Ford Focus Gains Power with a Stage 1 Remap at Southwest Performance, Cornwall
A Ford Focus came into our garage in Pool, Cornwall seeking a boost in power. We recommended the 1.6TDCI, has our Southwest Performance Stage 1 remap, developed by Avon Tuning.
We are proud to be Avon Tuning’s only representatives in the Southwest.
Ford Focus Remap
Before we could begin, we needed to check the cars condition. We do this to see that to our knowledge, there are no faults which could compromise the cars condition in the future due to our mapping.
Once we were happy with the health of the car, we applied the reliable Avon Tuning stage 1 remap through our top of the range equipment. We are continuously updating our equipment to stay ahead and ensure we are available to everyone.
Power Jim but not as we know it
After the remapping was complete we took the Ford Focus remap for a test drive. The initial readings should have been 109 horse power or hp and 240 torque or nm. As they car had high mileage we found that it actually made 98 hp and 215nm. During the second drive it was revealed the stage 1 remap had increased the hp to 133 (136 expected) and the nm to 300 (310 expected).
These results mean that the car will now run more efficiently, and have more power, the slightly less than expected figures were no doubt down to the 172,000 miles the car had covered, still very respectable and the customer did not wish to have any work done on the inlet system to clean away carbon.
Walnut Blasting?
We did offer to carry out a walnut blasting of the inlet system and run the engine through a cleaning process but the owner decided just to do the oil change and flush himself.
Who can remap properly?
It is always recommended you go to a reputable company to remap your car. If the remapping is incorrect, you could find yourself with unnecessary issues and bills.
The boss of Southwest Performance has written the very thesis on how to map cars which is used around the world at mapping training centres. The paper is particularly referred to when training mechanics.
