Engineer Wants To Calibrate Engine.

Hello all. I've just purchased an 2008 Ford Fusion 1.6 TDCI. I wouldn't mind having a go at re-calibrating the ECU to get better driveability fuel economy etc.

As it happens I am an engineer and for the past 2 1/2 years I have been recalibrating the ECU of a 1.6 TCDI (DV6) engine for emissions with an adaptered manufacturer ECU. (Unfortunately I have no idea how to do a normal production ECU)

Maybe I will just do an EGR blank instead! -Though I'm not sure wheather to have a hole in the plate or not on my model? Unless of course I can find an easy way just to remap it? Or borrow an ECU from work?

Thoughts? Thanks

    A blanking plate with a hole in it is waste of time & money & defeats the purpose of blanking the E.G.R.V.

    I think a plate with a hole would reduce EGR flow, maybe the EGR valve would open more to try to compensate but it's flow would be reduced for the same valve position. Regardless I have ordered a blanking plate with out a hole. I'll let you know the results. Maybe a tutorial?

    Have a look at Lenny's guides. It's for the Focus, but same engine.

    Edit:

    I think it was Lenny who posted a guide...
