Sohrab Focus 1.0 100 bhp Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hi guys, new here and just wanted to know if remapping my 2015 1.0 ecoboost 100 would be a good idea? Would this affect my car my car in the long run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Check out this company, they've been running their own modified 1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta for a while now. http://www.pumaspeed.co.uk/car-Focus-Mk3-10-EcoBoost_3_461.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohrab Focus 1.0 100 bhp Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Thanks for your reply. This doesn't really say much about ECU remap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Ive edited the link to the Focus 1.0 which shows their remaps. One of them is OEM 125bhp spec if you don't want to stray from what bhp Ford actually offer but still get a bit more oomph than your current 100bhp.

Sohrab Focus 1.0 100 bhp Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 I have seen an ECU remapp from yorkshireremapps and they state my 100bhp could get 142 after the new install Really confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although any power increase puts extra strain on the engine, gearbox, clutch etc. It's best to stick to a well known company with good reviews to reduce the risk of reliability issues. Quite a few people on here use a Bluefin remap on the 1.0 EcoBoost and so far they seem to be reliable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohrab Focus 1.0 100 bhp Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Thanks for th advise! I think i will just stick to bluefin, they seem to be recommended by everyone. Will update once done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I have bluefin on my focus 1.0 ecoboost 100bhp. No issues after over 4 years and car now on 70k . Drives so much better . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As its something they all advertise 🤔 Mpg hasn't improved any, I doubt it would as the mapping is altered for full throttle as such. I do get good economy figures as I know how to maximize fuel efficiency by the way I can drive. In the summer I can achieve 65-68mpg. Winter and with 3 adults to work has dropped to 50 approx.

iantt Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Visit a garage? With bluefin you can order the handset online. Then you upload your map to there server. They alter the map and you download it , then with handset you put the modified map on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohrab Focus 1.0 100 bhp Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Oh okay, i thought they had to do it manually in a garage, seems a lot more simple. I'm guessing they will provide full instructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
