For what it's worth your engine build videos have been extremely helpful when doing my own swap. I probably would not have even attempted my engine swap had I not watched your detailed videos back when you did the initial build.
It is a headache making power with this chassis but you're defeating every obstacle you've encountered. Impressive work, glad to see you aren't giving up!
@ballinonabudget3313 lol imagine going BT and only getting 350whp. And maybe that power is enough for you, but if youre like me, you always want MORE. And more is hard to do with this chassis. 350-400whp and youre still getting gapped by most cars in the lot (unless you only hang out with slow people, then you might be competitive).
@ballinonabudget3313 I didnt say 500whp and like I said, if thats enough for you then thats great but its just not enough for me. 500whp means youre building the motor also which for some reason is incredibly expensive for such a cheap car. I called forced performance and got a quote for mine back in the day. We made 358whp on a gtx3071 and it wasnt much faster than my fbo e30 build lol
Hey man, I've been subbed for awhile, I've had an ST for awhile, been running into my own issues some similar to yours! I've kinda had to rely on my own ingenuity and ability(not the greatest), but seeing you go through some of the same stuff, and come out on the other side better, with good solutions is awesome to see! Really wish there were more channels like your out there, you deserve a much larger viewership than you get.
Just blew my stock motor at 105k with the 2867r Gen 2 on 93/meth. Blew the ringland on cylinder 4. Gonna be my first time swapping a motor, and building one on the side. Super excited to start this journey and your videos have given me a lot of insight and information. Keep up the videos man!
I feel your pain! This is Extremely frustrating platform. Keep up the great videos. Watching your videos only confirms that this platform HATES big power. Good luck man, keep it up.
Bro you can throw a train at your st and some how you will get that things back up and running again, seeing you personally go through all the struggles with that car and always finding a way to come out stronger then before just gets me so pumped to continue my build no matter how long it takes. Keep doing what you do Trey I’m sure I’m not the only one that gets inspired and or help from your videos.
hey man just wanted to comment to let you know I appreciate you videos bro very informative, and yes you right you gotta pay to play but the feels you get when it's back together is second to none .keep getting it my dude!
I've had my ST for almost a year now (2013 ST3) and all of a sudden I have severe power loss and a misfire in cylinder 1. Hoping it's not something major but your videos are a huge help just in case I need to do some major work!
@Daniel Neal Update on the car, took it to a mechanic and poor compression in Cylinder 1. 7k to replace the engine, so now we're in the process of replacing the engine and I'm hoping I can salvage the old block and build it. I wasn't sure what Mods were on it as I haven't done any yet and it turns out it has a full Cobb exhaust, aftermarket air intake and blow off valve.
I have the GTX 2867 too. I only drive with OEM head (before ARP) screws on 2 Bar (30 psi) and OEM headgasket. The engine only ever gets in the face. NO problems😎...after all, the oem gaskets are the best. Apart from that, i like your technical videos.

