carr-92 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 ordered my mr165 kit for my ecoboost today however I have to wait 2 weeks for the charge pipe kit to become available in the right colour :( (impatient) im hoping the map itself is just plug in and play, does it enable you t change it back to the normal settings using the handset? (newbie) anybody got this kit installed and is it worth the money or have I just rinsed my credit card for no reason? also what has people told insurance companies with the kit installed as mine is due for renewal in September? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Advise your insurance company as soon as it's fitted or you could end up uninsured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Once installed Scott it can't be put back to standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay465 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What is the ecoboost like thinking of purchasing one but torn between the metal edition and the ecoboost 140ps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-MK7 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 What is the ecoboost like thinking of purchasing one but torn between the metal edition and the 140ps I couldn't tell you about the 1.0 litre ecoboost, as I have the St. Before I got that I had a s1600 which has the same engine as the metal. It was a nice drive and quite nippy but it was a really revvy engine and not great in fuel. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay465 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It's so difficult they both look amazing, it's going to be my first car so I want to make sure its the right one, what sort of mpg did ur s1600 return ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 you should be able to change the map back to standard, mountune use the cobb acesssport handset by the looks of handset for the mr165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It is basically a cobb accessport but it locked to Mountune and doesn't work in the same way as the cobb unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramanic Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I contacted mountune about the handset and as above said it can't be reverted back which is why I dont want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Why can't you put it back? That's just cheap imo, Superchips can be put back. Can you sell their handsets for someone else to use or do they lock to each car? Quite a common thing on the old Clios was to get an RStuner, they were £199 just for the handset but everyone passed them about like a gimp in a prison for £99 and just downloaded the maps from the tuners website for €40, pretty good easy set up. So if this map locks and can't be removed what happens if it fails during the upload? I assume Mountune come to you to repair it then as the car isn't going anywhere? unlikely to happen but still.

MattDRX Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Bit stingy imo, anyone know if the lesser maps can be changed back? may be Ford asked them to not make it reversible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong it was a really nice car, but the mpg wasn't that great might get 300 miles or a little bit more depending how much you out your foot down.

Mountune have done that with all there maps. One of the downside with mountune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Yer was speaking to my brother about his and he said it does drink fuel, but the engine in the metal sound so good with and induction kit on. I've been looking at induction kit on the ecoboost and to me it make the car sound really rattly which is putting me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A would go bluefin mate ma mate (mechanic) said the mr165 (162bhp) Is actually 154-6bhp and with all the other upgrades (intercooler CAI and all hoses etc) takes it to the 162bhp so if you had all this on the bluefin it would take it up a good 6-8bhp so 154 would roughly be 160-162bhp Also spoke to a guy who does custom maps on Facebook and he said mountunes intercooler isn't the most efficient because they made it with warranty so it fits in the same section where old one was ...... He said a over radiator intercooler is much more effective too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'd get the airtec cooler, drops the inlet temp from 90+C to 30odd, pretty damn impressive stuff. only £350 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattDRX Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 it's not the kit making it rattly, the engine itself is a bit noisy for how small it is, removing the plastics and using metals just resonates it a touch more, you'll hear the turbo and valve a bit more too.

carr-92 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 So my mr165 is fitted ! 😊 as willy said 'it's a different animal' and I couldn't agree more. Yes it's expensive but you definitely feel the difference. Highly recommend to anyone who can afford it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Just need to de chrome it, sort the grill and then I'll have a 5 door Zetec S that Ford should have offered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
