BJT Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hi I am wandering if I should remap my Fiesta 1.0 100ps . I have seen that bluefin superchips will remap to about 140hp. As Ford already sell a 140 hp version I would think that the engine will be able to take it. Also if I was to get it remapped would it be an idea to upgrade the cooling? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatto Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I can't comment on whether the remap you asking about is worthwhile or not. However a few things to consider... I seem to remember reading the Ford 140 engine had a different turbo and head gasket to the 100 and 125 variants. Also the gear ratios on the 100 and 125 variants are much longer than the ratios on the 140 bhp version. So even if you did upgrade your 100 to 140 it may not have the same acceleration as the ford offering due to the gearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJT Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Ok thanks for the points my main concern was whether the engine will be able to take the increase in hp so I will look into the differences of the engines. as for it not being as quick as a real 140ps I don't mind even an extra 20hp will make the car feel a bit different.

iantt Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Bluefin 140bhp remap on my focus 100ps ecoboost. It's been on for Just under 4yrs, now on 67k and no issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig26283 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I have bluefin on my 123bhp, so now apparently 154bhp. Seems to be all good so far, only been on about 3/4 months tho... transformed the car. 2nd and 3rd gear are wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have the 125 version and used Bluefin to take it to 150 and its been fine for over 40,000 miles now with some towing also. The only thing I would give though to its a larger inter cooler as the standard one is quite strained with the extra airflow / boost. I done some testing and found my intake temps were around 45 to 50 Deg C on a 20 Deg C day although that temp was taken going through 1st 2nd and 3rd gear flat out. The map really does help in the lower gears as it removes the restrictions put in on the Ford map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 the 140 factory fiesta uses the same intercooler as 100 and 125 without any issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatonm112 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 You wouldn't know unless you went to the trouble of fitting a air temp sensor into the intake which most owners just wouldn't ever do. I get your point but that is a Ford map you are referring to and it would be optimised to a much higher standard than a aftermarket map which makes more top end power and more torque lower down which would have a impact on intake temps.

iantt Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 you can monitor intake temps via the mapt sensor im sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 im sure the mapt sensor on my focus gets the pcm to switch on the intercooler fan (fiesta doesnt have)above a certain threshhold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The auto Fiesta’s have it and with a little modification it can even be fitted to the Mountune intercooler. Intake temp is accessible via OBD2 port. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
