Focus 1.8 TDCi

OK, the Corolla is gone (thank fuck) and I've got her the above. It's an 04
plate, black, 5 door, alloys, air con, blah de blah. 115PS and nippy it is.

Being the footerer abouter that I am, it's got to have more. Anyone with any
experience of chipping these? What sort of power is available? She thinks
its quick enough but I'm going to use it a fair whack over the course of
next month to do some long distance jaunting and would like to have a bit
more poke

With a bluefin, you'll be getting about 125bhp. Thats about the limit on the
stock turbo (teeny) and downpipe.

Get a spare EGR valve- you'll be needing it...

I wouldn't waste your money as the gain will be very small despite magazine

claims.
You would have been better getting a Nissan Almera 2.2 diesel as they are
136BHP
standard and a lot cheaper and far quicker than a focus.
They respond very well to tuning. So does the Rover 25TDi 2litre. I have
had them on
the rolling road pushing out 140BHP and reaching 60mph in 7s. Very strong
engines
that only require a better exhaust and air filter.
The focus is not very good, so best leaving it as standard and then you will
not have it
falling to bits.

I didn't buy it for the out and out straight line grunt. I bought it for the
fact it excels in all the other regions those cars you mention don't.

Bollocks.

HTH

What I thought.

OK, so the Passat is heavier, but it's the same power, and there's no
way in this world it gets even close to that figure.

Utter bollucks. Have you personally tried tweaking a turbodiesel?

You would have been better getting a Nissan Almera 2.2 diesel as they are

I can think of lots of reasons why to not buy the Almera. Here are a few:

It's tepid to drive.
It's a rebadged Renault.
It doesn't like corners.
It's noisy.
The ride is wallowly.
It's "compact" inside.

And finally don't forget, it's the car "they" didn't want you to have.

Well, there's a candidate for the "Don't listen to this guy" award 2007.

Buy an Almera instead of a Focus, indeed. That's like saying "Shit on your
dinner because you're recycling". Almeras are fucking awful.

For 140bhp from a Rover 25 TDI, you're looking at chip, filter, decat
and a fiddle with the wastegate actuator. I know this because I had
the otherwise identical 220SDi once, and saw 140bhp with exactly those
mods. You won't be getting anywhere near that with just the filter and
exhaust though - it's the chip you need. While I'm not disputing that
that sort of power is easily obtainable, 0-60 in 7s is pure fantasy.
More like 8.5... To see 7s, you need over 140bhp, which means new
injectors. With lots of work and lots of cash, a smidge over 180bhp is
obtainable, which _might_ get you down into the 7s 0-60 range. You run
into the other problem though - the Rover PG1 gearbox is already
running close to its torque limits in standard tune, so imagine what
its life expectancy would be with another significant wodge of torque
going into it...
