Looks great fun , all I’d say is from owning one of these the engines struggle to make is passed 110k with standard power. Not sure how long it would last with a turbo strapped to it ?
@@wosa9461 are the gains worth the money in your opinion mate ?? I really wana do it to mine tbh but it just me savein to have it all n get it done would love it tbh though 😍
Depends on how much you love the car tbh, I’ve never been a fan of throwing power through FWD setups so personally I’d be putting the money towards something to my taste. That said though, the sound of this turbo kit is worth a majority of that money! The response and difference is mega compared to a stock ST
Prob I have with people who turbo these cars is you loose what makes them so special and different to all the turbo hot hatches out there. Yes it has more power and I'm sure I would enjoy that. But the sound of the NA engine is so invigorating. My plan is to just up the stock power a little as for me 148bho in these cars is such fun. Lets you hear the noise as it slowly gains speed. Can only legally do 70mlh on UK roads anyways so it's nice to enjoy the journey 😁
these cars were boring and underpowered in their day. They were absolutely no competition in their class of hatchbacks. Clio 182, 206 GTi, Corsa vxr etc, completely outclassed the ST. This car should've been turbocharged from factory.
@@dubbled5287 turbo hot hatches were not the big thing in 2005 as far as I know. The car that it compared more closely to was the Corsa SRI or C2 VTS. It's of that era of NA cars. Also Ford developed the car at the time to be underpowered to make it slightly more affordable. They easily could of made it more of a Clio172 powered car but restricted it's power. Plus just personally I am not a fan of turbo engines. NA always sounds so much better. On UK roads it's great fun and out corners loads of cars that have a lot more power. Not all about straight line speed
One thing you do get from the STs stock engine, is an engine that was put in caterhams and the BAC mono, and a platform that cosworth built race engines on. This gives us an massive selection of aftermarket parts available. Because it's a chain driven DOHC with big valves, and oversquare bore/stroke design, you get good airflow and can more importantly rev the shit out of them - 9500 rpm can be achieved. Built to withstand 9k rpm, with ITB's, standalone ECU and supporting mods gets you to the 300 mark; but it'll cost you 3 times as much as a turbo
Whatever engine you tune there is a risk associated with significant power increase, It all depends on how you treat and maintained the engine. We’ve not seen one fail with this turbo kit so far - but that is always relative to how it is driven and treated
@@wosa9461 thats the one mate 😍😍 im on 130 k so im gettin a timein chain & kit get that all done 💯 lookim to get some k1 rods & some forged pistons n that aswell do iy proper have it at the best it can be 😍😍💯
@@ravailhussain6556 Sooo in that case, how much boost can a stock engine take without exploding or having severe knock ? Just curious on how strong these engine really are.
10 psi it take it to 245bhp but you also gotta know the engines health if its been screwed then its not going to last long its all about keeping the engine maaintained more power you have to forge the engine and it will see over 300 400 plus depending on setup 👍🏼 @@TheKrystiano91

Mine has 240k km on it and still running strong on the stock engine
whats happened to una performance, cant find them on the web? can i get a link or some contact details for dave. any info would be good. thanks
Company went bust
Congratulations 1k
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Sounds great and seems to go really well. What kind of torque figure do you get with this kit?
has UNA Performance gone under? can't find them anywhere online and on Facebook?

@@brynkirby ?
Yeah they did
Awesome video thanks for making this 👊💪💪
Thinkin bout gettin one if these for mine but do they mapp it aswell
Hi matey! This comes with a base map to run the car - but will need further mapping to get the best out of it
@@wosa9461 you run this kit bro??
Not got an ST - this was just a friends test car we borrowed

Can the gearbox handle the power ? Because used tú break just with the stock power
You can hear at 0:11 that it's happy :D

What is the estimated hp, torque and 0-60 with this kit and base map?
Around 200bhp & 220lb/ft
@@wosa9461 So will it be "safe 245 bhp" after mapping? UNA page stated 45 hp more.

Can I use this kit for my mk6 zetec s 1.6 petrol
No different turbo manifold
Also the st can only take 10 psi until forged the 1.6 couldnt barely handle 5psi
@@ravailhussain65561.6 was in Focus Mk1. Brazilians put it to about 170hp wheel
Need a map on top of conversion cost
Should of mentioned - it does come with a “base map” file, however to get the best a good custom tune would be needed yes
So how much HP does the ST in the video have, is it 250 or 300?
250
just spoke 2 una about a kit :P
Yeeeaaahh! Properly transforms the ST 😎👌🏻

@@ravailhussain6556 and he didn't I'm guessing
do i need any supporting mods or can my car be standard to have it turbo'd?
This kit gives you all the supporting mods needed
Turbo, manifold, Downpipe, intake & sensors etc
Great job as always
Don't you need to change the compression ratio ?
No

@@ravailhussain6556 thank you so much, it is not easy to come accross the info about boosting these engine stock.
2024 nobody knows a company who can make theze?
They are still on instagram I believe
Building one now myself have a turbo manifold for sale downpipe had to be made tho mate
@@ravailhussain6556how much it gonna cost you all in?
