- In this my first ever TH-cam channel video, here’s a run through of all the Stage 1 performance upgrades I’ve added to my 2014 Mk3 Focus 1.0 ecoboost 125 and the benefits they have over the standard parts. Hope the video helps anyone who’s looking to improve their Focus or Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost. And now also with the recent addition of a custom made performance cat back exhaust the car should be around approximately 155bhp.

I'm literally doing the same to mine, just had a remap and my exhaust done! Sounds and feels amazing 😂
Yeah it’s a massive improvement over the standard setup. What exhaust sound did you go for, mines at Mid sport.
@EcoboostOwen I had a back box delete with a single tip on black it's very loud tbh but I like it 🤣
Thanks for the information, just bought my second ecoboost and just found your video. Brilliant knowledge I'll take my time and upgrade similar to yours. Many thanks 👍👍👍🏴🇬🇧
Glad the video helped mate. Check out my channel and subscribe as I’ve got some new content coming soon 👍🏻
Thanks bud 👍 will defo upgrade mine now ! Great vid👌🏻 thanks for the advise and info 🤙
Glad the vid helped 👍🏼
I got a ford focus ST line x 1.0 ecoboost 125bhp and I'm taking to get it revamped on Monday to 150bhp. After watching a few reviews I'm not sure I should. Can't afford to f up my new car just got it. Its a 2019 reg
It’s totally upto you if you remap it to stage 1 or keep it as is. From my experience after my remap and performance parts added well over a year ago I’ve had no issues. If a reputable company remaps your car and you keep your car well serviced and maintained you should be fine. But like I say it’s totally upto you 👍🏻
How easy are these to install and do you have any issues with sensors or the onboard computer once you start changing things? Thanks! Great video.
Hi mate, the uprated induction hoses are pretty easy to install. Check out my channel I’ve got an in-depth video how to install them. I’ve had no issues with sensors etc, all has been fine. You get more induction noise which sounds good with these pipes fitted as they allow in more unrestricted air 👌🏻
@@EcoboostOwen Awesome, thank you!
Hi Owen would you need to do these mods to have a remap? Or can you remap without the mods?
If you wanted to you can just go straight for the stage 1 remap to gain an extra 25bhp. I added these parts to try and relieve any stress on the engine after the remap and to get the added induction and turbo noise. But yeah you can just go straight for a stage 1 remap.
@@EcoboostOwen thanks, that's really helpful 👍🏻
@@EcoboostOwen how is your engine coping with the mods and remap? Any major issues to date?
Nice video mate 👍 I've just got rid of the Mrs old motor for one of these. Looking to get a bit more out of the 1ltre st line. Do you happen to have a link to the parts you have ordered? I know in previous comments you've done so but I can't seem to find the ones you brought for your st line, a link or something will go a long way. Also, have you remapped the 1 litre?
Cheers mate, i think I listed where I got the parts in the video description. I got the uprated silicone primary and secondary induction hoses and the uprated turbo hard pipe from herewww.carenhancementsuk.co.uk/collections/ford-focus-mk3.
The Ramair crossover pipe is from eBay, seller Ramair-filters at £104. And the Pipercross air filter you can get on eBay aswell mate. Yeah the car is remapped stage 1 and with the mods is running approximately 155bhp. Hope the info helps, subscribe as I’ve got more content coming soon 👍🏻
@@EcoboostOwen really appreciate the reply mate! I'm going to get on it and start with the intake system 👌How do you find with that extra power on the 1litre engine? Do you feel it puts an unnecessary amount of stress on its engine or do you feel it more than capable of the upgrades? Only asking as in thinking of keeping it for a few years, u don't want to go through all this to really buffer the engine. Thanks again dude. And yeh for sure ill subscribe 👍
@@getafterit4647 the car handles the power really well. I think you can take these engines to around 170bhp but you need to keep engine temps in check via a stage 2 Airtec intercooler. The engine should be fine as long as you keep it well serviced, don’t constantly hammer it everywhere and don’t constantly keep revving and red lining it. I’m in the process of finishing a vid about the Stage 1 0-60mph time and upto 100mph to show the improvement over standard.
What's the upper torque rate of the stock clutch? Just I'd had a little look into mapping etc... but came across a few remarks about it being all well and good recapping etc. But seems like things like clothes would give up after a year or so.
Not sure of the upper torque rating of the stock clutch but my car standard had 200Nm of torque but after the stage 1 remap the torque is at 240Nm which is 177ft Ib. I’ve had no issues at all since the stage 1 remap, which I had done awhile ago.
Change that degas hose to the updated one, the plastic one is brittle and will dump your coolant when it goes
Yeah did that upgraded degas pipe when I got the car, as the pipe split and emptied my coolant a month after getting the car.
Wear can you get an uprated degas hose from,
@@paulshnutz8971 direct from Ford
@@paulshnutz8971 yeah Ford and I got mine from eBay £38.99
@EcoboostOwen hi pal does the turbo hard pipe need a gasket?
Hey guys i have a question i drive a 2018 ford focus 1.0 ecoboost 125hp.
My question is is it worth getting a cold air intake?
Atm i did an exhaust change from the cat straight to the end.
Will be doing stage 1 remap soon.
