Steeda’s got a gnarly facility. Had the awesome privilege to go to a show they hosted a couple of years ago and got to see what I think was a replica (or it may have actually been the real thing, who knows?) of the old Adam West Batman Batmobile.
Yep... right thing to do. The factory intercooler is literally cr*p. I got mine replaced by a fat stage 3 capable one, very similar in profile to that one you had fitted there. But most of the changes I did were under the skin: I got a helical limited slip diff fitted, Focus RS dual mass flywheel and clutch (all of which helped dial out most of the torque steer and hugely improved traction), and far better rear motor mount too. Apart from that, an Airtec induction system and stage 1 remap. My Focus ST is chucking out 290bhp and 386lb ft of torque currently. Next month goes on a new 3 inch resonated cat back. A few months down the line, a sports cat downpipe and stage 2 remap. My target is 300bhp or just over. But definitely the heat issue is best eliminated 😉
i run the lightweight CP-E FMIC...i only see ambient temps or a few degrees cooler all day every day. Only time its high is if you just idle for long periods, obviously (ICs only work when the cars moving lol). So this is basically a first mod for any FoST for sure. I'm FBO, E30, and my charge temps on long runs are great...OIL temps are another thing altogether. One of the only parts I dont have upgraded, is an oil cooler. Next on my plate XD glad y'all got to get this done for you at a well known shop!
It was a tough tough decision for me because I really wanted to feel a huge difference in performance I wanted the Cobb access port so bad but I did my research for months and came to a conclusion that I need to battle the heat problem 1st so I had to buy an aftermarket intercooler
Humidity is the enemy. My st gets with it in 108 degree desert heat in Palm Springs. Stock IC with bolt on’s and a ford racing tune. Put a larger IC in and it just helped hold max power longer.
Yo That was a really well put together video amazing editing and incredible cooperation by Steeda I’m very impressed I have a 2015 focus ST with 700 hp so it’s really nice to see a detailed video like this being done
@@derekgardin1512 and you know this how? Car can pull into low 10’s this way Not possible with 400 hp 😂 Wavetrack LSD pulls nice and straight Axles are the weak point
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
You ideally needed your upgraded intercooler at the same time you upgraded your air intake system... but good you got it done. All these mods are costly, so, get the "putting off" delays. Out of interest, how do you find out your air intake temperatures?
Are you reffering to the charge air temps? Mine havent been over 100 yet and i rip on mine pretty hard haha. I also have a 2014 im at stage 3 on e30. Also i live in michigan so it is a bit colder
man 14:30 was TERRIFYING, you said you were gonna get on it & see how high the temps go. right after the van brakes but you can BARELY tell, and then after they brake you look into the left lane. i think if this was at night there is no way you look on the left like that if the person in the front is braking. daytime driving can be scary too
the production quality on these videos makes it hard to believe you dont have thousands of subs :D
THIS COMMENT WARMED MY HEART
ST owner here! I subscribed instantly. Thanks for all you do for us ST owners!!

Unless you have upgraded turbo that can't be true. Mustang Dyno? Methanol? The factory turbo is limited to around 270.
You will need a bigger turbo for 300 + bhp. See edge motorsport channel.
Bhp is not whp horsepower to the crank probably would 300 or a little over and the whp would be about 280

Cpe is so nice i gas it and it goes up one degree and drops back down!!
It was a tough tough decision for me because I really wanted to feel a huge difference in performance I wanted the Cobb access port so bad but I did my research for months and came to a conclusion that I need to battle the heat problem 1st so I had to buy an aftermarket intercooler
your video editing and camera angles are awesome! keep up the great work for us ST users!!
I can feel it. This channel is going to go big
Man I love your videos and the personality behind them. I noticed you stopped filming. idk why, but you have some skill here.
Nice work brother
Humidity is the enemy. My st gets with it in 108 degree desert heat in Palm Springs. Stock IC with bolt on’s and a ford racing tune. Put a larger IC in and it just helped hold max power longer.
Shiiiit who woulda thought something as simple as an intercooler would bring temps down that much, going to need one for Arizona summers lol
Bro you were gonna go big! If you’re ever interested please come back bro this channel is absolutely amazing
Picking up my 2013 St2 this week. I’m Def following u my guy.
Damn wish you were back making videos these ST builds and mods are fire 🔥 hope all is well🙏
Yo That was a really well put together video amazing editing and incredible cooperation by Steeda I’m very impressed I have a 2015 focus ST with 700 hp so it’s really nice to see a detailed video like this being done
@Socal Drives 2.3 L stroker built on a new block with all the internal beefy goodies and 6062 turbo 40 lbs of boost…I’m pretty sure yes.
No point having 700hp in fwd car. 400 is pushing it
@@derekgardin1512 and you know this how?
Car can pull into low 10’s this way
Not possible with 400 hp 😂
Wavetrack LSD pulls nice and straight
Axles are the weak point
I wish to replace the OEM THROTTLE BODY ON MY 2005 FOCUS ST, what do you suggest???

How much was that wheel setup those are the wheels I want so much they look so clean
not saying the part you took off is the worse but 1 common thing here clean those coolers out the cooling fins radiator\ condenser . nice car also.

Is there a steeda shop in Texas ?
Awesome video 😍😍👍

Ohh nvm i see you were on the stock intercooler
Looking at one of these for a friend
Are they reliable?
Very! I've put over 80,000 miles on mine - modded, driven hard, extreme pops and crackles - and I haven't had an issue yet. It just keeps going.
y has it been a year since an upload?
man 14:30 was TERRIFYING, you said you were gonna get on it & see how high the temps go.
right after the van brakes but you can BARELY tell, and then after they brake you look into the left lane.
i think if this was at night there is no way you look on the left like that if the person in the front is braking.
daytime driving can be scary too
Why no new vids?
That song at 12:40 what IS that! I *must know*
Shazam answered it - "Way Too Much" by Dylan Sitts
Should add to the name of the video ‘visiting steedas factory’ would make more views
Now she can breathe fire on those ricers, while keeping cool
👍
Just so you know, you didn’t have to remove the headlights
That shirt is crazy lol
Im from RPN
Hey hey! Thanks for stopping by!
Whatever happened to this channel??
