Fun little fact, unless you have installed one on your own, these cars actually dont come with an oil temp sensor. The numbers you get on the guages are actually estimates based off of other parameters the car does actually monitor. So for 1, coolant temp is better to watch if you wanna know when your car is warmed properly.
The oil temp reading on the accessport is pretty spot on accurate. I have an external gauge on my fiesta as I track it here in the hot Southern California weather.
One thing that people don't get is that the focus ST for the value today 2022 even. You cannot compare this car against any other turbo car. A GTI is expensive to fix and falls apart after it starts acting up plus they still make them. The WRX STI is way more expensive than the st and is expensive to fix and upgrade(compare to the RS) and the Hondas... Well again ..they still make those and are expensive as is. The type R is nowhere in this category. So if you ask me .. the ST is a perfect tuner car for years to come for the price and ease of upgradeability. If the engine goes out you can get the same engine from other Ford cars that share the same engine. Just throwing that out there because there seems to be a lot of haters that compare other cars with the ST and are nowhere near the same price point.
Progressive is actually louder and better in my opinion. I have a flash tune to flash on every now and then but I've got a pro tune E30 From PandaMotorWorks and its incredible.
I am new to all of this but I’m getting a pro tune next week on mine I’m not sure how this all works. When I get the pro tune is it automatically downloaded or do I purchase it separately?
@@Cupcakeprincess85 what do you mean? They will be In contact with you over email and they will send you a base map and you will go out and do datalog pulls and then email them the data logs and they will send you another map and this process will continue till they say your tune is complete.
it normally sucks hella hard on the battery during the tune , they recommend turning off ac/radio etc , most FOst's start a little slow right after a tune on the good ol ap
@@Nickjoenap its not beyond problematic , its just one of those things that "tuners" understand lol . still a clean car man im liking the way yours looks
It looks incredible.... One question, if you put ACCESSPORTC COBB, you just have to connect it to the computer or does it have to be put in by a professional?
They come preloaded with a few tunes like this. But nothing fancy it’s really more of a tool to measure very precise readouts like air fuel ratio or temperatures that your gauges can’t tell you. It helps with tuning if you take your car to a legit tuner but no you can’t just upload things yourself and see how it goes. I wouldn’t recommend it anyway.
How could i turn off the tune? Or take it off whenever i want and put it back again? Let say im in school but they dont like the crackle tune how can i take it it off? N put it back on later
Bro on a scale of 1-10 how reliable was this tune, how much did you like it, cause this video is like 2 years old and so im curious if you still are running it, or if you still recomned stratified
i haven’t ever ran this tune long term because it’s not a custom pro tune. normally i run a jst performance e30 custom pro tune because it’s a better tune and i just use this when i want crackles for a little bit. these tunes aren’t ideal but i’ve never had issues and stratified is good.
@@Nickjoenap would you recommend JST over stratified ? Sorry but I’m only just now learning about tuning and you have the same exact downpipe I’m installing on Saturday so I’m curious
@@CopDoctorLawyer yeah personally i think jst is better and that’s what i’ve heard from other people too. jst doesn’t do crackle tunes though because they think they can lead to issues. jst’s turn around time is faster and my tune from them is great

@@Mustangchef The crackles aren’t a problem because they happen when the engine isnt under load. I’ve talked to people who’ve had them for 100,000 miles before I did it and they didn’t have problems.

It has the guage for it where the boost and oil pressure guage is. The temp part may be wired into the pressure sensor.