Upgrading the intake will allow for increased air flow over the OE restrictive intake pipes, helping your car breathe better and more efficiently. You should see a slight positive effect on horsepower, torque, and acceleration as well as improved fuel economy and you’ll get a lot more induction noise. I’ve upgraded all induction hoses along with a drop in Pipercross filter. It’s worth doing if your pushing more power out of your car.
Wait so you can put a bov on the 1.0??? I was told you can’t?
Yeah I’ve had it on the car for over a year with no issues at all. I’ve done videos of how to set it up properly and the sound 👍🏻
Keep the filter cover of you will hear the blow off valve way more
I was looking at getting the Airtec induction kit but I’ll remove the air box top cover first and see how it sounds 👍🏻
where in the uk did you buy the hoses? maybe i want to buy it from holland
www.carenhancementsuk.co.uk/collections/ford-focus-mk3 👍🏻
Does any of that make it go faster ?
Yes it does mate, check out my video Stage 1 v standard 0-60mph & 0-100mph times. The car is quicker now, it seemed slow standard when I bought it.
Where do you connect the dump valve small hose ?
You just unclip the hose off the standard bov and when you’ve installed the Turbosmart bov you just clip the hose onto the silver nut on the top of the bov. It’s pretty much a straight swap over.
how much all that cost, for an extra 25bhp ? and a few more nm.. hmm not sure. why didnt yu just get the 1.6 ecoboost version ? then mod that!
After selling my St170 I viewed several different models of the mk3 focus including the 1.6. Most weren’t as in good condition and had a lot higher mileage than the 125 I got for not much difference in price. Not sure of the cost of the mods I’ve done so far but I’m not too fussed as It’s a hobby for me modifying cars. My video is just to show others the mods they can do to their ecoboost focus/fiesta whatever variant they have. 👍🏻
To be honest the Tune he got must have done next to nothing. Most local tuning companies to me claim gains of around 50 to 60+ horsepower over the base 100 horsepower 1.0 EcoBoost with a tune alone. Doing extras like down pipe, exhaust, and these intake hose modifications should have you easily seeing 170 to 180 horsepower
@@dean8067 most tuning companies I looked at for a stage 1 tune like revo, Superchips, Celtic tuning, and Hyperchips who I went with all quotes a bhp improvement of between 145bhp-158bhp. Hyperchips said my stage 1 tune would be between 145bhp and 150bhp but there’s no way of knowing unless you have your car on the dyno. Any tune is a guesstimate unless proof is given. The best tune you could get is a custom tune on a rolling road catered just for your car to get the best out of it.
@@EcoboostOwen Yeah thats true, and the route I'm going with my 2020 Fiesta. But im going to do a bunch of other modifications first before getting it tuned. Catless down pipe, full exhaust, intercooler, Oil catch can, intake, along with its accompanying hoses etc. Then get it tuned at a local place called Veloce Performance, they do custom dyno remap that take hours to do. They already did a MK7 Fiesta 1.0 and power went up to around 155 hp and 260 Nm of torque with a tune only, up from the 100Hp and 170Nm it had stock. I'm hoping to achieve along the lines of 160 to 170 horsepower after everything has been done.
@@dean8067 sounds good mate, soon I’m getting a stage 2 airtec intercooler, custom made large bore down pipe and a hi flow 200 cell sports cat so it can pass the mot emissions test and then a stage 2 tune. I’ve been told I should see between 180-190bhp with the remap and performance parts added. Let me know how you get on with your build 👍🏻
Standard turbo can only manage around 170bhp give or take, 190 you will need a puma speed updated turbo unfortunately
Cheers for the info mate I’ll look into it 👍🏻
Air filter a defo no no for me, let's bigger particles into the engine. Plenty videos on it.
I’ve had no issues yet with the Pipercross filter but I’ll look at afew of the video’s you mention 👍🏻
@@EcoboostOwen only issue i had with a pipercross (was on my +revious ford puma 1.7 VCT was that it would get the maf dirty more easily. Other than that, I loved the more aggressive tone on the intake
@@SandStormPower yeah the induction noise is louder with the Pipercross filter in, sounds really good. I’ve got maf cleaner just incase I get issues you mentioned.
@@EcoboostOwen truth said, the ecoboost engines are different than the Zetec S units. But the issues I had related to maf, all pointed to be like crankshaft sensor issues... but all the diagnostic tools were wrong until someone pointed me out and i measured the MAF readings.
The car would sometimes stall when coming to a stop or kangaroo while accelerating. A simple clean solved my issues. Cleaned it with brake cleaner, tho.
Currently, I do have a MHEV 125hp Fiesta I've bought in May. It now reads 590km
Been driving it a lot, everything is an excuse to drive it :D
I'll soon plan to buy the pumaspeed stage 1 and obviously, will add a pipercross to it.
@@SandStormPower you should feel the difference when at stage 1 mate. It’s amazing what power you can get from a 1.0 engine. I love the sound of my car now with all the mods like the induction noise and from the Turbosmart bov along with the performance turbo back exhaust. It’s miles better than when it was standard.
Aup man. You on Instagram
No I’m not on Instagram, I’m just on TH-cam 👍🏻
