money.
Im just waiting on mountune getting the silicone induction hose and a few other things in stock, they seem to take ages to get new stock in.
Got the sparco aerial fitted too it looks great and the frozen white body coloured wiper jets on the bonnet from ebay for £15 are a great touch and fitted in 5 minutes.
Looking forward to seeing a more mods for the ST on your channel mate, cheers!
Great review mate. Even though this vid in 5 years old. I honestly do believe there are much better options. I'm getting a Superchips ECU remap that will allow my ST to produce 228BHP. This is with no other mods other than a high flow air filter. So If I were to get an induction kit I would be looking at about 240BHP and this for about £350 btw. So about £400 cheaper for "more" of an upgrade. Something for anyone to consider if they have recently purchased an ST.
Less is not more. I wouldn’t go with chip tuning and every honest mechanic would admit that all this power without hardware will eventually kill your motor.
@@eliasstampoulidis7857 Well, all it requires really is to be sure to service your car and keep it in good knick. Which every proper car enthusiast will do. Superchips are absolutely brilliant and there reputation, reviews and knowledge show this.
Nice review - tempted to go for their 230/265 package?
Of course yea, its just a big chunk of money :O
Wait for the 12 days of Mountune. I got some crazy discounts on the kit 👍🏼
When is the 12 days of Mountune?
Christmas mate 👍🏼
Ahahahaha
Anyone know the best way to go about getting these kits fitted ? Newbie ST owner of a few months. What other upgrades are needed?
The MP215 comes with the intake and the handset. If you want warranty coverage, it has to be done by a dealer (or ASE mechanic, here in the US). Frankly, if I could do it over again, I'd save my money and just do it myself. This tune is very safe and will not hurt the car. The hardest part is installing the airbox, which is pretty easy. Flashing the tune only takes a few minutes.
I have the MP215 and shift kit. I'm waiting until spring to install them. What gauges does it come with?
You will love the upgrades! The gauges are way stripped out compared to the vanilla Cobb Accessport. Mostly temperatures and MAF pressure and then revs as far as I recall. Not enough for me to keep the mTune perched on my dash
Finally got it done. What a difference! The car is noticeably faster. The turbo spools earlier and harder. More power, but even more torque. It's great for daily driving. I didn't really need the extra the tune gives, but it's nice. The shift kit is spot-on, too. The car feels like it should have from the factory. I did what you did with the AP. It's in the car, in case it ever throws a code. Not gonna happen for a long time, I expect. I'll keep this car as long as I can. It's that fun.
how can you get 2nd gear completely unrestricted ?? its really the only thing annoying me with the car ... have a RMM and mich pilot sport tires so it can take the power now :(
Probably a custom tune I would guess
Does the MP215 upgrade always require premium fuel? Or can I just change the maps for regular octane?
Marcus Stefan Tañedo mountune don't do separate maps for high octane, I think in the UK they always assume 95 - slightly annoying as I always use higher
Hey nice video but does this package effect miles per gallon a lot?
Makes no noticeable different to mpg that I can see. Some people would say that it actually improves it! Cheers!
Was there a change in the fuel economy with this re map? What are you currently getting?
I would say it is about the same mpg as before (been a while now!) Getting maybe 30 which is a mix of city and motorway
Adam Rainey 30mpg? Your right foot must be heavy haha, my mpg is showing 37 at the moment. Thank you for the quick reply anyway
James Stallard I drive it like I stole it mate lol I enjoy revving high, accelerating hard - didn't buy the car for mpg 😁
Did you travel to the UK to get mountune upgrade?
Northern Ireland is part of the UK lol But no, this upgrade was bought online and shipped to me and I did it myself
The UK doesn't have the Cobb APv3 available, right?
There are plenty of Cobb dealers in the UK but as to specifically what they can offer, I'm not 100% sure
Weird I see that now but the dealers don't appear to sell their Access Port for use on Fords. I guess Cobb has an exclusive agreement with Mountune over there. On this side of the pond, seems like everyone uses the native Cobb APv3 to get easy power out of the FiST. I wish we had your 2 doors option as well since they shave about 150lbs off.