Just so you know every time you flash a new tune the Oct adj reading will go to 0.75 if you do a full wot it'll go to -1 every time
I noticed my goes to .75 when flashing it then once I drive around it goes to -1. Why is this? Is the reading of -1 legit?
Also. Put it on loud and shift slow. It’ll crackle on upshift.
Progressive is actually louder and better in my opinion. I have a flash tune to flash on every now and then but I've got a pro tune E30 From PandaMotorWorks and its incredible.
Also to add any time you reflash your car it resets your OAR back to -0.75

Hey bro i know this is a year ago but do you remember how long it took for them to send you the tune after purchasing it
I ended up getting JST just like you advice me when i commented a year ago lol and i love it and how quick Brian got back to me
Might’ve been a few days to a week. I don’t think it was too long but it definitely wasn’t as fast as jst
Thanks for the reply bro I’ve been on my JST for a year now and no complaints but I’ll try this out to spice things up 🤙🏽🤙🏽
hopefully someone replies to this but will this at all cause reliability problems i know tunes can but car crackle tunes worse for it
Love it. Perfect amount of pops and crackles. Looking forward to a full video!

I fronts are broken pieces from a Cadillac CTS splitter and the rears are from this link. www.ebay.com/itm/323807094335

What was done with exhuast prior to tune? Still have cat and resonator and muffler?
I dunno what he's done to it, but never put a crackle tune on a car with a cat. Easy way to blow it out.
@@martisticmartin yea watched a guy do it and he went to take it to the dyno and we'll it didn't end well.
Link to accessport mount please !!
Thats my baby! Love it in white, too bad I got a blue one lol. Beautiful car, lots of fun great bang for buck! Great video
Just bought this, can’t wait!!!
Like more the natural bangs not the mapped in ones
can you send this tune to other people? is it like a dowloadable file? i've never down this before
no it’s custom made for the car so it’s locked to the vin number and accessport. you have to get a custom one assigned to your car
9.5 mpg she shesh 😳
let it learn the new tune eventually if you have a good oct you'll see the good numbers..
Yeah it learned itself pretty quick
@@Nickjoenap can this tune run on 91 oct
NICE POPS AND BANGS
Do you sell the crackle tunes ?
Just subscribed to your channel keep up the great work 👌🏽
Sounds fantastic man
Yoooo can I use 93 octane on stratified tune I have a 2013 focus st ??!?
yeah
also shift passing 2.5k to make bangs on every shift..
Floor it to 6k and ler off. Flame city.

What size are the spacers you use on your tires?
20mm all around
Buy some BBS for the fors
I just got a 2017 st, I think this is the tune I’m going to do, what exhaust do you have?
Cobb exhaust with Depo racing catless downpipe
This was very helpful thanks bro! 💯💯
How much hp does this add?
Around 20-30
So performance wise jst is better than stratified? I’m looking for getting a custom tune and lookin around which one to pick.
That’s what I’ve been told. JST is faster too
Anyone see the 9.5 MPG?😳
That’s from sitting in my car while not driving so it uses gas but not miles. Normal driving averages about 18 mpg for me
@@Nickjoenap damn really? Mines full bolts ons no tune, and I average around 27mpg, and I drive it pretty hard

Are these harmful for the car? I’ve been looking into them
they aren’t ideal but it shouldn’t cause any problems if you keep up with maintenance and take car of the car
I want a ford focus ST now.
Did you get one?
What Accessport Mount is that?
It’s from a guy on a Facebook group called Dave’s AP stiffys
What website is thus
Hey do you have a link to the website for the tune
请问是用的什么排气，谢谢
Very informative!
I WANT TO HEAR LOUD
NEXT VIDEO
Modern cars tuned for exhaust crackles makes you sound and look like a total flog
I agree! I have an ST myself, but come from a generation where everything was done to improve function.
17psi tragic
didnt wanna hear your voice just the pop
Too bad. Go to the video posted after this and it’s all crackles
@@Nickjoenap🤙🙌
Sorta clickbait when the title says LOUD crackles and you only show progressive in the video
That launch though 🤕
Yeah I need to figure out the traction control or get better tires
It's easy to tell who has a built motor and who is a poser. 99% of people who have the pop and crackle tune have nothing more basic bolt-ons.
There’s no such thing as a fast focus st anyways so I really don’t think it matters. I only ran this for a week and switched back to my custom e30 tune
