Had to post some updates on our 2013 2.0 Ecoboost ST Escape.

We re-drilled the funky 5x108 hubs to the far more common 5x114 pattern. That was "difficult" to say the least. Made a jig and were able to use a carbide drill on the front, the rear hubs unbolt easily so we took those off and did them in the mill.

This allowed us to use 19x9" Ford Mustang "Brembo Track PAck" OEM wheels and 255 40 Pirelli summer tires!. We machined the Mustang badges from the center caps, machined them down a bit, and affixed "ST" badges. We have also added an ST badge to the front lower grill and rear hatch. Removed the Ecoboost badge.

We swapped out the stock spare with an aluminum 17" unit from a 2013 Mustang as well. 10 pounds lighter!

We developed a bolt on axle back 2.5" 304 SS exhaust, have done lots of testing and now have created a jig. Look for production units soon. Sounds great and saves 19lbs off the car!!!

Added a spoiler

Put a hitch on too.... I know I know. Weight. But we do like to add a bike rack to the back and it works perfect with a real receiver hitch.

Added a Focus ST engine cover

Along with a modified FSWerks intake tube which we powder coated blue.

Massive oil cap of course.

Did a complete leather seat conversion, black with blue alcantara inserts. The kit did come with door panel inserts as well, just haven't gotten around to installing those yet.

We also installed a pod on the dash with a Stack boost and oil pressure gauge. Pics of those tomorrow.

Anyways. Hope you like her. More to come.

Thanx! Fancy seeing you here, Randy!!! What up!

This thing NEEDS A TUNE BTW, Randy. Livernois claims to have done one. But kinda spendy for a locked up / no feature box.

So the Escape and ST have the same intercooler. Does that mean some of the ST options will fit the Escape?

Yes indeed. Same basic chassis underneath and identical engine. The intake was basically the same, just needed one additional vacuum port added.

Looks sweet. Where did the leather seats come from? Do they make any for the focus?

We got the leather from Roadwire. We are a dealer for them BTW!!!! Excellent quality and totally customizable. You cant tell from the pics but I had them do a blue contrast stitch on everything too. Looks killer. They do make them for the regular Focus. Not sure if they have patterns for an ST1 or the like tho?

Haha that CRV must have been bad ass!

That bumper insert thing is actually silver. It came that way.

Def interested to see some numbers. Excuse my ignorance, but what kind of possibilities does this engine have? I'm assuming it's similar to our 2.0, engine bay looks identical

Same engine, same turbo as FoST.

What does the escape run for boost?

16 PSI-ish is what we see most of the time.

Hi Karl! First of all I like to say I love your build mostly the rims. Very very nice.

Second I'm very interested in your cat back that you've created for your Escape. As can tell I'm also an Escape owner as well and part of Fordescape.org, the leading Ford Escape forum on the internet from what I see. There are many Escape owners on there that are modding their CUVs and having a company and Escape like you on the forum would be great if you don't mind. There are many Escape owners that have done many of the mods you have and then again not as extensive as you mostly when it comes to the interior mods. Come join us and teach us and if you're making Escape aftermarket parts anyways Fordescape.org is the place to present them for aftermarket enthusiast.

Here's pictures of my owner personal build. So far I have a Steeda intake, Denso "one colder" sparkplugs, CX Racing intercooler, Ford Kuga rear spoiler, soon to be purchased Ford Focus ST rims, and hopefully by the end of the month a tune by Unleashed.

WOW! Looking good, Tou!

Yes, I will check out that forum for sure.