I was wanting to get the handset untill I watched your video. only really wanted it for the boost function maybe just get a wee boost gauge for it instead. good video but :D
Yea I don't mean to put people off but it is a little disappointing how they removed features for no reason that I can see. It is still probably one of the easiest remap processes with it so it isn't all bad. Cheers!
Another good video nice one Adam Andy Bolton
Cheers Andrew :)
Not gonna lie, watched the video because I'm somewhere between mountune and keep some warranty or Collins performance and fuck it. Subscribed because you said 'situation' hi.
I am now almost at the end of my warranty and have had no issues needing a warranty claim and I don't know anyone else with a Fiesta ST that has needed to warranty claim so in your situation ;) I would say go for whatever you would rather, its a very low risk if you choose the non mountune option :)
If you conSIDERRRRRR. 🤣 love your videos.
lol Cheers Robert :)
Adam Rainey no worries bro. And call me rob I hate Robert 😂 I’m waiting for ford to get my mountune mp215 in! 3 weeks and counting I can’t wait any longerrrrrrr Adam
Cool video man, I've got a bit of an odd question for you, I picked up a very low mileage 2014 ST2 back in September and it's a rapid car, when I went through the paper work for it's MOT and Service in March and I saw that 6 months before I bought it the previous owner had the MP215 upgrade installed by Ford but when it was on sale it wasn't advertised as Mountune upgraded, also it doesn't have the aluminium air box or mTune handset, after driving a friends ST2 also 2014 model, I realised mine felt like the boost was a lot stronger than hers and when she drove it to compare she said that mine had more of a kick, is there any way I can check if mine still has the upgrade without going to Ford?
You could contact mountune and give them your VIN number to check that that car definitely had the upgrade because they require that when applying the new map. If indeed it was MP215 then there is no way to map it back to stock, certainly not using an mTune so it is likely that you are still running with the remap. With regards to the airbox, I would suggest taking the airbox cover off and seeing what filter is in there. If it is a thick paper filter then you should at the very least drop in a high flow air filter such as the K&N. They cost about £40
Nice one I'll get on the phone to them first thing and check out the filter too, thanks mate.
I'm wanting the same MP215 for my Fiesta ST. But what about insurance? Any change in price?
It will depend on your insurer and you circumstances as to how much it will increase by but all my current mods including the mp215 cost approx. £30 extra on my insurance
Adam Rainey Cheers!
Went to Ford yesterday and placed my order for the MP215 kit! Also got a TRC front splitter on the way!😂
What insurance company are you with buddy?
Hi Adam, I had my mp215 done by dealership from new in Oct 14. I didn’t get the handset thingy ....
Andrew Van Dort Hi Andrew, yea you only get it if you buy from their online store but to be honest, it is pretty useless other than changing maps. Mine lives in the case, rarely turned on
Adam Rainey Hi Adam, can I switch the map/tune with MP215 to stock with this kit?
does it affect your insurance much i want a liitle bit more power lol ?
Hi Luke, it will depend on your insurer and your policy but for me it was very little - £30ish extra when declaring this upgrade and my front splitter :D
ok cool thank you : )
No probs :D
Hi adam, what kind of mpg do you get with the mp215 kit? Does it affect fuel economy by a lot?
Hardly any change!
Adam Rainey thats good to hear lol, ill be picking my 2013 st-2 in 2 weeks and it already has the mp215 which is awsome!
Ah nice one Aaron, enjoy!
ikea out past the airport ?
I film everything in Mexico lol ;)
Has anyone had issues with it not loading when it’s connected
Hi. Yes I did. Had to update firmware on cobb wed site
Good call, indeed Mountune mTune devices can get updates from the Cobb Accessport manager
@@AdamRainey how do I access this?
The price at Mountune is only 674 for this kit fitted.
I paid £630 at Evans Halshaw in Blackpool
St fiesta the best
Boring
Good thing no1 cares about your opinion. Thanks for the ad revenue lol
