My EGR decided to start sticking AGAIN so decided to blank it..... These have a flow sensor so would need blanking aswell as mapping out.

Now if I was to get it mapped, Made sense to do a few more upgrades didn't it? :rofl:

The 1.6TDCI / HDI is also fitted to the Mk2 Focus and came as a 110bhp rather than a 90 like the Fiesta.

Same engine, difference being the turbo is larger and a VNT and the injectors are also different.


So genuine Garrett GT1544v with new feed pipes/banjo bolts etc.... And Focus 259 injectors with new genuine Ford seals. (Bascally Focus 110 Turbo/Injectors)



NB Styling do a EGR blank, Catch Can and RamAir filter kit so decided to just get the lot.



Then got it all mapped by HDI Tuning to 145bhp / 290nm. A Mk6 ST150 is 150bhp / 190nm by comparison. :hehe:


I was hoping naively my clutch would last until I done a bit more research on a 6 speed conversion...... It started to 'just' slip on full boost in 3rd.

A 6 speed conversion needs custom mounts and shafts so just decided to go for an upgraded clutch for now.

Billet pressure plate, Organic full clutch and an upgraded slave cylinder. These are rated to 400nm so should be fine.



While browsing I noticed they also do an intercooler piping kit to fit a Mk2 Focus RS Intercooler...... Then seen an intercooler for £40 on eBay off a low mileage RS so that also got ordered. :rofl:




Just need to get a free weekend to fit the clutch and intercooler and give the engine bay a clean but the rest is done and it's back on the road.
