Anything For A Diesel

Might sound a bit daft but is anywhere able to do an upgrade for a ford focus 1.6 2012 115ps. Looking for more grunt or should a remap be adequate enough?



Get a proper remap - most if not all tuning boxes will over fuel your engine - resulting in dpf issues sooner rather than later

Where would you suggest? I was looking at Bluefin but the gains don't look too impressive I'd only gain 21BHP and 44nm torque

Having had Bluefin on my old Mondeo ST TDCi & currently on my TXS I'd recommend it - but if it doesn't add enough for you then maybe google '' Focus 1.6 remap '' & see what comes up ?

20% increase in bhp is considered safe & within the design tolerances so + 21bhp in your case seems reasonable & torque is more important than bhp on a diesel

Hmm I think I'll go ahead with the remap once I've saved up a little extra, seems a massive increase on torque hoping I'll be able to feel that kind of increase.

Do any '' mods '' that could affect performance before the remap

And let your insurance know earlier rather than later... :)

I'm giving them a ring today to see if they will let me, if they don't I'll have to find another company last time they winged about me putting a k&n induction kit on my fiesta mk7 told me to remove it or they will void my cover, hopefully they will be okay with a remap if not time to look around.
