APA Total Car Care is proud to announce their newest alliance with COBB Tuning. COBB Tuning has long been one of the most popular and dominant names in the performance world and we are extremely happy and honored to call ourselves a COBB dealer. The first of many builds will be a 2015 Ford Focus ST for one of our great customers who discovered us on a Google search and loved what he saw.
This high performance build will utilize the complete Stage 3 COBB Tuning kit which consists of:
- COBB Accessport V3
- Front Mount Intercooler w/ Piping
- Carbon Fiber Intake System
- Catback Exhaust System
- Performance Catted Downpipe
- Rear Motor Mount
The Accessport V3 is the world’s best-selling, most flexible ECU upgrade solution for Ford. Unlock power hidden within the vehicle by replacing conservative factory settings with more aggressive calibrations. Upgrade forever with off-the-shelf (OTS) calibrations for most bolt-on modifications. It’s the last engine management solution you’ll ever need.
Maintaining the best qualities of the factory intake while improving on the rest, the COBB Carbon Fiber Ford Focus ST Intake is a bold, performance-driven addition to your vehicle that will add a kick to your overall driving experience. Fitment verified for left-hand drive vehicles only.
The COBB Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) for your Focus ST is the easiest way to drastically improve power when coupled with tuning from the Accessport. Even when stock, the factory FMIC can be overwhelmed with heatsoak. By using a 57% larger core with streamlined piping, your Focus ST will come alive with charge air that’s up to 100 DEGREES COOLER.
Free up your Focus ST’s engine with the COBB 3″ Downpipe! This direct replacement for the factory downpipe features a 200 cell count high flow catalytic converter and 304 stainless steel tubing. The CNC machined v-band flange and 4″ flex section ensures perfect OEM-like fitment. All of these features combine to provide a free-flowing exhaust outlet for high-energy exhaust gases to reduce turbo back pressure and increase turbo efficiency.
Our 3″ Stainless Steel Dual Tip Cat-Back for the Ford Focus ST is a direct replacement cat-back exhaust that boasts full 304 stainless steel construction, custom inline mufflers, and dual 4″ double-wall tips, resulting in a drone-free, unique exhaust note.
The COBB Rear Motor Mount (RMM) is the best way to minimize engine movement, improve traction, and reduce wheel hop without major impact to NVH. Typical bushing designs can rattle your teeth out at idle or during throttle input. The COBB RMM utilizes unique voids custom molded into the 85A durometer bushing to absorb vibrations, but still, reduce engine movement to aid in getting all the power to the ground.
FORD SPECIFIC FEATURES:
COBB Adjustable Traction Control: Adjust target traction slip on the fly (Slots 1-8) and maximize tire grip to best suit given track conditions (wet/damp/dry/street/slip/burnout/etc). Note: Feature must be enabled in ECU calibration for use. (Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS & Mustang Only.)
COBB Flat Foot Shift (MT Only): Improve shift times and keep boost built during shifts. Flat Foot Shifting can hold engine RPM at a set RPM between 3000-8000 RPM during shifting. This feature is enabled in COBB OTS maps. (Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS & Mustang Only.)
COBB Launch Control: Adjust Launch Control on the fly with 6 pre-configured RPM slots to dial in launch based on track conditions and vehicle configuration. Enabled in OTS Maps and configurable within Accesstuner Pro. (Fiesta ST, Focus ST, Focus RS & Mustang Only.)
COBB Change Map Slot: Map switching allows for instant changes to several tables inside the vehicles calibration without having to re-flash the ECU! Each “Map Slot” is grouped into a folder found inside the Map Switching Features group. When a map slot is selected by the driver, the ECU will use the corresponding values as defined in each folder. Further Documentation can be found here.
COBB Burnout Mode: Enabled in OTS (Off the Shelf Maps) This feature allows you to hold the car at a predetermined RPM and perform a burnout. Burnout mode prevents you from over revving the engine while performing a burnout! (Fiesta ST, Focus ST & Mustang Only.)
