@3:50 you mentioned that we don't wanna see you put the car together and that we just wanna hear it run. I wanted to tell ya that I used your motor swap video and a few other past ones as a guide for when I did my swap and the footage was extremely helpful! Car sounds awesome and I'm glad it's back together!
I love the enthusiasm! The last couple of minutes are priceless! What is impressive with your new cams is the lift. I think it’s more than 11mm which it huge.
I want to build my RS motor sooo bad, I’ve watched all your videos on building the block. I plan on doing exactly what you did but I gotta save! keep it up.
I’m building my 1000whp 2.3 ecoboost engine as we speak! Using the ST block and the Jaguar 4 port heads all custom spec everything! Traum coated pistons! Piper custom spec cams, 4340 Callie’s enforcer rods, with 250 wall wrist pins h13 tool steel , 1/2 inch custom arp head studs. Custom spec darton sleeves , dual injection with 2000cc injectors. 105mm xona turbo and much more! Can’t wait till it’s done!
Bro I’ve seen a lot of focus ST videos and I miss mine had it full stage 3 but I will say this man yourST is fucking insane!!!! Ive never and I mean never seen an ST hit rev limiter so fast in my life!!!
Hey man love that it’s all together! I have my build going together and it’s nearly identical but it’ll be in a sedan ;) anything you would change machine work wise?
these cars have such a mild cam profile stock. i wish more people put wild cams on these cars. the rod to stroke ratio of these 2.0 ecoboost engines are so high. you'd have to destroke a 4g63 to get it to what a 2l ecoboost's rod to stroke ratio is. so the bottom end wants to rev. problem is the cam profile and the turbo is so small so it kills the top end
Why am i not getting notifications???? taht is annoying as hell. I love watching the builds! Dont hold back on us. Your videos help a lot of people do builds!!! We want to see the build part !!! Excellent vid as usual.
I have a quick question may be dumb but I was curious if you’ve replaced the valve springs in the motor and if you have if there was a special tool you used to compress the springs to get them out?
question for you my man. How did you line up the cam gear on the cam? I know the sensor for the cam is pulled from the rear of the cam so I would think it wouldnt matter but just asking.
What exhaust are you running... Is it Agency Power or Custom? The car sounds AMAZING!!!!!! I'm looking for a block to build over the winter... Is the 2.0L out of the '15 Ford Escape the same, they go for pretty cheap?
bacchus thompson I would highly recommend sourcing a Focus ST engine just because there are slight differences between some of the 2.0L ecoboost engines through the lineup. As far as exhaust goes, it’s an agency power 3” catback but the original resonator was replaced with a vibrant super silent resonator and a 16” mbrb resonator paired with a 3” catless dp.
@@tbr.performance honestly I don't think port matching is necessary for this head. at least no major gain. what you had done is just about perfect. now go get you that 3076! haha
I blew the head gasket on my Mustang ecoboost 2.3L. I am going to be doing the work myself, however i don't know much about the ecoboost engine. What head gasket do you recommend? I was looking at the Brian Crower, or JE. Any thing else you recommend i should do while im doing this? I have experience, just with Honda Kseries/Bseries. I am looking forward to pulling this engine to be honest :-) One of the main reason i bought this car, it is RWD and there is tons of room in the engine bay.
EcoBoost_Matt I have been told by multiple sources that the OEM Mahle head gasket is one of the best. I’ve also heard that Cometic makes good gaskets as well.
question about the stage 3 cams. on the website it says something about machining the head and piston crowns, was all that necessary for you? im looking into these cams as well and i am not sure because of the machining process. thanks and good content bro
metal1s I didn’t have to do any machining to the head to run these. I got the bowls done just because it’s better to have but the only thing you need is new valve springs.
Your not supposed to torque down the head studs And check out ravenol 5w 50 RRS oil ravenol is the best!! Nürnberg tested, Ralf shumacher and many race teams use this oil. And it’s super well priced!
@@tbr.performance gotcha. You should be listening to Adam at tune plus! He is a god when it comes to this platform! He’s actually building my 1000whp ecoboost on ST block. Sleeved of course
Okaythen001 It’s pretty simple. I would suggest removing the lower radiator hose or using the radiator petcock to drain the coolant, and then refill as needed.
@@tbr.performance To burp it just leave reservoir cap off, turn on the car but how long? Will doing just drain and refill (no flushing) leave some old OEM coolant in the system, because I am going to use dexcool AF888, will 2 diff coolant get mixed in or OEM coolant only got very little left and no need to worry. Thanks for your help
Okaythen001 Well, that’s pretty much the only way to drain all the coolant unless you disconnect the coolant line for the turbo that connects to the block and drain it that way. Those are the only 2 ways I know of draining all the coolant.
@@tbr.performance so I reached out to stratified and they told me you can’t use the ga as a fail safe for aux fuel but there has to be a way did your guy with fist ever figure it out?
@@tbr.performance is it kinda like spring stiffness? I was look into getting one for when I go big turbo. i didn't know it came with more race car noises too lol

