Ford Focus 1.5tdci 95hp electronic tuning
First, a step back; we want to remember the first Focus tuned with the installation of additional digital control units. In this case, it was in the early 2000s, and the Focus Tddi had a 4-cylinder 1800 with one overhead camshaft, 2 valves per cylinder, a turbocharger with waste-gate, and an air-to-air intercooler mounted in the "original" position. The direct injection on these models was handled by a radial piston injection pump; the engine started at 90 hp, and to install the control unit, you had to perform some wire connections. This was certainly less convenient than on modern common-rail engines, where everything is installed with simple connectors. The performance, however, benefited a great deal from this tuning. Today requests for upgrade kits for these Focus engines are very rare. Now let's move to the present day...
How to increase the power of the Ford Focus 1.5tdci 95hp?
As mentioned, things are quite different today. There is no electrical wiring or modifications that leave a footprint. It is all very clean and simple. The new Ford Focus Diesels only mount common-rail engines (they have actually already been using the most advanced injection system for many years, in fact, the 1800tdci were already using the most advanced injection system, and then 1.6 common-rail engines supplied by the PSA group came into use) so the installation requires only the insertion of some connectors identical to those present on the Ford engine wiring harness. Naturally, these connectors are included in the kit that SELETRON sends directly to your home, together with the additional control unit properly programmed and the clear instructions with photos for Plug&Play installation.
What power increase can you get for the Ford Focus 1.5tdci 95hp?
First, should we say a few words on the standard performance? This engine is a 1499 cm3 4-cylinder, with a modern injection and turbocharging control system, designed to move a car that is not exactly a feather at over 1300kg. The 1500tdci has a power of 95 horsepower expressed at 3600 rpm, while the maximum torque value is 250Nm at 1750 rpm. The standard performance is a maximum speed of 180km/h (acceptable) with a zero-100 in 12 seconds, perhaps the most "painful" figure for those who have chosen this engine and not the 120cv also available. What can SELETRON do for those who are looking for some performance boost? When you install the CHIPBOX designed specifically for Focus 1.5tdci, you can immediately get an increase in power of 27hp and an equally good 50Nm increase in torque. In practice, this Focus 95hp can do better than its 120hp big sister in terms of performance and perhaps also in terms of diesel consumption. This is possible because the installation of the additional CHIPBOX control unit also optimizes fuel consumption, thanks largely to the greater torque available at lower engine speeds. As mentioned earlier, this allows you to make greater use of the gearbox's high ratios both when accelerating and climbing.
How can you make the Ford Focus 1.5tdci 95hp sportier?
So we have just talked about an enhancement kit made up of an external chip tuning unit that can be easily connected to the engine. Note that this is not a remapping of the car's ECU (which would leave indelible traces behind) but a kit that can be removed at any time, bringing the Focus's performance back to the original. In addition, we would like to introduce you to another kit available for this car, the well-known PEDALBOOSTER TOUCH that can be connected just as easily and without irreversible changes (this too can be removed without any problem) and that, although it does not increase power and torque, allows you to obtain a much more reactive engine response. The result is a Focus that is more pleasant and engaging to drive, and that feels less heavy than the bulk that the 1.5tdci has to shift. It is an chip tuning additional module that can be set to work in one of 4 different levels to suit your needs and your driving style!
What happens when CHIPBOX and PEDALBOOSTER are installed in my Ford Focus 1.5tdci 95hp?
Instantly achieve:
- +27hp Power increase
- +50Nm Torque increase
- Optimized diesel consumption
- Increased acceleration
- Improved recovery
- Better uphill climbing
- Improved engine response to accelerator commands
- Plug&Play Installation
- No risk of voiding your engine's warranty
- Chip tuning additional unit can be dismantled at any time
