I can't help but think that a car like this Fiesta ST is the most fun to drive in the real world. I believe that fun-wise, it will hold its own even when compared to supercars like the McLaren P1. I've driven quite a few fast cars back in the day and now this is the conclusion I've come to. Well done Ford, for keeping the hot hatch segment alive.

I've been watching Matts videos since I was in high school and he is the reason why I got into cars. Always answers questions and consistently providing good material. Matt to my eyes is a legend.

I'm a huge fan of these little cars--that low-end torque is awesome. Really looking forward to seeing more vids on this!

Man, I've had my eye set on a FieSTa to replace my Turbo Neon for a while now. It's nice the FieSTa is as underrated in power as it is because it probably makes 10hp and 20tq more than my Neon does 8 years and 110,000 miles later. All while being like, 300 pounds lighter too.

@CarFreak I ended up getting that Fiesta ST and I love every second of driving it. Granted, the NSRT-4 was an awesome car too, but I resonate much more with the Fiesta. Props to every NSRT-4 that's still out there wrecking it on the 40 rolls haha

Because of you sir... I got my Ford Fiesta and I love it! Thanks Matt! I got the mod bug and this is definitely on the list.

I just started working for Ford selling the product.. I drive a Fr-S and.. have to say, i am blown away by the Fiesta St, had it come out sooner im not sure which id take.. theyre both awesome cars, but damn the Fiesta St is a blast!

I only have 532 miles on my 2015 FiST, the 1st oil change was done in my garage yesterday, and my Cobb Stage 2 package will be arriving to the house tomorrow morning. Can't wait!

Can't wait to see the Stage 3! That's pretty badass Matt!

Man, over 200whp in a Fiesta has to be an absolute blast to drive. I had a ball in the 125hp base model rental Fiesta, I can only imagine what likely a full 100+ more HP at the wheels would be like.

Dude finally!!!! Ive been itching for part 2 a while now. Great vid and keep up the good work. :)

I've modified and had 2 cars dyno tuned, it was fun seeing the differences mods made... what I'd love to see is a real world back to back speedo comparison on the road. Hearing some guy say 'oh yeah it's faster' is okay but it's a far cry from the seat of the pants feeling.

Who would have ever thought that kind of power would be had in a compact. Wow! Domestics are slowly stepping up their game. Granted they've got a lot of ground to cover.

Definitely want to see stage 3, good stuff!

Can't wait to see what it does on the track. Maybe you should upgrade the tires as well

It's nice to see the Fiesta st in blue the best colour, I always see it in red, black, or white

nice to see a little engine doing something good. This is not new stuff, its just modern. Glad to see it anyway. Look out for the antique 140 hp beetle..don't cry.

You are the reason why I got the Fiesta St

I just got a 2015 fiesta st. Coming back and seeing these numbers is crazy. I'm in a cold Wisconsin climate, car has CPE intercooler, intake, catless DP, full straight pipe. It has a stratified 93 octane stage 2 (I think somewhat custom tune by previous owner) and it pulls like crazy. I want to get on a Dyno soon and see what it's making, I bet it's 220+ whp and 270-280wheel torque if we base it off of the colder temps and such up here.

Man... These people on the comments are nuts... Loved the video! I honestly don't like ford but the fact is that whoever talks about the fiesta AFTER driving it loves it so I guess its a great car, I wish I can have a ride on one and feel what everyone is talking about...

Great videos I have a fiesta st and I can't wait to get it tuned now. I am also looking forward to the stage 3 video

Awesome video man. I love that little car and I don't even own it yet. It seems to be the one you can't pass up for the driving experience. And glad to hear those modest gains translate so much to the seat of the pants.

What was the deciding factor that made you choose the fiesta over the focus? And how do you think the cobb packages will affect the longevity of the vehicle?

You keep making the Fiesta ST look so good. So much potential form that little power house, makes me want one more. Though, with the upgrades, have you guys noticed any significant changes in fuel economy, or massive torque steer? Also, besides from the stage 3 kit, what are some plans for project Fiesta? Can't wait to see more.