Completely agree. I know its more work to film and edit, but it can save others a ton of time and costly mistakes.
I know your comment was 2 yrs ago, but I'll be using his videos myself. He has the most in depth video of any youtuber on this car
I love the enthusiasm! The last couple of minutes are priceless! What is impressive with your new cams is the lift. I think it’s more than 11mm which it huge.
Such quality content. Love the quality and time and effort you put into making your videos. Easy to follow as well as making it knowledgeable
Yesssss those were the pulls I needed to hear at the end. Good job man, she has come a long way!

Love the vids bro! Side note: you do know Marco is a restamp and rebrand company, right?😂
Much quieter than other vidoes, but killer content man. I'm loving following your build!
Nice build! ST’s are fun cars to drive. Looking forward to more content👊
glad to see it running again and its a beast :D
Def a favorite channel. Killer my dude
*VALLEY CREW RACING* Good content
Love the videos! knowledgeable and articulate! would like to see some POV seat time!
Next video for sure

hey when are you guys going to the track again, let me know see if i can tag along
I have a quick question may be dumb but I was curious if you’ve replaced the valve springs in the motor and if you have if there was a special tool you used to compress the springs to get them out?
Hey man, I was wondering how you aligned the cams and what tool you used?
What’s the part number to the cam / crankshaft alinement tools that you are using?
question for you my man. How did you line up the cam gear on the cam? I know the sensor for the cam is pulled from the rear of the cam so I would think it wouldnt matter but just asking.

How did the cams and block cost you if you don’t mind me asking

@@tbr.performance I really appreciate the feedback my guy... Will definitely be watching your progress and taking notes 👍🏾
looks like its time to upgrade that turbo! see the real potential of those cams. and did you port match at the intake side of the cylinder head?
My machinist only did bowl work, no runner porting or exhaust tunnel porting.
@@tbr.performance honestly I don't think port matching is necessary for this head. at least no major gain. what you had done is just about perfect. now go get you that 3076! haha
Trey did you put the OEM turbos gasket + the fire ring gasket or only put OEM gasket and delete fire ring gasket ? Thank you
samintrepid
I used both.

And check out ravenol 5w 50 RRS oil ravenol is the best!! Nürnberg tested, Ralf shumacher and many race teams use this oil. And it’s super well priced!
These head studs aren’t torque to yield so they require a specific torque spec. I followed manufacture instructions.

I can't find any videos for coolant change/flush for FoST, any chance that you can make a vid in the future? thanks

Okaythen001
If you want to drain the block, there is a big alan plug on the front side of the block next to the pcv plate.
@@tbr.performance Have no clue how to do that, I have never done coolant change before, I can do simple maintenance that's all.
Okaythen001
Well, that’s pretty much the only way to drain all the coolant unless you disconnect the coolant line for the turbo that connects to the block and drain it that way. Those are the only 2 ways I know of draining all the coolant.
Hi
How much torque did u use for ARP bolt on camshaft?
50 ft/lbs
Hey Trey, why Motul oil and not Amsoil?
Angelo Lopecuazto
Just personal preference. The car loves it!
Do you have your guardian angle hooked to your aux fuel as a fail safe?
Brent Clark
Not at the moment. Wouldn’t hurt to set it up.
@@tbr.performance thanks I’m trying to set it up myself but not sure what wire to tap into on the aux fuel system
Brent Clark
That’s why mine isn’t setup hahaha. I haven’t looked into how to properly do it.
@@tbr.performance so I reached out to stratified and they told me you can’t use the ga as a fail safe for aux fuel but there has to be a way did your guy with fist ever figure it out?
Brent Clark
He sold the car after his intake manifold decided to blow like a grenade.
yo how tf do you get your turbo flutter like that when your pulling
Guardian angel from stratified.
@@tbr.performance Really??? How does that work? I thought that was just overboost protection
@@Brandon-xe2se
It can be used to adjust the sensitivity of the bov as well.
@@tbr.performance is it kinda like spring stiffness? I was look into getting one for when I go big turbo. i didn't know it came with more race car noises too lol
What turbo are u runin?
