damocl Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey all :D Does anyone know what the actual difference is that makes up the extra 22ps? Im guessing its gonna include work like different inlet, maybe different head even on it completely and a different/updated ECU?

orcomma Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 well the 60PS engine is more economical, emits less CO2 and is 1 tax band lower than the 82PS version, but other than the different ECU mapping there isn't a technical difference AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damocl Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 So your saying just a ECU remap will make it up to the normal 82ps? If so thats pretty good :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcomma Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 yes, i suspect it would be prohibitively costly to make two sets of 1.25L components I reckon its just an ECU mapping - but - if you do get it remapped to 82bhp, you have to tell the car tax man that it is a higher VED band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason being most ECU remaps make the car more fuel efficent.. *99% of the time* So a good company may be able to map it to 82 + keep the emissions low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damocl Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Also just looked it up. 60ps and 82ps are the same tax code at D catergory.. So it wouldnt matter anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nay ZS Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 yes, i suspect it would be prohibitively costly to make two sets of 1.25L components I reckon its just an ECU mapping - but - if you do get it remapped to 82bhp, you have to tell the car tax man that it is a higher VED band I'm pretty sure the tax is paid on the emissions from when the car was registered. If you were doing an engine swap that's a different matter however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcomma Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Also just looked it up. 60ps and 82ps are the same tax code at D catergory.. So it wouldnt matter anyways I was looking at this :- From Ford's website: http://www.config.fo...wyyyfuelspc.htm 60PS - CO2 = 128 g/km 82PS - CO2 = 133 g/km From Direct.gov website: http://www.direct.go...cle/DG_10012524 128 g/km CO2 = VED Band D 133 g/km CO2 = VED Band E B) but... I see on the main Ford website they now have them at 127 and 129g respectively. I humbly, wind my neck back in!! on the tax man note, I thought if you increase the emissions to a new tax band you have to inform the tax people I guess I was wrong about that one too. although since i now realise they arent in different tax bands that seems irrelevant anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damocl Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Does anyone know anymore about this? Very interested if it is just a remap will make it better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