It’s basically a wire lock set up. And it’s a very efficient set up from Ford. It pays to use the factory Ford gaskets whenever you can.
UV Dye (I use InterDynamics brand from Amazon) in coolant + small UV flashlight helps see where it leaks even if it dries up quickly. There is also an UV dye for engine oil / trans oil / fuel. Besides that broken ceramic could be an early symptom of detonation. Look at the plugs with a high magnification lens (10x or more jeweler magnifier) and see if you find microscopic balls of aluminum either on the ground electrode and/of the ceramic just around the central tip. High-speed det is silent and cannot be detected by conventional means. What deposits on the plugs is vaporized piston material, that you cannot see with naked eyes. You don’t really see the erosion on the pistons either, or at least it takes a while before it becomes visible and it usually starts on the exhaust side around the valve pockets.
Axel R. The engine is in good health. I made sure of that. If you listen, I mentioned that the engine was knocking violently before the head gasket went. It was over boosting because of the MAP sensor voltage with the crimp connections.
VALLEY CREW RACING I heard what you said. I want to add a bad map sensor connection usually causes the engine to run very poorly (stall and black smoke at idle, huge cut off when opening the throttle etc) making the car un-drivable. I hope you are right though, on the other hand it does not cost much to check the plugs. Love the enthusiasm!
Hey that BNR 2867 from graveyard performance ain’t a bad option, it’s not a bad turbo at all they should of done more to prevent the figment issue but you can cut an extra piece of intake tubing and route it out a bit, $1600 for the kit is a great deal
I just found your channel looking up BC racing coilover install and your video showed up, good content man I e been watching a good chunk of your videos. Sucks about your motor man but hey it happens, glad you fixed it. Keep going dude.
I had same issue but with an oil passage. Its a low speed preignition make sure your engine oil is API spec SP you need a 97 or greater octain fuel too.
Good to hear your (pardon the pun) "Focusing" on brakes, handling & suspension as the power increases. Breakdowns blow, inability to control the new found power can kill someone
I messed up... Had my clutch spring off for the first couple years. Now i get a shudder in first during engagement. Taking it in to the shop monday, see what the damage is.
Your ST sounds sick, Man overall you did a great engine build I can't wait intel I make more power with my Mustang EcoBoost. Keep modding drive hard burn rubber.
I actually don’t mind that the car has been taken apart this many times because they all in depth videos and pretty much just troubleshooting stuff that many ST owners will face down the line. Also, how was your experience with Delicious Tuning?
Any ST owners having issues with their windshielf wipers automatically turning on??? Even when car is off the wipers would continue; had to remove the chip to stop ALSO when I hit it in reverse the rear wiper turns on.....thoughts/reccomendations .. thank you
I’ve been recommended ARP L19. Curious as to what your choosing. I was leaning towards the ARP 2000, but after this I’m not a fan lol. Love the channel 🤙🏽
I’ve been very frustrated with my 2017 focus ST four bolt on car. The transmission no longer has fourth gear because Ford can’t get their head out of their ass and actually build a transmission that will live behind their performance cars. And the PCV valve has been stuck closed that will get fixed tomorrow with a radium engineering PCV eco-boost kit. Hopefully I will be able to one day get the transmission removed and get the fourth gear synchronizer and shift fork installed. And the Quaife LSD installed as well. The engine runs great. It’s just constant problems. And I have only taking the car to the track one time three runs at the track. It ran a 12.60 at 117 mile an hour. But the car only has 43,000 miles on it and it broke at 42,000 miles. Yes I still drive the piece of shit without fourth gear because it’s the only vehicle that is running right now. My 2010 Mustang GT is getting the engine rebuilt along with a list of parts put on it. T 56 six speed race clutch light and fly wheel cams Ford performance intake manifold to go with a long List of mods. That car only has 68,000 miles on it. The 95 Ford ranger that I have has well over 350,000 miles on it and because I let it sit too long now I get to drain the fuel tank because of bad fuel. Along with upgrading the cooling system to a four core racing radiator. It has more mustang parts on it than anything else.. But for the newest vehicle that I have and I have not beat the shit out of it it seems to be very unreliable. I’m very pissed off at that little focus that you see pictured to the left
Im surprised you have a built engine with a bigger turbo, and are running a factory PCV plate and not a baffled Radium or Damond. Especailly with things off, its easy to upgrade and you gain additional PCV ports for additional OCCs.
I just blew my headgasket running 2000 series headstuds running at 25psi with a efr6758 at 15 degrees of timing. I'm looking at fire ringing my head and also upgrading to l19 series. Running 2000 series the the washer and nuts seem super small I think

Just to clarify as well, when I say problems I’m talking about my built in particular, not the cars as a whole. They are wonderful cars and can be great if done correctly.

I humbly disagree. It's kinda ignorant to say that the ST or the 2.0 Ecoboost doesn't have problems. All cars have engineering and design flaws. Yes, owner negligence plays a big factor in the problem, but issues still happen regardless of maintenance. There are two major problems that come to mind and that is inferior MMT6 transmissions sourced from Getrag and the fact that the stock factory cast pistons are also inferior in every way. Weak ringlands and in general bad ringland design. There are over 2000 posts about blown motors in the Blown Motor Resource thread even on stock STs. It's a huge fatal flaw and many tuning companies agree that the stock pistons are bad. The problem is cars aren't over-engineered anymore as they used to me and they won't be because we are such a small percentage in the actual community that buys cars and mods them, so there's no need to over-engineer a forged bottom end on a car anymore as Ford did with the Cobra. Ford builds cars for the 99% and that 99% won't know the importance of key maintenance of a Direct Injection Gasoline Turbo car and will buy either to daily or thrash around without considering the consequences or problems. Bad injectors and direct injection in general are bad for longevity. There are no direct-injection gasoline turbo cars lasting over 200,000 miles. Your 99% owner won't think about the importance of removing carbon build-up and running a catch can. The MazdaSpeed 3 is basically the same car and it suffers from exactly the same motor problems. You can do all the preventative maintenance in the world, but it is just simply and matter of time until all the stock motors blow. You can't prevent bad engineering after it's already been done. I agree with you that owner problems are a big factor and bad tunes, but it is not the sole reason especially considering motors blow on completely stock STs in every fashion and form. There are many other issues I can list about the ST, but I'll just be nitpicking a beating the dead horse at that point. Also P.S. Like what you do on the channel regarding hybrid turbos.
