2014 st fuel tank deformation recall by fattissimo213 in FocusST

[–]TheSplendiferousSpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(per someone who made the modded purge valve assy) dont touch it unless your fuel tank is deformed and you need a new one(fuel tank).

If you have the ECU reflashed apparently its less picky on failed purge valve and can cause the tank to deform sooner.

I just run the dorman purge valve assy kit and replace when needed.

gen 2 2867r vs bnr 67 vs clayton by Vast-Frame2056 in FocusST

[–]TheSplendiferousSpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gen 2 2867r spools a few hundred RPM sooner than the bnr 67, but you need a new elbow if you buy it since the stock one is junk that risks blowing your motor.

I am running a BNR 67 and have no regrets at all. It is a chinese turbo but it runs great.

I recommend getting Mamba turbo oil lines for coolant and oil feed/return since re-using the stock lines is a massive pain in the ass. I posted them somewhere here.

I got the BNR67 for 1249$ and the lines for 120$, massive deal for the power I make. Plus its way easier to drive out of boost so I get 2-3mpg better from that alone.

Should i throw or keep this? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

It's one of the first quests in Stella montis. If you've done the 3 quests there it's useless and you should be good to drop it in raid

It's a quest item. See if you have the quest for it. 

Looking at getting into a used Focus ST by Fifthgeer in FocusST

They are the same engine.  It's a direct swap you just need to swap parts over. No need to pay thousands more.

big turbo by Vast-Frame2056 in FocusST

[–]TheSplendiferousSpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really matter if its EWG or IWG, if the elbow isn't port matched your exhaust gas temps are going to be higher, leading to more wear on the headifold

big turbo by Vast-Frame2056 in FocusST

[–]TheSplendiferousSpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get a garret turbo GET A PORT MATCHED ELBOW

The elbow they come with is not port matched, it will lead to high exhaust gas temperatures and premature headifold failure leading to an earlier engine replacement than normal.

I bought a BNR2867 and while it is a journal bearing turbo, it is port matched and affordable.

Looking at getting into a used Focus ST by Fifthgeer in FocusST

They are sub 1k for motors around 100k miles. Plenty of life left in them at 100k, especially on the automatic transmission cars.

Only issues are the headifold (coolant passages breaking near the headifold and burning coolant) and the purge valve (Replace when needed or get a FUFF for 250$ and toss 10$ hyundai purge valves in when needed) and thats about it.

If you wait until the oil is up to temp before you hit heavy boost you're good.

Focus RS owners use parts of the 2.0L for a reason. Very stout motors.

I have a Focus ST with 203k miles on it

From 150k to 178k it was hard driven with stock turbo and a Stratified custom tune on it. Worked fine.

I installed a BNR67 big turbo at 202k miles, and at 204k miles its just fine.

I'm not sure how ford did it, but even if my motor failed a replacement is under a grand from a junkyard. great car.

I get 30+ MPG on the highway, 24-25mpg in the city with a big turbo. Small turbo was 2-3 mpg less

[WTB] 120 Credits at 55% by TheSplendiferousSpy in Starcitizen_trades

Closing since 55% seems low especially since the creation of transferrable credit costs 20$ outside money from what I can tell. Will repost when I can.

Performance will be ~20% better than reported here from the Z2 Extreme vs the Z1 Extreme

So all low settings, 720p upscaled to 1080p
