1.8tdc 115bhp focus but 125bhp smax

[ssray]

Any idea what the difference is? We have a smax and are getting a 2004 focus

Think its two different tunes of the same engine, Duratorq I think they were called.

Trying to figure out if it's just the smax ecu of other bts turbo, cams etc

What’s the purpose of the original question?

Are you wanting the focus engine to have the same power as the SMax?

Calibrations are different, the heavier car needs a bit more shove to get a family&luggage up a hill. Injection timing and wastegate control are most likely.

Look at remaps for both vehicles - they both end up with same figures

must brme the ecu then if post remap they are the same, just wondering why they would steal 10bhp, also I have a tuning box thing on the smax so I could potentially put that on the focus

We have the 2.0 tdci in the S Max phase 1.
Frequently have 7 or a fully maiden boot and roof box.
140bhp is fine does the job - not very economical but it’s an old girl.
I’d not want less of frequently carrying the weight we do.

Next one - or it might be a Galaxy - will be 180/210/240 bhp likely 180-210 depending on what’s available and the options/colour

nobody stole anything, they just turned it up a bit in the heavier car, because its more likely to be fully loaded with people/luggage etc.

so we have a tuning box thing on the smax, same plugs on the focus, anything wrong in trying it on the focus?

Depends on the health of the focus engine doesn’t it
