Hell yeah thats awesome, i would recommend watching thr upcoming videos on this series because you may change your mind? Either way thanks for the support 🙏
That would be cool, i have a 7163efr with sxe compressor, from 2015-2020 i ran a 7163efr with high boost efr iwg, in 2019 i put a sxe compressor on it amd made a custom 3.5" cowl intake but i forgot to hook up a boost line and overboosted so there went my cyl 1 compression, sold it then tested the 1st g30-770 for atp while the car was down in early 2020 of February. They told me it wouldn't fit. I then bought another 7163efr from full race being one of the last kits ever sold, i got the vband inlet version this time, a sxe housing and a turbosmart iwg and it made that turbo into a beast. I made 410whp on 93 octane with 23si 4port aux, 520whp on e85 29psi... its my favorite turbo for the 2.0 honestly because it spools like a 2867 gen2 but flows like a g30-660.
The best intercooler overall is the CVF intercooler, i did a review video comparing it to the CPE one.. the cpe 5.5" isnt necessary unless your over 650whp. www.cvfab.com/products/cvf-street-intercooler-2013-2018-ford-focus-st?variant=41667598123220&country=US¤cy=USD&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=17539505699&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiApsm7BhBZEiwAvIu2X1VJbYhe_oyVxzwyxAdD2ds8Wsp1P6tKFXqTaqRmH5WkvHpy_2gv4BoCkegQAvD_BwE
The grill shutters are fuckin junk ford stuck in there to give better mpg and block air to the radiator and intercooler when your cruising, its the dumbest thing honestly. A cobb tune deletes the code so dont worry about it. It also removes some weight and cleans up the st front end.
Genuine question. I currently own a Focus ST250 (250BHP stock). With a base tune, 3'' sports cat downpipe and exhaust system and upgraded intercooler running about 310BHP and this is with the stock turbo. I believe my Actuator is stuck open so looking for a new turbo, hence why i am here. As im alreading hitting the max the stock turbo can output, will this garret powermax be able to give me more power or will it just give me a better longevity as the internals are uprated? The data say the Garret can only provide 250-300bhp which im already pushing. I can't run 98 octane or E30 as im from the UK
The powermax provides 20-30whp more than a ko3, 285whp conservatively with a flatter tq curve that doesn't drop fast. Thanks for stopping by we appreciate the support.
You have to use the 2016-2018 focus RS Turbosmart BOV or IWG for upgrading. Thanks for the support, i have the photos plugged in the video also for reference normally. Did you see them?

@@WhiteblurrSTi just had a shop put this turbo in you think they just put the turbo smart bov that was on or you think they knew ? I’m new to this platform so sorry for the dumb question
Its a good turbo but only if your trying to go past 400whp and build your motor because of its potential. If your under 400whp with it, the turbo lag with it hurts your overall experience. Ill be covering this turbo as well later on.
@ I have it now currently with the 4 port aux fueling, and FBO and I get pretty good results from this turbo it’s very responsive if your in boost it builds boost moderately quick but that might be because I went with a smaller ar size I think it was .67 I went with so it would spool quicker. I do agree if you are in the wrong gear or in certain cases it does spool slow I’m assuming that it would much slower with the bigger ar size. Also I can’t wait to see the video that you have planned!
Yeah for example 4th gear on a 40 roll haha.. sounds like a awesome setup, how much hp you at on 4port? 400? And boost / rpm start spooling and full boost by like what 3800?
Omg yess, this is great for new focus st owners
Thanks 😊
I'm excited for this series.
Thank you
Love your videos! Thanks so much, man.
No problem
Love my ST! Gotta get it where it needs to be for me!!!
We can help
Happy New Years! 2025 is gonna be awesome, so lets start off with a bang..
Good stuff brother
Appreciate it, more coming. Im gonna try to do 3 lont videos a week for a while.
Currently rebuilding my 15 st motor and plan on getting this turbo hopefully sometime in the upcoming year

Wanna see a g25-660 vs efr7163 with the sxe housing

What would you guys recommend for the best intercooler? Something that i wouldn't have to do much modifications to make it fit.
The best intercooler overall is the CVF intercooler, i did a review video comparing it to the CPE one.. the cpe 5.5" isnt necessary unless your over 650whp.

It says you need to remove the ags for installation. What is that?

Can I plug the turbosmart bov on the turbo powermax ??

I highly doubt the shop would know to put it on unless you told them honestly.
What do you think about the gtx 3071r gen 2 turbo?

@ also I’m still on 93 and probably around 400 whp, I need to get it dyno’d to really find out.
