s40 2.0d tuning

benr7310 · Nov 15th, 2011, 15:52

i have been told by people on the ford focus owners club that the st intercooler is a direct fit for the 2.0tdci focus, which i have been told is the same engine as the s40 2.0d.

i know of one guy that had tuned his focus to 200bhp and 400lbft!

does anyone know if the st225 intercooler is definately a direct fit?

I have an ST standard intercooler here which you could try, it came off my own car which I have modified considerably.

However, I very much doubt that it would make much difference to your car as the standard one should be more than adequate for a modest hike in outputs.

I can offer you MTE's premium Swedish written software for your car for £435 including VAT that raises the outputs to 165bhp with 400nm of very usefull torque acrioss a wide rev. range.

Regards, Don.

Don, is yours a 2.0D? Could you let us know us know or myself via pm if you don't want everyone knowing what mods you have done? I'd very much love 200hp from mine. I'd imagine that the diesel ST intercooler is the same as the one fitted to the S40? I did see somewhere on here that someone had fitted an uprated intercooler for a T5 onto the 2.0D?

Don is just a MTE tuner, don't think he has an S40.

Well what ever car it is that he has "modified considerably" if it's a Volvo and guessing he is a tuner then I'd imagine he'd know if 200hp is achievable from the 2.0D....

Well Don stated he could tune it to 165BHP. Why would you want to tune it further, it will just struggle. How much money do you want to spend, you can do anything but there surely is a limit.

Buy a D5 or T5 and tune it if your looking for high BHP and torque in my opinion.

I think you pair are spot on, As one of you has their car remapped and the other is looking into getting theirs mapped so why not share a little bit of experience of what the map does. What better way than to sit in the passenger seat...

No-one said they were speeding and you don't need to speed to show the map, you will just notice the complete difference from the standard car compared to sitting in the mapped car.

Hope you both get something out of tomorrow. I would love to come along and meet you pair but unfortunately I'm at the Bike Show.

Cheers Craig, I was thinking the same thing, you'll feel the response in throttle without any speeding. I've always wanted to get it mapped as going from 200hp to 136 was a big loss but can’t say that it feels that bad as it makes up for it with torque

but somehow it does feel it could do with some more when pressing on sometimes when the mood takes me.

Secondly, where is the new showroom picture of your new alloys. :-)

My HEICO was off eBay. I was shocked when I won it as I asked the question on here about fitting a D5 back box to the original system and others were saying about Focus ST boxes and things like this and then out of the blue someone posted on the same thread about this system on eBay..... I expected it to go for silly money of snapped up for the buy it now price of £400. I slapped a bid down on it at the starting bid price of £300 with a max of £350 and I was the one and only bidder on the item even after it being posted on here. To say the least I was shocked and so pleased when I found I won it for £300!!

I’ve cleaned the car and the weather has been shocking to get any decent pics yet but will try and get some up soon... I'll go start a thread now in the show room of what it was like when I got it to what it is now and then the new wheels.

Craig, that's a shame! Would have been good to have a little meet!
Maybe another weekend
