Stoney871 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Bought Bluefin for My ST on Monday, awaiting delivery tomorrow. Should give an extra 47 BHP and about 124 Nm of extra torque. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam40 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hi, Does installing bluefin remapping chips, increase your insurance premiums up because it's a modification to the original factory standard? Liam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam. It can do yes, but some insurers don't they are sometimes just glad you called to let them know, just make sure you get a price before getting it done.

Liam40 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 That's interesting with insurers! I visited the bluefin website today, just to check it out! Did a few searches for Ford Focus 1.0 & 1.6 EcoBoost, surprisingly when I did it, the 1.6 EcoBoost bluefin remapping cost less than the 1.0 remapping, strange. Thought I'd check to see if my Focus 1.6 Zetec non-turbo could be bluefinned it can, it would only give around 10 bhp more, plus a bit more torque. And I've noticed there is a bluechip remapping centre not to far from me But, I don't think for the price they charge for remapping, it's worth it for 10 bhp more. Liam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Tuning a non-turbo car is very rarely worth it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootsox Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Although maximum power increase may be small, what you often get is a boost in mid-range which greatly improves driveability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZetecShearer1987 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 So ive had the bluefin installed for over a week now along with the new k@n filter fitted and the difference is quite substantial to say the least. Main Changes ive noticed 1st gear is alot better at pulling away strongly, before always felt sluggish and lacked any pull. Strange one prior to bluefin. Mid range is so much better, the torque and instant power pick up now feels to me like a new car. Low down revs pull more smoothly and is more eager. MPG has also improved if driven sensibly, long journeys i am pushing mid 40's on my average trip and before struggled to make 40. Basically it feels like having a new car, yes its only 20bhp claimed on the bluefin but its what it does with that 20bhp and extra torque which makes it a much better drive. I would recommend this bluefin remap to anyone with these ecoboost engines as im loving the upgrade to my 1.6 and its probably the best upgrade ive done and it took 20 mins to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 My turbo spools up earlier and the car is far more responsive to the schnell pedal. 😆 Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam40 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Whether it's 1.0 or 1.6 EcoBoost, one thing I can't find on the Bluefin remap website is, is there an increase in top speed. Does anyone know? Liam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I wouldn't worry about if the speed has increased, you'll never reach it unless you are on the autobahn or a track. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newhamish Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Any difference on getting the bluefin or having it installed by a bluefin dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 At a dealer you will get a live rolling road map which is more bespoke but costs more. With a handset you get a more generic map but is is removeable, only takes about 30 - 40 minutes to install and when you change cars you only pay for new software as you already have the handset (plus the handset is a nice dtc reader too) .
