Hi, I'm looking at getting my fiesta zetec s tdci remapped. I was wondering if anyone had some information for me please? And where the best place to go would be?

Thanks

Meh I wouldn't bother really, I'd go for a tuning box if I'm honest and take your pick between the many, they do exactly the same as a map and are easily removed and taken to your next diesel car too (you contact the company to send you the maps for the new car). I'm personally looking into Speedhawk's box, rang them up not long since and very knowledgeable and helpful. Or there's the ever popular Bluefin boxes.

As yours is a 2006 model probably the best 2 options would be RS Tuning in Leeds or the Mountune MRD270 upgrade.

No no no no no no no no. Don't ever get a chip mixed up with a remap.

A remap truly tells your car to work differently by changing whats inside the ECU.

A chip fools the car into thinking it's taking in different amounts of fuel and air to get the car to work differently.... really falsifying things and lying to the car about whats really happening.

You could go down the road of bluefin, which a handheld unit that you plug into ecu and it uploads a new map straight from the unit....

But if you're planning on spending a few hundred quid on getting power out your car... the best bet is to take it to somewhere that will remap it, they can put it onto the rolling road to see how it performs and tweak the map for your cars individual needs. Every map should potentially look different, depending on modifications you've done to engine, exhaust, air filter etc, even the engines straight from the factory all produce different bhp and performance, so individual maps would need done for this case too.

Fleabay chips do that you splice into the wiring loom do that yeah, diesel tuning boxes don't. Chips add resistance to fool the ECU into thinking the engine is cooler than it actually is so runs with more fuel. The boxes have maps in them that connect into the commonrail sensor. Granted, the cheap fleabay boxes aren't much to shout about either but the more expensive ones are decent.

Why would an intelligent box connect to the common rail sensor?

An intelligent box would connect to the OBD port, like a bluefin.

All these posh tuning boxes are is variable resistors.
