james125 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hello all. I've just purchased an 2008 Ford Fusion 1.6 TDCI. I wouldn't mind having a go at re-calibrating the ECU to get better driveability fuel economy etc. As it happens I am an engineer and for the past 2 1/2 years I have been recalibrating the ECU of a 1.6 TCDI (DV6) engine for emissions with an adaptered manufacturer ECU. (Unfortunately I have no idea how to do a normal production ECU) Maybe I will just do an EGR blank instead! -Though I'm not sure wheather to have a hole in the plate or not on my model? Unless of course I can find an easy way just to remap it? Or borrow an ECU from work? Thoughts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 A blanking plate with a hole in it is waste of time & money & defeats the purpose of blanking the E.G.R.V. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james125 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 I think a plate with a hole would reduce EGR flow, maybe the EGR valve would open more to try to compensate but it's flow would be reduced for the same valve position. Regardless I have ordered a blanking plate with out a hole. I'll let you know the results. Maybe a tutorial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Have a look at Lenny's guides. It's for the Focus, but same engine. Edit: I think it was Lenny who posted a guide... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
