Damn!, put those two cars on a dyno. That so called 'tuned car' is barley any faster...
That's way too close to justify the $$$ spent on the tuned car.

In the world of tuning, that's really not much done. And you can discount the money he spend on the exhaust, you're not gonna any more power because of it. Exhaust note is really just a personal preference and less of a performance necessity nowadays.
Very poor choice for “tuned” fiesta. Needs an intercooler first and foremost. It a v2 accessport and it’s mostly likely an off the shelf tune stage 0 or stage 1 at best, which doesn’t really add any power it just adds some features over stock like launch control and flat foot shifting. Which I may be wrong I don’t even know if a v2 has those features. That fiesta needs full bolt ons and a custom protune for noticeable gains over stock.
The Fiesta is not about times and never has been. It has always been about how it FEELS. It FEELS fast, it feels nimble and it feels light! It will not beat many cars in times until you start doing some more bolt on’s or especially change the turbo; the Fiesta is what it is. An affordable, efficient and ridiculously fun car for the money. Who cares if an Accord with a V6 can beat it, the purpose has always been to blast around town in the low revs. P.S. take an Accord to the Canyons and try to keep with a good driver in a Fist;)

Geoffrey Orsini A good driver in the Fiesta ST can set impressive lap tames. I regularly run Auto-X and there are a couple stock/mostly stock Fiesta STs. Due to their light, weight, relatively narrow track, and short wheelbase, the Fiesta STs regularly pull one rear tire off the ground under hard cornering. Even once they do, they still just grip and force through the turn. With some mods/weight reduction, I think a Fiesta ST would be an absolute track weapon.

You can't run a proper aggressive custom tune without a upgraded intercooler.

fiestas suck dude... my fiesta (intake, intercooler, cobb “stage 2” tune) got dynoed... I made less than stock hp and +20 torque
I can tell you why it was so close...any tuning company other than mountune just focuses on torque. 250 ft lbs is great but it means nothing in a drag where the rpm never drops below 4500.
My Fiesta ST rally car will eat both of them for breakfast because it was CUSTOM tuned on the dyno and pushes about 300 lb of torgue at the crank (240 to the wheels). and it's a 94 Octane conservative tune for reliability. off-the shelf tune is just a gimmick really.
A bigger Intercooler is necessary for better and cooler boost, it’s makes all the difference, plus that drop in filter is no good for power, get a bigger intake, I’m on stage 2 with a custom tune and love it.
Ahhh, I love these vids; a good laugh every time. I'm gonna' go enjoy a beer in the shade now.
which seats did you prefer between the Recaros and the Base seats?
Lol! You guys are always fun! Love it. Ford vs Tuned Ford. Both has it pro and cons over the other but in the end the Tuned Fiesta won. Watching from Jamaica!
I bet as you guys keep driving the Fiesta around the same track, you're going to keep getting faster. Getting more experience with the track and the car. So not really a fair comparison to the competitors unless they also get the practice. Good thing you tried driving as well.
such a great small car have just bought another here in France my previous got wiped out in a carpark; sad the US will no longer get Europe's top selling small car
Love the concept of the show!

