remapping, what do i want ?

[glasgowrob]

Hi guys,


getting my workhorse taxi remapped next week due to an egr issue and ford not being able to supply a new unit (stock on backorder)

I decided to go down the route of a EGR/DPF delete along with custom mapping and this is where i'm a bit lost.


previous cars I've always had generic maps and been happy enough with them. The company i'm using have a fantastic reputation and the mapper started asking what i'm aiming for and what sort of way I want the map done I found myself a bit lost.

the car is mainly a motorway mile muncher and spends its days plodding up and down the M6/74. The car probably spends half its life sitting around 2000 rpm. i'll never find myself looking to take part in a traffic light GP with it. granted I can sometimes think that 140 horses and the meagre dollop of torque it comes as standard with isn't enough when i'm on the back roads and this would be the main area I would love to see an improvement but what should I be telling my mapper i'm after?

thoughts please guys and girls as i'm sure that the vast majority of you on here will have some interesting thoughts on this


car is a mk4.5 2l tdci Mondeo 140 btw

quite happy with the results bearing in mind its a 160k mile 140 horsepower Mondeo




mapper did have it nudging 200 horses and 335 lbs/ft but backed the mapping off slightly

you've got me confused here guys lol

regards to peak torque I've got north of 300 lbs/ft from 1900 to 3400 rpm and 250 lbs/ft from 1500-4000 rpm




BUT to further discussion, would I see much in the way of benefits from going down the route of a hybrid turbo?

[glasgowrob]

what would you recommend to retain the same peak torque figures but to gain more torque lower down the rev range without sacrificing torque higher up,


curious if this can be achieved through modifications bolt on or otherwise or if this is something that can be achieved from the mapping side of things.

Zeuss you seem to know your ford engines, tis indeed a DW10 pug lump. but you've lost me i'm not the most technical of people.


just a quick update from the original mapping though I seem to have gained a solid 7-8 mpg on long distance runs post mapping which i'm obviously over the moon with. just feel the car could do with a "bit" more power

[glasgowrob]

thanks for the reply Zeuss,

in all honesty though I don't want the car to feel quicker I want it to actually be quicker if that makes any sense.


id love to have more oomph available over a longer rev range, what supporting modifications should I be considering id love another 1000 rpm north of 300lbs/ft torque but I don't even know if this would be feasible
