Owners and drivers of Ford models fitted with the latest version of the Duratorq turbodiesel engine and the marque’s double-clutch automatic transmission, the Powershift, can now enjoy improved performance and potentially, fuel economy, thanks a new ECU remap from global leader Superchips. The 210PS version of the engine, fitted to the Galaxy, S-Max, Mondeo and Edge ranges and using Delphi management, can now see its output increase by 33bhp at 4079rpm and a significant 82Nm torque at 1723rpm, thanks to the latest Superchips remap.


Not only does power and torque increase significantly, the way in which they are delivered also improves. The torque curve, for example, is flatter and the Superchips conversion eliminates a large dip in the curve as the engine approaches the mid-range. In addition to the improvements in performance, drivers can also expect to see gains of up to 7% in fuel economy with the remap, compared with a similar pre-conversion driving style.

The conversion can be carried out by owner themselves, using Superchips’ Bluefin device, at a cost of $800 rrp. With a Bluefin, users don’t need any mechanical or technical skills, simply plug the Bluefin handset into the diagnostic port (connecting to the vehicle’s Electronic Control Unit) and follow the on-screen instructions.