I like this. Following builds is fun! :D

This would be a mean little unit to drive. I think the next upgrade should be two 86mm turbo's and a 400 shot of Nitrous though, I wanna see this thing beat Tom Baily at the next drag week.

Been waiting for the stage 2!!!

A mechanical differential is a must have item on cars like these.

Good series! (Do able car for most people) Thanks Matt!

Another great video Matt! On a different note, how much booze do you consume to dull the embarrassment and anger you feel while reading the comments on your videos?

I know it’s an old video but you inspired me to get a fist and go stage 2! I love my car lol

Would not have guessed you would get those types of gains with such little being done.

Impressive gains. The turbo back exhaust should help drastically. Wouldn't be surprised to see 220whp with the new tune. Nice job Ford.

I'm really diggin this series

loved this series Matt, just out of curiosity, how much in total did all the COBB 3 Stage mods cost?

That car looks like a blast to drive. I am really, REALLY glad Fords building these kinds of cars. I'd still prefer to own a Mustang, but holy christ these little boxes are fast. I'm hoping some Fiesta STs and Focus STs show show up for auto-x this season. I'd like to get behind the wheel of one.

That looks like fun!

this particular video makes me happy ! it's the proof that even in my country we can have fun with cars ! and i wanted to know what you're at with that fox body project ?

I cant wait for another Project Fox Body Video!!!!!!!!!

Stage 1 quote in this video was higher than in the video it was installed. But none the less a very good gain from stage 1 to 2

+KieranHancock a radiator cools the engine coolant (water not air) using the ambient air temp. An intercooler uses the same method to cool the charged air that will go into your engine. The air gets hot because it is compressed and travels through the hot turbo. The intercooler helps to lower the temp of the air before it enters the engine. Engines work based on heat expansion. Cold dense air + fuel + detonation = expanding hot air. You want really cold air going into the engine for max expansion. The radiator is keeping your engine from overheating. There is an optimum temperature for the engine itself, for the best environment for biggest expansion at the perfect time. So, a racing radiator is not gonna get you the gains. Get a High flow intake pulling in air from a cool place. They work the same for NA as Turbo. The turbo sees bigger gains because it is amplifying the effects. Look of forums and see which ones have been the best for your car and always be mindful that if you are sucking in air from the lower corner of your car that a big puddle can mean you suck water straight in.

The gains... THE GAINS!!!!

Matt, Love your FiST project- I've watched them all- great, usable information for those of us who are just starting ours! I'm looking to create a "surgical instrument"- daily driver with enhanced handling, braking, and- of course- powah! It will also be invisible to all except the most discerning eye. Since you've done all 3 stages of Cobb's power tuning, what would you recommend for quiet, enahanced power. I'm sure that I will need, at least, the following: 1) AccessPort Tuner. 2) Intercooler & pipe kit. 3) Downpipe. 4) Rear Engine Mount. I've noticed that your Stage II has quicker spool up, along with increased HP/tq numbers- so, that may be "enough" for his project. I'm a long term owner (250k + miles), so, all increases must be backed with cooler running. I may add an intake and add heat shielding to reduce charge temps- ugly looking, but, it DOES keep temps down. I've run I/C sprayers(MAF & MAP) in the past, and, guess that someone has or will produce one soon. I will probably install lowering springs & braided stainless steel brake lines, along with better pads along the way. I'd really like to move the battery to the trunk, or, preferably, under the rear seat. I'll go AGM or Li-Ion if there is no reasonable way to do it. Strangely, I'll add the heavy soundproof matting to all interior cabin surfaces to reduce noise, and, make sure that I get a FiST with a sunroof, but, will go to crazy lengths to both reduce weight and center it! Middleage, I think it's addled my brain. Any thoughts will be appreciated, along with any ideas that you have to acheiving the target. Silly, but, I'll probably add small wheel spacers as well- just enough to push the wheels out, but, not enough to have them banging against the outer fender. A front air splitter (how vintage 80's DTM cup can U get?), and, a color matched LARGER rear wing, or, winglet- should be enough to remain subtle, yet, different from the jellybean commuter... So, no Baby Vomit Green, or, Molten Orange Tri-color for this project...Thanks again, and, if there's a better way to reach you, lemme know! Thanks in advance, Dave P.S. At 52 years old- 5' 9" @ 170Lbs- I think I'd prefer the stock seats over the Recaros? I "fit", but, the seat is too high in it's lowest position, and, the shifter feels like it's miles away? I WANT the HID's, but, could care less about MYFORD stereo & enhanced SYNC stuff...They all come with blueooth, so, I can pair my phone...XM, Sirius, superwide band radio...who cares?