Wow you guys just unsold a lot of tuning kits. After watching that video I wouldn't upgrade anything.
makes me want to go back to just cosmetic mods....
geez guys a quick clean on that engine bay wouldnt be a bad idea... lol other than that great video
Man the top right of my screen was looking shitty but it was y’all video freaked me out!!
I’m running a stage two Cobb tune on my fiesta st and I drive highways to work and average 34.3 mpg and still climbing.
The Wheel of Density! :D
surprised that neither over heated in 2 seconds like they should if they were stock
Driver mod needed Update to V3 accessport and put an intercooler on it, with a protune. Then driver mod some more.
I'm looking for a drag between a standard 1.0 ecoboost 125 and a remapped ecoboost 150+ can't find one anywhere
Wow you sound exactly like the cash cab guy. Like inflections and all
What you people don't realize is that basic mods with a tune on a low HP car isn't going to bring you a significant power gain that's going to make a big difference. The tuned Fiesta ST might have a 10 to 15 HP advantage with the mods it has over the stock one. Not enough to blow you away.
@BensCoffeeRants
6 жыл бұрын
Some cars do respond better to tuning than others, doesn't matter if it's relatively low or high horsepower I don't think. You can get decent gains that you can FEEL with a flash tune. I noticed with the Cobb stage 1 off the shelf tune, the turbo seems to hit a little harder, the car characteristics seem a little less refined, more sketchy than stock, but not so much that it feels dangerous / scary. I think that OTS tune only gives you like 6HP and maybe 15 extra Torque but it makes a difference. Some other cars I think VWs can gain maybe 40HP with a similar Off the shelf tune I believe which is pretty crazy.
I want to play I’ll bring my FIST
Good stuff ! I enjoyed this video,..thanks guys!
to get the most fair comparison you need to switch drivers for the drag race. the driver is one of the biggest factors in lap time
How much more do those sparco seats weigh? I wonder if the “upgraded” cat back is hampering the extra power you’ve added? Also many of the cold air intakes actually make the air hotter either way that money you spent obviously didn’t go a long way.
@BensCoffeeRants
6 жыл бұрын
Yeah, stock air box gets air from outside the engine where it's cooler, a lot of Cold air intakes ironically get air from the engine bay area which is hotter. People like them because they're open and you hear the intake noise more. But cool air is better for the engine, efficiency and power. Some cold air intakes are made right though.
@BensCoffeeRants
6 жыл бұрын
I don't think the cat-back would be hampering performance though. Sparco seats ? Recaro you mean? They're probably heavy but nice nice seats. I think the differences were probably due to driver and or tires more than anything else. The tune he had probably isn't as great as a modern tune as well, that was an old school tuning device.
I'm only half way through the drag race and I can already tell the one driving the tuned fiesta can't drive.
It's worth noting that it has a 91 octane tune. Tuners across many platforms will tell you that there's not much to be had on factory performance cars with 91. I know these guys don't have the option, but 93 tunes are usually where there are real gains to be had.
@DanielBrownOre
6 жыл бұрын
Well, 93 is at least a full step up from 91 but e30 tunes are where that's 2 full steps above a 93 tune, literally 25-30 HP more over 93 just from using e30... too bad it's so hard to find e85 to make an e30 mix where i live, so at least my 93 tune helps as much as it can anyway...
@Treyk901

Daniel Brown I would love a e30 or e85 tune for my F-150 but I’ll have to stick with 93, which is still very good. There isnt any e85 or e30 near me.
Why the loud music throughout the entire video? This is an automotive channel lets hear the cars please.
I wish I could bring my car down to you and test it . I have a near stock Toyota Mark 2 with a factory installed 1jz vvti .
If only games shows like the modern "Price Is Right" would give away Fiesta STs instead of those base models. In the original show, during the 1970s, they gave away Cadillacs, Camaros, Corvettes, Firebirds and even Jaguars.
A stage one fiesta ST barely gets any extra hp over the overboost. So this is probably accurate. A stage 2 fiesta ST is 230ish hp and will be more of an ass kicking 😎
I know you guys are here in Colorado, high altitude really hinders the STs little turbo. Suppose at least tuning helps a little. Fun none the less I love my commuter ST. Gotta keep the fiesta alive now that it's dead in the US

