Willy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 With the extra power is there any difference in mpg? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Drive it like Miss Daisy and yes it will. Drive it how it should be and your MPG will drop slightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domo85 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Now we have some miles on it the mpg is exactly the same. doing 43mpg we do allot of mixed journeys short and long but have not done any realy motorway trips yet so it should get better.

domo85 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Good little tool that ha yea, no idea how accurate it is but i would say it feel around the 8sec mark so probably not far wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecoboost125 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I have ordered my car on finance, end of March atm, apart from effecting the warrenty would the bluefin effect anything else, sorry for sounding dumb im not very clever when it comes to this kind of stuff :) Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymarkie Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 You can always go back to te stock mapping. Takes about 5-10 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymarkie Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 my experience 100ps model Bleufin: first gear: little difference. second gear a lot more power above 2900 rpm (speed 105kph). Third gear: a lot quicker revving and more power at the top of the rev range. No difference in speed (max is still doing 160kph in third gear.) Fourth gear: bottom with lots of power. around 180kph max quicker revving. Fifth gear: more power and faster he pulls through. overtaking is a cinch. top speed will be somewhere be around 200kph (not tested). Expect an update bluefin. I think it can be even better :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecoboost125 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 How much bhp have you got from the bluefin? 140? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymarkie Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They say, 138bhp i believe it is true. It is much faster than the 125hp focus :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymarkie Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It is a verry smooth mapping. If you rev above 3000 it feels fasther than the overboost function on the 125 version. Drive normal and you have more torque in low revs and da decrease of fuel consumption :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymarkie Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The installation is scary, but so easy. Almost plug and play :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymarkie Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I will load the standaard map back friday to feel the real difference. Just to test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Sorry guy's but no info on the group buy. Rang SuperChips and was told that there is a discount already applied. I've purchased a Bluefin handset today and expect good results. My Fiesta's at 125 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackgl Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I assume the bluefin map is only good on a standard car with no induction or exhaust system? Also what octane fuel did they map it to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

666Damian666 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Surely just adding a performance back box wouldn't change much ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domo85 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would doubt it. If you plan on making some bigger changes like cat back, induction kit or intercooler upgrades then you would always be better off with a custom map any way.

Varming Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Just curious: In case of a guarantee case with Ford how big are the odds that they will notice that I remapped the car with the Bluefin if I return it to the original mapping before going to the repair shop? This is my only concern with remapping. I know that they can see that something has happend but is it something they have to be really thorough to notice or will it be like a flashing sign to them?

domo85 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think it depends on the garage how much they go into checking things. and i suppose what its gone in for to be repaired. if you have a total engine failure im sure they would check but something like gearbox and things like this i doubt its something they would look for.

Willy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Any damage caused by the bluefin remap is covered by the Superchips guarantee. Ford would know its been chipped but by a reputable company. My Bluefin has just arrived :) :D Sent from my GT-I9505 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varming Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Any damage caused by the bluefin remap is covered by the Superchips guarantee. Ford would no its been chipped but by a reputable company. Not true when you're outside the UK: "This Warranty is only valid for Mechanical or Electrical Breakdown occurring to vehicles within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but is extended to cover travel within other Member States of the European Union for up to thirty days in total during the period of cover under this Warranty." Congrats on the Bluefin, I'm very curious to hear about your experience with it :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varming Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Just edited my posting but the Superchips warranty got the following: "This Warranty is only valid for Mechanical or Electrical Breakdown occurring to vehicles within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but is extended to cover travel within other Member States of the European Union for up to thirty days in total during the period of cover under this Warranty." So for me it wouldn't cover any breakdowns as I'm not in the UK or Northern Ireland.. "Customer The owner of the Motor Vehicle to which a Superchips product has been fitted, and who is domiciled within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." So I'm legally not a customer if I buy the Bluefin Edited January 30, 2014 by Varming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
