Paramanic Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 hello, me on a 125 I would stay on the Bluefin only with induction kit and filter ! I fear that too much power and torque are harming the clutch ! Depends how heavy a foot you got :p ahahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4RC Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've messaged this before somewhere but al write it again I know someone who does remaps etc He says the montune mr165 (163bhp) The map itself is actually only 154-156bhp then with all the hoses induction kit & intercooler (which is crap btw) takes it to 163 He said if you had all that with a better intercooler on a car then added bluefin you would be looking at around the same figure as the mr165 Aslong as you get all the stuff before you remap the car with bluefin Surely by having an induction kit and different exhaust system the bluefin wouldn't be as good as it's only designed for standard?

Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC a was sure it doesnt but to make sure i mailed them on facebook aslong as its a catback its fine but all is good for the car "Hi James As long as they're compatible with a stock vehicle they'll be fine with the map. The only issue he might run into is with the exhaust if he's replacing the catalytic converter. Get him to call us directly is probably easiest on 01280 816781, and select the Technical option 2" a guy on facebook with all the pipes etc intercooler cai and exhaust etc all fine on the bluefin running 164bhp on a dyno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikosZS Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I tried to contact with Superchips about the Stage 2 map, however I got an auto reply that they will sent me back in time. I'll let you know... a was sure it doesnt but to make sure i mailed them on facebook aslong as its a catback its fine but all is good for the car "Hi James As long as they're compatible with a stock vehicle they'll be fine with the map.

The only issue that might occure is by fitting exhaust and replacing the catalytic converter? Sorry for asking the same again, I am just trying to figure it out, as I still got no reply from Superchips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Don't get mountunes intercooler it's crap get airtec stage 2 works so much better Collins sell it expensive tho but very affective! That's my favouritest bit ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 That's my favouritest bit ;) Been tested mate it's the least effective of all the intercoolers that are available for the 1.0 ....

Willy Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 What made me laugh is you said the MR165 intercooler was naff but an uprated cooler gives the same profomance. Wouldn't it be better :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Check out airtec stage 2 Collins have it it's brilliant 400 tho but most affective No mention of any profomance gains :p Seriously though mate I know nothing about intercoolers and only fitted it cos it was part of the kit and dead easy to install. If a bigger one gave more hp / torque I'd have gone for one. If your looking at doing bits at a time then I'd definitely recommend airtec's products. The whole removing the bumper thing puts me off. Been there and don't fancy it again ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfriel2 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I asked Collins about gains back in summer. With an improved intercooler, the Collins map will give a gain of about 20bhp. Without intercooler, not very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without intercooler, not very much. but in summer they didnt have this new one only unveiled it at ford fair ................ the system they use and most people use is the airtec only passes one way as a backwards c and has fins in the middle as you will probs google .......... i spoke to them at ford fair about the new product and this passes several times moving right to left and right again like the back of a fridge which makes it highly affective also said its easily built for hybrid turbos message them about it a will take a pic of the price sheet when home tmorrow but i saw this intercooler it makes the airtec one out at the moment look tiny haha it goes over top and bottom grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russdaz Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Lol fit larger intercooler gain 20hp.. OK yes you can a more aggressive map to gain hp as larger intercooler reduces charge temps, but the intercooler doesn't add itself, k just allows you to use more hp for longer.. The Airtech unit for the St is good at cooling but does introduce lag and reduce the torque at low revs.. Check there own data. Just something to think about, depends on what you want. I got the smaller Mountune unit for my St as I wanted my torque as I drive mainly in town and lanes, and not race tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one is suggesting that an intercooler will give you 20bhp, but you may not be able to get those gains without it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russdaz Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If Colins say intercooler and chip, means there both needed. Colins are very good at what they do.. But ask them about the torque characteristics of the package. Not one or the other. In real life quicker turbo spool, more torque at lower revs can be more useful. Always a trade some where. For the record even the Mountune unit does add a touch of turbo lag on the St, but is easy to drive around, as it's only noticeable in traffic. If I was planning lots of track days I'd got the Airtech unit.. Personally I found Mountunes upgrades to be a nice trade off from drivability and out right power on the rollers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