The fuel economy test was... poorly implemented. But the rest was fun.
That accessport isn't even supported anymore. Should have done a full bolt on + e30 fiesta.
Was the tune map for high altitudes and proper octanes?
How come both cars have different seats? Aren’t those stock seats?
“All around ok guy” funny
How can smooth be both slow _and_ fast?
Needs a catless downpipe for that access port to really do anything
Basically, thousands in mods, no big difference than the hole in your pocket for the B/O Fiesta.
Was that an ots map on the accessport or a protune?
So what you’re saying is, none of those tunes on the fiesta ST did anything at all.
Need to get my hands on some of that shade
Ok anyone who knows this car is it doesn't make power until a cold air intake and a bigger turbo. Rather it s hybrid turbo or a big turbo with up top power rather than mid-line/lower end power. The modded car needed to have someone more experienced at the wheel with the car. Now cobb tunes aren't anything for these cars.An actual tuner does wonders for these cars.
Sorry was going to show some hate about the obvious, but can you please tell me the Year on both of these fiestas? Please
Honestly what the "tuned" st has on it for parts are way overrated and there's similar priced items that gives so much more power
The stock rubber is actually better than the Indy 500 on the tuned Fiesta
Very cool video. Let me know if you need another driver, i'm in the Denver area and would love to race with you guys.
Sucks they spent money on the tuned FiST in all the wrong places. It really needs a better front mount intercooler and catless downpipe. As for the "intake" on the car, all they did was replace a small section with silicon piping. It looks like they didn't change the entire intake, just that small section. The intake goes all the way down to the turbo on the back of the engine and the piping is really narrow and lots of bendy parts that cause turbulent air flow.
@BensCoffeeRants
6 жыл бұрын
I haven't heard of the Fiesta ST needing an aftermarket down-pipe, from what I've heard the intake and exhaust system isn't really restricting anything unless you've upgraded to a big turbo. I don't recommend going cat-less because it's going to stink, it's illegal in most places because it's awful for the environment. We all need air to live.
If you do a weight reduction on the blue st (slimfast& cardio) you’d prob see a bigger difference in the quarter mile
this is great and all. But! Tire diameter is an issue. The 16" wheels can't have the exact same tire diameter as the factory tire. This effects all of these tests. Mileage. acceleration etc. If the most common size 16" tire (p205/55r16) was used then it is 6% shorter than stock.
@BensCoffeeRants
6 жыл бұрын
You can have similar diameter if you choose the right tires, this is a good site for comparing. If you want to go to a smaller and possibly wider tire you benefit from some weight saving from the wheels which helps acceleration, and more grip if you go wider. This site shows less than 4mm difference in diameter with these sizes. www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=205&aspect=40&diameter=17&wheelwidth=7&offset=47&width2=215&aspect2=45&wheel_size=16&wheel_width=7&offset2=47
Love my Cobb stage 3 Orange FiST!
"it dont matter if you win by an inch or a mile winnings winning"
91 octane lol these American versions just cannot compare to the EU ones. Pumaspeed do a Stage 1R tune at 98 Octane that gives 241bhp and 390nm of torque. Guarantee it would wipe the floor with this "tuned ST"
Nobody can make a good fiesta st video. ): my stratified fiesta with a Cobb v4 accessport pulls 26.5 pounds of boost I would poop on that blue fiesta
IF you expected more then about half a car length then your overestimating an intake and tune.
You can pull a bus length on a stocker with just a V1 Whoosh fmic and E30 tuning.
Hey roman I like how you use the spining wheel
Keep it simple.
Problem is, he's stratified tuned. He SHOULD have been smart and went JST ;)
What % tint is on the blue FiST?
This is a joke! Making ST's look bad, Either the tuned version is not tuned right or its got a boost leak. I know from personal experience driving a tuned ST for 4 years now and as well as running my own Ford ST club.
91 octane?? The ST needs at least 98! Where do you get 91 nowadays anyway?
We’ll I guess that constitutes tuned not modified 😂 I’d like to see a tuned big turbo fiesta go up against a stock one for comparison
For an everyday driver, is the cost of the mods worth the difference. That is the question.
Can you do one with the 2017 VW Tiguan? (The one before they sucked the life out of the engine) It has about the same power with AWD but it weighs a lot more. It might be a good race.

Interesting. Why was the tuned Fiesta more economical than the regular Fiesta ST? More access to power usually always equals more fuel consumption. My only guess is that the smooth race wheels led to less road friction and this better economy for the gentle driving laps they took.

The issue here is that the tune is the only real mod and even then, Canned Tunes are shit.
A COBB stage 1 adds torque but is not really going to make much difference in a drag race; not to mention an exhaust should do diddly without an enlarged downpipe. Speaking of downpipe...shoulda been the first mod. COBB is a questionable expense if you're not Stage 2.

Other than modern tune, preferably e30, not much other than turbo upgrade really helps... that's right, you can go intake and downpipe but on stock turbo they might get you 10 HP with a tune, when a tune alone will give you 25 HP... intake and exhaust is NOT a bottleneck unless you have a turbo upgrade!
