I was surprised that he didn’t drive one until today, I’m so pleased. I’m not sure about the power he claims, what do you think? I’m running 320hp and this one doesn’t look any faster than mine. Maybe just a tiny bit, but 370? I’d be surprised.

@maIibualma Ай бұрын

@@magicmonkeyist Technically it’s possible as long as you cap the torque. But it’s definitely not safe on the bearings. Running close to 400hp on stock internals has been done before. Block mod doesn’t really help either, there are cars that crack the linter with it installed. I’ve been on 320 for a long time and I don’t have block mod. It’s all about how you use it and how it’s tuned on the ECU. It’s either getting too hot and the power drops or it’s more like 340-350 max.

The Focus ST engine isn’t modified by Ford from its Volvo specification - it’s the same as in the C30/S40/V50/C70 and is a proper Volvo engine, despite what the Volvo purists say. My C30 is similar spec but going for much more power and LSD etc. The RS oil cooler really isn’t big enough for track work at this level. If you thought the coolant was hot you should try logging oil temp - and the oil temp gauge on the dash is fake. You will have got the oil mega hot.

@kadis_thodoris Ай бұрын

Stock oill gauge calculates the temperature by parameters like boost, throttle, water temperature etc.

@mcgherkinstudios Ай бұрын

@@kadis_thodoris Exactly. It's fake. Real oil temps are often WAY higher.

@kadis_thodoris Ай бұрын

@@mcgherkinstudios when you install rs oil cooler, I think oil temp is cooler than shown. It calculates as it had st cooler but the rs one drops temps more.

@mcgherkinstudios Ай бұрын

@@kadis_thodoris I can tell you for certain that it doesn’t, unfortunately. RS oil cooler is woefully inadequate for the track, but at least it starts to overwhelm the cooling system when temps get dangerously high and start to move the coolant needle past halfway.

@HotwheelsReviewsGuy Ай бұрын

Car needs a lower temp thermostat and an external oil cooler for any kind of extended track use. RS oil cooler improves on the stock st one but only marginally.

So far, I would say this looks like one of the best cars in terms of power delivery and handling. It seems to have the right amount of power; it's neither overpowered nor underpowered. The only thing I would change about the car is the suspension, and even that is debatable. Maybe it's simply because I'm just a guy on the internet who enjoys the content.

@dawidnowak3839 29 күн бұрын

Yes I agree and I think that for track use you can go to KW or some more sporty suspension. But for me b8 is ok, good on the street (not horrible comfort) and does it's job on the track :)

@NorwayVFX Ай бұрын

Audi engines tend to sound a little sharper and more aggressive, a slightly nicer sound. The Volvo variants almost sound a little lazy in comparison at least in stock form, even though they perform well. The Volvo engines were designed to be compact and small, so they run a small bore cylinder and long stroke meaning they don't tend to love high RPM. The cylinder head design also suffers from the fact that they made the head very compact and low. Weird angles on the intake and exhaust ports.

The firing order is different. But they both sound very nice from the outside with the proper exhaust.