+David C. Gulliver So I've had my FiST for about 2 months so take this with a grain of salt, but so far I've really enjoyed the mods I've done. I have the RMM and Short Shifter kit which was a good quality of life improvement from the stock shifter. My plans from the car now are in this order 1. Accessport with Protuen 2. Front Mounted Intercooler for the heatsoak problems our cars have 3. Tires From what I understand the DP can actually cause loss of power on stock turbo because you end up losing some boost pressure. This information is from one of the best tuners on the FiST platform Adam from Tune+.

@DCGULL01

8 жыл бұрын

+Darin Bierbaum Good- so, I'm not interested in losing power- OR, pushing it further up the RPM band either. Small turbo means fast spool- and, there seems to be plenty of room for more remaining stock. I know (from other projects) about the HUGE improvement a RMM can make, and, a designed & balanced short shifter kit with bushings (both at shifter & at the transmission) can really make driving more fun as well. combined, they make the car feel like upper & lower strut tie bars have been added, and, the whole care feels more planted to boot. Intercooler is a no brainer to me, heatsoak kills power and turbos generate LOTS. A meth/H20 mister helps along with meth injection to reduce heatsoak. But, like Matt & others- who wants to refill the bottle all the time??? Hawk pads & braided SS brake lines improve bite and stopping... small improvements with NO offsetting compromises.

Somebody's driving that car real hard. Look at the brake dust on the front wheels

The Smoking Tire Really want to buy the little st! I know Mountune makes a ford- warranted ecu upgrade, and that they partnered with Cobb to do it. Any word on whether these Cobb tunes would maintain or break Ford warrantee? Cost on stage 2 upgrade?

As a owner of a Fiesta ST I can tell you this is the most fun I have ever had in a car bar none. To the OP... can you install the intercooler without going with an aftermarket exhaust? Will you still see the gains?

Any way you could do a video on shifting?

Ah, your stock Fist on that dyno came out to 189, 236? I came out with 177, 220 at the place I went to. Just goes to show how important it is to use the same dyno and conditions when comparing wheel numbers, I guess. I have no plans to get power adders though. I just want to see how much power my car will have lost several years from now.

I love this show/web show!

Yeah I'm hyped to see Stage 3 for this. Nice to see a video showing that you don't really need "moving" parts to increase your HP, just a well balanced full setup!

anyone else see the viper in the COBB lot when he was pulling back in after the test drive?

dat flat bump on that steering column though.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you don't hardwire your V1? Do you not run the RD full time in the Fiesta ST?

Cobb needs to hurry up and release those parts so I can stick them on my Fiesta ST XD

i want to get to stage 3 so bad on my '19 FiSt... its brand and i put 3k miles on it and im prolly going to wait till around 10k miles before i start stage 1 and continue staging it...plus i want to save some money for it.

Sounds really good are those the recaro seats? Any chance of a comparo with the focus st?

I watched both videos since I own a 2014 Fiesta ST and I would have like to see you do the dyno without parts, then with parts, then with the tune. Is the tune even doing anything??

272 lb/ft torque at 2400 rpm. Wow! TheSmokingTire Are you getting full boost that low in the rev range?

I would like to see an exhaust too but an active one with high flow cats so its still pretty practical, hopefully it can boost the power up more because of how free that intake is but how choked it gets when it tries to expel what it just sucked in

Hey I'm sure it's been asked but which intake and intercooler did you guys use? I'm looking for the same things you guys got but for my fiesta ST. Thanks in advance!

Will these upgrades void the warranty? Or did you buy the car outright?, I just inquired about a new one today.......
